My husband and I have bought your books and laughed uncontrollably. Now we listen to your podcasts, especially so we can learn tips about gear, best time of year to visit, and listen to Karen’s delightful laughter. However, the tee up to the stories seems to take a lot of time. It’s the equivalent of reading an Instagram post that uses countless periods to lengthen the post. Why waste the reader’s or listener’s time? Keep up the good work.

Love this podcast
I love listening! This is a great podcast to have on while driving, cooking, relaxing, or anything else. I’ve listened to every episode 2-3 times, it really never gets old. Lots of funny moments and good tips you won’t find anywhere else about our national parks... definitely give it a listen

Y’all are great
Love the books and now the podcasts. Keeps me going and laughing as I workout. I get lost in the story. I really enjoy your personal take on your adventures. So much better to hear about trips from someone than to just try to research.
So much information about your experiences has me trying to get to more of our national parks. Thanks for the laughs and inspiration.

A magical podcast.
I really enjoy listening every week. The show is educational but certainly not bland. I appreciate their sense of humor and the genuine feel of their relationship. I also get a chuckle at how easily Karen cries when something touches her...it reminds me of my mom.

Dear Bob and Sue Podcasts
We love hearing about your adventures! Listening to your podcasts is part of our weekend routine and we make notes to help with planning our own trips. Thanks so much for entertaining us and sharing your experiences and knowledge!

Love, love, love!
Thank you for your podcasts. I recently listened to your first and second books via audiobook. My husband bought me a National Park passport book and I’m looking forward to filling it. Thank you for all of the suggestions and ideas. We are also into visiting breweries and drinking craft beer, so our future vacations will involve how many breweries and National Parks we can visit!

Entertaining and informative!
I love this podcast and always listen to their episodes first. I usually listen while out for a walk or run and ar some point find myself laughing out loud. Can you post a picture of the table Matt has been working on?

Checks all the Boxes
I’ve read all the Dear Bob and Sue books and they were great. I appreciate your humor and found them to be both, informative and fun to read.
I recently started to listen to the podcasts while walking my dogs or driving in the car, and have especially enjoyed them while quarantining at home, since traveling anywhere is out of the question.
I love hearing your stories; you both have great voices for doing a podcast and your laughter makes it apparent you also have a very fun loving relationship. I’m limiting how often I listen because like a great book, I don’t want them to end. I highly recommend this podcast for anyone who is interested in the great outdoors!

Informative, Inspiration and Entertaining!
The combination of Matt’s rye sense of humor and Karen’s infectious giggle will have you laughing out loud while you learn more about all of the US National Parks and other wilderness areas. a word of caution though, listening to this podcast may cause you to quip your job, sell your home, pack the SUV, live in the sunshine, swim the sea and drink the wild air.

Fun & inspiring
I started reading the Dear Bob and Sue books after my husband and I went on our first major national parks trip. After that trip, we were in love with the parks & planned on visiting them all! I was so excited to find the books, and now doubly excited for a podcast! I listen to it during my daily runs through the neighborhood. I love all the tips, tricks, and humor!

Even my husband listens.....😂
I love all their books and now can say the same for the podcasts. My husband who usually NEVER listens to a podcast with me is always willing to listen. We have added so many more places to our list of places we want to see! Thanks for making us laugh and helping us dream bigger for our future adventures!

Fun and Infectious (in a good way)!
Karen and Matt’s podcast is amazing, astonishing, jaw-dropping, stunning, flabbergasting, jarring, shocking, blindsiding, and startling fun to listen to. Thank you for taking us places and making it so loving. My “bucket-list” is getting “joltingly” bigger with your books and podcasts!

Great stories
I discovered the books a couple of years back and loved every page. Even got my wife to read them. Now with the podcast as much as I travel it makes the time go by so quick and even though I’m hearing some of the same stories again I can’t get enough of them keep up the great work. This is voice dictation while I’m driving so I hope it makes sense thanks for the great job

Karen has such a beautiful voice for podcasting!
I have loved their books since they were released and the podcast is even better!
Listening to the podcast feels like a visit with good friends. I have learned so much and live vicariously through the Smith’s and their adventures! Karen has such a lovely voice! I think she should record audiobooks for a side hustle! Matt is funny a lot of the time. Thanks for the gift of this podcast!
