Live like a local

I love how every episode feels like you’re causally hanging out with Roz & Aly! Thanks for sharing the love for this amazing city and community!

This Podcast keeps me dreaming!

My wife and I fell in love with Wilmington 10 years ago and we will live there permanently in life at some point. This podcast makes me feel so connected to this community that has been so warm and welcoming to us over the years. We visit at least 3 times a year and I have a continuous list of what we need to try to do because of Roz and Aly! I can visualize the places they are describing and every 2 weeks I am so excited to visit Wilmington thru their stories!

Love!

I love listening to this podcast! I live in LA but visited Wilmington for the first time in April and am now obsessed with moving there, this podcast keeps me from missing it too much! And now I have a growing list of things to do the next time I’m back.
