Deep Dive On: The Piña Colada Song
Yes, we know: there hasn't been an interview. The file is lost somewhere in the ether of Will's internet but that won't stop us from prattling on for further time about the wonders of the Escape/Piña Colada song for 45 minutes. In a fun, giggly, lovely little chitter chatter the two besties catch up and dissect the Piña Colada song...

Customer Reviews
Funny, charming, and informative
I first came across Laura Lexx several years ago when she went viral for handling a heckler at a show. I started listening to her other podcast with her brother Ron-Lexx Education. Have since decided to try out National Treasure though I don’t live in the UK. I am now catching up and everything I missed. I love this podcast. Laura and Will are funny and charming. They’re the kind of people you want to hang out with. And I really enjoy all the historical sites and information. I took an English history course in college and some things they talk about remind me of it. Having listened to Lexx Education first and then coming to Treasures pod it almost feels like Laura is cheating on Ron lol. But since Treasures pod came first she’s actually cheating on Will. Love love love it! Thanks for another great poscast!.
So good, so funny.
Not only is this podcast a great option to get excited about future travel when you are stuck at home, but it is also very funny! I laughed a lot listening to the first episode.
If you have ever traveled with will this is also a little nostalgic because his quick quips are tied to some of my best laughs while traveling, and this podcast keeps them coming.
