Enjoying the Joe and Angie dynamic

I’m new to this podcast after spending the last 18 months or so diving deep into points and miles. The AT101 podcast is practical and well-structured, with friendly and accessible hosts. While not relevant to my situation, I could also see how Joe’s experience traveling with a special needs kiddo could be quite helpful to many families. Keep up the good work!

Need better episode preparation

No one can know everything about the travel industry but please don’t say things like “I don’t know what the world’s largest hotel chain is” or “I don’t know what benefits are available with Choice Privileges.”

This is basic preparation. Even if something comes up spontaneously it should not be an issue to pull up the appropriate webpage on the fly.

Another left wing points blogger

Supporting “miles for (illegal) migrants, talking about how bad it is to see “white” bloggers. To be on the left is to be a racist. Intentions don’t matter, treating people differently according to their skin color is fundamentally racist. Disgusting
