What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

What a great podcast! I never knew how much I did NOT know about Hawaii. David did an excellent job talking about the culture and history of the people and the road to statehood. It was enlightening to say the least and everyone should hear what he has to say. Mandy Powers Norrell did a great job sharing her knowledge and tips for anyone ever planning to make a trip there. I highly recommend listening to this podcast!

I really didn’t know what to expect from a travel podcast, but so far I am really loving this one! This is the travel deep dive of my dreams! This show has inspired me to add places to my bucket list that I had previously not considered.
