Life is good on Long Island!

This is my favorite podcast!!! Love listening to all things related to Long Island! I’ve lived here my entire life, but I have still learned about so many hidden treasures. Love hearing what’s happening and what’s new. It’s also great to be reminded about all of the things that we have in our own backyard. Listening gets me excited to go out and explore more!!!
