Customer Reviews
Entertaining and Informative
Looking to move to Florida and stumbled across this podcast. Hosts were informative, love their little tirades they they go off on and how they laugh with each other, makes it less rigid and more personal. I subscribed and I’m looking forward to listening to more episodes!
Vocabulary lessons needed
Listened to the March 2021 episode about best places to live. The girl speaking said ‘like’ & ‘you know’ over & over again. It became annoying very quickly. Go back to school & take a speech class.
Come back!
My husband and I will be moving to Cape Coral in 2026 and we LOVE your podcast. So informative and a great easy listen while working. Please continue to put out great content.
