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. Gives me that loving nostalgia that reminds me that Arizona really is an amazing place. Thank you everyone and keep up the amazing work you do day in and day out. You’re really appreciated down south of the equator here!
I loved the episode about best Arizona movies. Agree with the pics and also have a few new movies to check out!
This is an information based podcast. It is unbiased and does not humor conspiracy theories. These journalists have integrity and it shows. Plus it's very entertaining!
This is a far left wing podcast. If you’re a far left winger you’ll love this pod. I can’t wait until the AZ Republic goes out of business and all these people lose their jobs
