Great Information

I recently found your podcast and wanted to let you know how much I love all the useful information you give. You get right to the topic and the fact that you interview locals of the city or town you are featuring is such a great help. We will be traveling to the New England states in October so we are listening to all your episodes for those particular states. Well done and keep them coming!
