The drive in.!by pinkbubbless66!!“I have downloaded several podcasts since I got “the” phone. I
was listening to Healthy Married Life’s podcast and they
mentioned checking you guys out so I did. I have a 40 minute drive and listen every morning on the way to work. You
have been very informative and given me an “aha” moment
every day. Thank you for everything you do!”

Substantial, Easy-Going and Life-Affirming! !by NRamsland!
!“Vanessa and Daniel Hayes consistently produce fresh and useful
podcasts on topics of simplicity. I started listening for their subject
matter but honestly, at this point I would keep listening to them if they started podcasting about the social lives of pugs in post-Industrial Pacific Northwestern cities. They are THAT good!”
