Listener Reviews

Thoroughly enjoying Mat's tales of life in the Hudson Valley. Each episode is perfectly bite-sized...packed with relevant facts AND humorous stories!

I grew up in the Hudson Valley, moved to Manhattan (were I still reside), and now have a house upstate too. I’m not sure if that makes me a cidiot or not but Mat & Brian ddddefinately are 😂. Mat’s dry humor is the perfect foil for upstate reality. I hope you enjoy listening to their adventures as much as the sheep next door enjoying watching them (unlike the chickens, who complain constantly).

Mat and Brian have become dear friends as my fiancé and I have learned to navigate the Hudson Valley and it was our driveway they got stuck in one snowy night! The Mini was perpendicular in the driveway, it was impressive and a weirdly wonderful way to bond with these two great guys.

Big fans of Mat and Brian and longing to own a place out of Manhattan one day I love listening to cidiot as a little escape.

Four years ago, my husband and I decided we needed a change in our lives. We bought a house in the country, and made it our home. We still have roots in the city, but we've learned so much about country living. This is Mat Zucker's attempt to distill our advice for you. I'm slightly biased, but he's done a great job. Want to know how to pick a town for a new home? Curious about how we made friends? Subscribe and Mat will tell you, along with some funny stories about entering into a new community, and making new lives for ourselves.
