Customer Reviews
If you don’t get to live in the Green Mountain state
Listening to the podcast allows the millions of us Vermonter wannabes to imagine that we live there. Some topics engage me more than others, but each one is treated with depth and open minded inquiry, and filled with local color. Just when you think the toad is smoothly paved, it will turn into gravel. Stay alert!
Incredibly soothing
Love this podcast; it’s both informative and comforting. All of the narrators are great. Please do more of these!
This speaks to my heart
I adore this podcast. And I adore Cape Cod. I don’t use the word “adore” lightly. There is something wild and so very natural about the Cape and these short essays about this wonderful place make me yearn to be there full time. I hope these stories continue. Thank you for this podcast that speaks to my heart.
