This podcast is produced by Calyn Whedbee and co-hosted together with Tricia Sikes. We dropped our first podcast in the summer of 2022. And, honestly, given the demographic we are working with, we had absolutely no idea whether any of it would fly. And, honestly, we still don’t know.  To our amusement and surprise, however, our listening base is growing --“poco a poco.”    The primary focus of Turn Left is discovering what foreign nationals, living and working here--full or part time--find so attractive about the area; why they moved here; and what they think is deserving of more attention. However, we don't always stick to the script, so virtually anything is possible. We drop episodes as often as we can interview people and get them into postproduction.  Given that we are retired, and that this is -- to use the cliché: a labor of love.  AND, given that life in SF tends to pull all of us in lots of different directions, we have opted out trying to stick to a specific production schedule. We “drop” when we can. If , however, you join the group on Facebook you’ll always be the first to get a notification of the latest episode. Turn Left at the Cactus Podcast also hosts two different “segments” in addition to the interviews with locals in our community: Forks in the Road—A deeper dive into organizations, businesses, events, happenings in and around San Felipe. Cactus Connection—A bi-weekly, quick review of what’s on the San Felipe flow-chart for the next couple of weeks ahead.  [The views expressed by our guests may not always be our own. Nevertheless, we are open to all views for the simple reason that all views are what ultimately make up our community.] If you are loving learning more about the many voices that help create the San Felipe community, please subscribe to our podcast and give us a LIKE on Spotify, Apple or your favorite podcast host.
