  • Moving on from the Great Lakes, @lifeonsweetday ventures into the vast river system of the central US.

Great Show

Love these guys hope to meet them one day. Podcast is short concise and funny. Stick around for the bloopers at the end. Can’t say enough good things about this podcast.

You asked for reviews, you’re gonna get one…

Where do I begin? For as long as I’ve listened I’ve always wondered what these mythical “insta-webs” are, is it a new app that I don’t know of? Hopefully someday we’ll be able to follow you two on there… I do love how there’s always an obscure movie reference, guaranteed to be a cult classic! Which brings me to my next point, when’s the next movie night!?! We’re no longer in a global pandemic, there are no longer unprecedented times! In conclusion, show is always great! News stories always end up hysterical somehow. Bloopers are great, just the right amount of off key trumpet. An ever growing list of super interesting local voices and stories. Always a well thought out interview with compelling questions.

Great Episode and podcast

I loved the opportunity to hear about a local legend continuing her restoration right down the coast in CT! Can’t wait to see Coronet in the future as she sails up the Narragansett bay!

The Review

So these guys just talk about sailing and boat stuff, that in itself is worth hours of listening, but it’s even better because not only is Carter and Tyler’s banter informative, it also is humorous! Their interviews are well structured and extract good information while keeping an ease with their guests, you can tell that it’s a pleasure to be on their show. They also find interesting and enjoyable news stories to editorialize. Be sure to binge their whole podcast, you’ll be glad that you did, and then look forward to each new release, it’s always a good day when there’s a new ATB to listen too! Keep up the good work!
