Hey Travis, love this episode! I’m always on the hunt for cheaper ways of overnight accommodations. And you guys had some great ideas! On another note, I gotta say, this was super entertaining. As a longtime reader of your blog, this was the first time I’d listened to your podcasts. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but they were awesome. Especially since I listened to a couple while I unpacked (just moved!) and it was the best way to perform an otherwise boring task. So thanks for spicing up unpacking!
@Lauren L.- Well thank you so much! I know a lot of longtime readers are a bit hesitant to try out the podcast (hey, I didn’t listen to podcasts until 2 years ago, so I know the feeling), but I love the format both for me to get all my thoughts out in an entertaining way and for people to be able to listen to it while, like you said, they do boring tasks.
Personally, I always like doing the dishes now because it gives me time to listen to pods!
Really glad you liked it, and thanks for letting me know too!
