I love the diversity of the content and every episode is really educational and engaging. I’ve lived in Arizona for 33 years and have learned so many things from this podcast!
My family all live in AZ , so it’s fun to visit and have some knowledge of the things that make AZ special. Well researched and well presented material.
Every episode truly brings me joy to listen to. Growing up in downtown Phoenix (Central Park!) and now living in São Paulo Brazil, every episode here just makes me happy to learn more about Home.
