Great idea, looking forward to listening in, but am I missing something? Is there a "Subscribe to Podcast" button I'm just not able to find?

We are waiting for iTunes to accept the feed. Once that is up, you'll see a very clear link to it.

Like your new show, the different opinions, you all have good friendly rapport.

Well-done show. I don't travel nearly enough, and I am looking for something to help me "get out of the house." For me, learning how to control costs while getting overseas is something that makes me nervous, and I hope to learn from your show about just how in the world you get around so much.

A suggestion: Because you have multiple men in conversation, remember to say your own names and some biographical information periodically throughout the show, so we can learn your voices. I kept forgetting who I was listening to.
