“As a native, listening to a bunch of non natives giving opinions and incorrect information is unbearable. The narrators voice is as well, unbearable. So much potential unrecognized here.”

“Much potential. I revisit this pod every road trip and while I like the topics - execution and production leaves a lot to be desired.”

“I grew up in Phoenix and long since moved away. These little snippets feel like coming home and remind me of what a wonderful and unique place we have in the Valley of the Sun. Keep up the great work!”

“... I say every time I listen to this podcast. So many of us in the valley we not born here. This podcast is like having a nice chat with a knowledgeable native over a cup of coffee. I can’t get enough.”

“Great concept. Arizona has an interesting history, and many of its residents did not grow up here.
However, the execution of this show is awful. The narrators sound like seventh graders reading from a script. They also, obviously, know very little about the history of the state. Sometimes the...”Read full review »

“I listen to very one. The best ones discuss the history of the area. Be forewarned tough, some shows especially the latest Covid one, have a lot of politics in them.”

“All of the episodes I have listened to so far have been great and a very pleasant and much needed break from the COVID-19 news saturation. I am a transplant and have enjoyed learning some local history presented in way that rivals the best podcast documentaries I’ve heard. Thank you!!!!”

“I have thoroughly enjoyed this podcast from the beginning. As a 30+ year resident of the valley I have learned some new things and have also enjoyed revisiting topics from “back in the day”... The variety of topics, from serious to silly, are informative and entertaining. Love it!”

“Love learning more about the valley but I have to listen to this at 1 1/2 speed. There are too many idk “sound bites”. I get that they’re trying to paint a picture but when talking about the opening of the deck park tunnel I think hearing the sounds of an old timer horn, fire works and people...”Read full review »

“I like the idea of this podcast, but I’m offended that they didn’t mention how detrimental wood burning and burning of yard debris and garbage (and incredibly common practice in Phoenix) greatly contributes to particle pollution in the winter.
Just seems irresponsible to not mention one of the...”Read full review »

“It’s difficult to clearly hear and understand anyone speaking who is not the host. And the background music is often too loud while someone is talking — and I’m young with good hearing! Content is great.”

“As a transplant, I quickly discovered that I knew little about Phoenix and Arizona. But after listening to Valley 101, I know more than many lifelong residents. The Indian School episode stands out in my memory, but they're all good, keep up the great work.”Read full review »

“I love this podcast, I’m always telling people about the recycling one and like learning more about how AZ came together. The music is distracting/too loud sometimes, but they added captions to a video once after I yelled at them on twitter so I forgive them ❤️”

“I really enjoyed the recycling episode. I think this topic can really be expanded upon with a follow up episode that perhaps talks about how the city is planning to improve our recycling process, educate people etc. I have subscribed and will continue to listen weekly.”

“When I first heard there was going to be a phoenix-focused podcast produced by Gannett/azcentral/AZ Republic, I didn’t have much hope given their overall track record. But after listening to episode 1, I’m in. The team did a great job creating a show that’s not just interview based but also tells...”Read full review »
