Jackie and Jon make plans to visit Rockford, Illinois to meet a resident named Nelson.  They admire a traditional Japanese garden, appreciate a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and remind everyone that there is “no crying in baseball”.

Hosts Jackie Reilly and Jon Schaller are the world’s most comfortable explorers (self proclaimed).  They present to you a podcast where they travel the world using the power of a computer and remain relaxed with the power of a couch.  Blankets, tea, slippers, and throw pillows are all things you might find in their cozy nook, where they surf the web exploring far off lands.  They never know what they will see next, but they know they will feel cozy!
