  • Bad Pod

    Dry bland generic stories that ramble on. Lots of better options than someone asking the same old trope questions. Fake positivity is so cringe.

  • Very well done

    Professional and well executed interviews. The host is spectacular. I don’t see anymore episodes in 2022 so I hope this pod isn’t finished. Regardless, I plan to enjoy what’s here and listen to them all.

  • Love this podcast!

    This podcast has been on my list for a while, but I just started listening to it today and I am already almost caught up! I love the content. I grew up taking trips to Duluth, MN in the summers to camp near Lake Superior and I lived there for 4 years while earning my degree, so Lake Superior is very dear to my heart. The Great Lakes truly are amazing and this podcast really shows how beloved they are by the people who enjoy them. Thank you for your great work!
