Dear Bob and Sue Podcast
Thoroughly enjoy the podcasts, as well as the books. During 2020 they served as an entertaining way to pass the time. Matt and Karen are so real and down to earth to listen to. It seems like they are old friends visiting. I now have a "wish bucket" full of places to visit. I just hope that you will have more books to share your adventures.

I loved their books and now their podcast!
Entertaining as well as informational that will make you smile and laugh out loud! A great place for all your National Parks info. I have loved all Matt and Karen’s books and now their podcast! If you want an inside scoop on a park they’ve got you covered, because they’ve been there. Take a hike, relax and listen while you enjoy the podcast, with or without the Cheez-it’s.

Love you guys!
I just recently discovered this podcast a few weeks ago and listen to it on my commute to work. Always brings a smile to my face... and then I arrive at work. But seriously, this is my favorite podcast and I hope it never ends.

Informative and Fun!
Love this podcast!! Matt and Karen are easy and fun to listen to - I love the way they joke back and forth and it’s obvious they enjoy spending time together. Their tips and tricks about visiting the public lands are so helpful and when we plan a trip to a park I always re-listen to their episode about it! Listening to their podcast is like sitting down and chatting with great friends around a campfire. :)

Thanks for the laughs and live saving!
I’m getting ready for the adventure of a lifetime (Alaska!) and found your podcast. Only listened to a few (all the Alaska ones! LOL) so far but had to say I’m already finding some helpful advice. But more importantly, your joyful presentation is wildly encouraging and makes me even more excited for my own adventure. Thank you so much.

Road trip podcast
Listened to this podcast while camping & traveling with my 20-ye old son through Colorado last summer. He was the one who kept suggesting we listen to another episode. We share a love of nature and being outdoors and this gave us even more to talk about as we drove through some truly beautiful places in CO and AZ.

Love this show!
Your podcast has brought me so much joy! It’s lighthearted and I can feel your joy! I love the national parks and it has been an amazing couple of years exploring them with my husband. Love your laughter together after so many years that can make light of the marital craziness embracing each other’s quirks, lol.

Great Podcasts (and also great books)!
My wife and I have read all of Matt and Karen’s books and we’ve listened to all of the podcasts. They’re great - interesting, informative, and entertaining!

So enjoyable and informative!
I love Matt and Karen! They are funny, they enjoy each other and never squabble, and I feel like I’m sitting around listening to friends chat with me when I listen to this podcast. I’ve learned lots about many NP’s, especially the parks in the West. They do an extremely thorough job in reviewing a park, including hikes or activities to do, places to stay, food, and tips for the visit. These two are my favorite podcast to listen to these days—give them a try and I bet you’ll feel like you found two new friends!

Great podcast!
Love the podcast, I love the every week podcast. Keep up the great work! We went to Vegas and went to all the parks you all talked about in episode number 14. We also went to another area called Mount Charleston which had some awesome hikes. When we got there it was 64° at 7 AM and 74° at noon in Vegas that day it was 108°. We went on three hikes that day and they were all awesome. Love the podcast.

Fantastic and fun
A friend recommended this podcast to me at the start of the new year. I’ve since listened to the first 25 podcasts and have really enjoyed them. Matt and Karen are fun and enthusiastic about their trips and they have a great sense of humor and easy-going relationship that I really like. I am glad I still have so many episodes to listen to before I “catch up.”

Helpful and Funny
Matt and Karen invite us into their world by sharing their experiences visiting so many places that you can’t help but add many of their recommendations to your bucket list. I love how they poke fun at each other and laugh during the podcast, and how their personalities shine through. I feel like they are my friends now after having listened to about 30 of the episodes. Looking forward to listening through all of them, and reading their books!

Inspired to make travel dreams happen thanks to your podcast!
I never expected to be one of those people who walks around with AirPods in, listening to podcasts, but since discovering your podcasts, I am doing this. My wife and I just retired (early sixties) and have planned to up our camping/travel game (spent 1st week of retirement in the Everglades camping, hiking, biking, kayaking), but our large hobby farm with animals is demanding of regular attention. Listening to your travel escapades has me searching for ideas as to how to manage more travel time. I just ordered your first book, too. Love laughing out loud while listening to your podcasts. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

Fun and Informative
This podcast has been very helpful as we plan for our next three week National Park Road trip from Ohio to Washington state and back. It also brings back memories of another trip we took in 2019. Thanks for all the great information!

Love the outdoors
I eagerly await each new podcast. Great to learn about parks I hope to travel to, hear reminders of wonderful places I have been lucky enough to see and dream about parks that I might never get to. I love the great outdoors.

I stumbled upon this show when driving home from a camping trip. I now have a goal to visit all of the National Parks (with Alaska being last... Especially after hearing of the float plane incident..lol!)
