What do you get when you mix the unpredictable weather of Florida, a podcast convention, and a couple of golf enthusiasts? Join us as we recount our whirlwind adventure at Podfest 2025, where we mingled with podcasters from all walks of life, thanks to Buzzsprout's generous creator tickets. From insightful sessions on monetization to quirky custom keychains, our experience was a melting pot of creativity and learning. Amidst the hustle and bustle, we found time to hit the golf course, embracing both the sunshine and the storms.

Next, we whisk you away to the historic city of Spokane, Washington. As we wander through its rich past—from its trading post origins to hosting the World's Fair—we can't help but chuckle over our festive debates on holiday movies. Is "Die Hard" truly a Christmas film? Our spirited banter not only brings these discussions to life but also offers a glimpse into our personal holiday traditions, all while navigating the complexities of podcasting across multiple time zones.

Lastly, saddle up for some cycling escapades as we extend an invitation to upcoming events with the Cycling Men of Leisure team. Our tales of TSA encounters and quirky bike transportation mishaps promise plenty of laughs. Plus, Franklin joins us for a collaboration that uncovers the hidden gems of stopover towns, complete with local brews and spirits. Whether it's discussing the finer points of moonshine versus whiskey or reminiscing about past adventures, our camaraderie shines through, promising an engaging and entertaining listen.
