    Just not that good
    The hosts are retired left wingers from NY. Intellectually and emotionally fragile to anything and any idea outside of their left wing bubble. They have on people who seem to echo their political ideals. Not surprising. The questions they asks could be and should be better, about cost of living specifics, and many other topics. They read from Wikipedia on the place in question to open the show. Wikipedia is a joke; another left wing, and therefore inaccurate, cesspool. They could get the information they need in less than half the time, they just aren’t very good interviewers. Stop injecting your left wing opinions into the show and do better.

    Amazing Podcast
    I retired in 2021 and moved overseas immediately. Looking to move again and this podcast is now my very favorite, the calm smooth way this podcast is presented, I feel like the hosts are my good friends at this point, they are so good ar bringing out the details from each guest. Kudos Gil and Gene, you are helping a lot of people make big decisions in their lives. Gotta go back now and keep going through their library until I catch up on all the episodes. Love this podcast!

    Ads make the show painful to listen to
    Ads make the show painful to listen to. I don’t mind ads, but these start playing suddenly and they’re high energy - like someone suddenly shouting at you. It’s jarring.

    Informative and entertaining
    I really like this podcast. I’ve learned a lot. The wife and I intend to live overseas at some point in our future . I wish they had some episodes about people who relocated to the UK.

    I love this podcast:)
    I found this podcast a week ago. My husband and I are looking at relocating after 44 years in Kentucky and this has been so so helpful! Thank you both for being so entertaining and all the wonderful conversations with locals from those areas:) I love your Brooklyn accents!

    Love this couple!!!
    The podcasts are so interesting and I love Gil and Gene!! They are so down to earth and are totally engaged with their guests! I hope they keep this podcast going even after thy choose their retirement destination! Thank you G & G for so many hours of education and entertainment!!
  • Rosieque
    Engaging!
    My favorite podcast, lthough we’re not necessarily planning to move, ( never know!) I love hearing the details on how decisions are made, the costs, plus adjusting to a new community. So much fun listening. The interviewing style is respectful, relaxed and the right questions are asked. I’d be interested to know what the difference in expenses are overall from where the retirees have moved from.

    The perfect escape & educational!
    I’ve been enjoying Retire There for about a year now. I love the episodes on affordable areas the most! It’s so helpful to hear why the guests chose the areas they did and their experience acclimating there. I often wonder how the guests who left the US deal with leaving friends and family and would love some more questions on how they navigate that - this is my biggest concern in taking the plunge. I look forward to more episodes!

    Good variety of places.
  • HeleninRI
    Wonderful podcast!
    This is my favorite podcast! So much variety in the locations chosen for each episode! Each episode is full of valuable information and you get a great sense of what it’s like living in each place! Keep up the great work!
  • Dr.Trixie
    Fantastic podcast!
    Great podcast, so much information and the hosts Gil a d Gene have an easy comfortable way of asking probing questions to get real answers without being abrasive. Thank you for delivering this delightful gem! Saving the newest podcast for reference for the future

    I Wanted to Like This
    We live in the EU. I have never heard so many uninformed people speaking about managing their lives in the EU. They hired professionals and then try to speak like experts. Most sound like they despise the United States (yet continue to own US rental properties). Their privilege is transparently obvious. Most egregious of all, is the lack of specific information and spurious claims provided during the course of the conversation. The interviews ramble on about nothing and when they finally get to “something” it is either generalized or makes no sense. I really wanted to like this.
  • klo review
    Really enjoy this podcast
    I’ve only listened to 6 of the episodes and I am going to go through all of them I enjoy them so much. The hosts are not intrusive in their questions and let the guests speak freely. I like hearing about new places to retire, especially the international destinations. The only thing I would like more of is the housing costs, either rental amounts or purchase. Saying the cost of living is low is one thing but hearing what rents actually are is another. I found this podcast by accident but so glad I did. Good work
  • karen Og
    Vicarious travel!
    Love this podcast. It really gives you an intimate look into different places and people’s experiences choosing where to retire. Very inspiring and the hosts are fun to listen to. Great show! Update: I’m still enjoying this and appreciate the excellent content every week. I live in Brooklyn too and am in the same stage of life as the hosts, so it is very relevant and I’m getting a lot of great ideas. Thank you Gil and Gene!

    Nyc!
    I love this couple and their perspective!! I’m a queens gal at heart currently in the burbs of Hudson valley. You e definitely given me something to think about! Love the friendly flowing and informative conversation!
  • bidenrocks!
    Love the podcast!
    Absolutely love the podcast and am gaining lots of valuable info. Would have given 5 stars but wish you would interrupt the guests less and let them talk without interjections! The program is about them and that’s why i listen. Otherwise terrific guests and interviews.
  • EastDally
    One of my FAVORITE podcasts!
    My husband and I are in our upper 40’s and officially empty-nesters. We have been considering retiring overseas over the next several years. The podcast I always go for first when I’m heading out for a run? THIS ONE! This podcast is so well done and very relatable. It is full of amazing information for those considering moving abroad. Keep up the great work, guys!
  • Kim5409
    Entertaining, informative, inspirational
    I love this podcast!! Gil and Gene are so smart, sweet, and fun! I love the data/ information shared and easy conversational style. You guys ask the questions I want to ask! Thank you so much for the amazing podcast and sharing the journey with all of us!

    Dreaming of Retirement!
    This is a fun and informative podcast. I love the way Gil and Gene interact and interview their guests. They are doing such a good job it makes me want to visit all of these places! I enjoy the long format and the tangents. I find their conversational style enjoyable, and like I am in the room with them. Keep it up! You are doing a fabulous job with this podcast!
  • 1stinFlight
    Just get to the point already!
    This is a great idea for a podcast but it is poorly executed. It take forever for the hosts/guests to get to the point. They will literally spend half the show talking about things that have nothing to do with the target country. This feels like listening to your grandparents talk to another set of grandparents on a public bus.
  • Jolynne Smyth
    Great podcast!
    So informative - and the low-key, curious, and thoughtful hosts being out fascinating insights from the diverse guests.
  • Meng Min
    My favorite podcast
    So much valuable information you simply can’t find anywhere else. The interviews cover a lot of topics and are extremely helpful for retirees, who are interested in relocating.

    Excellent Content
    I am a podcast enthusiast and have scoured the depths of Apple Podcasts for interesting content related to travel, financial literacy, philosophy, comedy, etc. Although I am not quite at retirement age or phase yet, this podcast has been such a nice addition to the queue. Gil and Gene are informed, funny, charming, naturally inquisitive, and they allow their guests the space to fully answer. This is really a travel podcast in retirement’s clothing. Keep up the great work! And I wonder where Gil and Gene will end up retiring to?
  • GodivaSwan
    Real experiences, great resource
    I just love this podcast because it is such a natural conversation between interesting people. You really get a sense of what it’s like to live in different places. I am learning quite a bit about what style of retirement I am interested in having and where. The overall theme is attitude, if you are positive- so will be your experiences. Research is important and this podcast is very helpful. I hope more retirees who have moved share their stories.
  • emzie
    Just what I needed!!
    This is exactly what I’ve been looking for!! I think about where to land after retirement all the time and this podcast is a great way to learn about different locations to consider. Keep it up!
  • murph's mama
    Fun and informative!
    I have learned so much from this podcast! Fun and informative whether you are about to retire or not. Asks the questions you may not have thought of. Can’t wait for the next episode😊.
  • Oakland Rising
    Awesome fun podcast!
    Love hearing all the places people decided to retire. I’ve been thinking for years on where I want to go, and you guys are really helping me go through the process! Here’s to the great years coming up
  • Ruffdog113
    Great podcast!!
    I love this show!! I haven’t been able to travel much his year, so hearing about these destinations really ignite my imagination! Highly recommended!
  • mikel55
    A must listen for future retirees!
    Great to listen to all sorts of real people talk about their needs and wants as they move into the best phase of their lives. Gil and Gene entertainingly ask about very helpful and important topics such as land taxes, proximities to food, shopping, airports, and healthcare. Especially interesting for me, a NYC native and dweller, to listen to other NYC natives explore their possible future move. Regardless of where you come from, this is great retirement move research!

    Retiring elsewhere
    I Love Retiring There! Retiring health professions librarian in Brooklyn here. Retiring in 2021. Preparing to move toPanama by end of 2022.Am developing a series of podcasts about seeking international work/employment for women over sixty for “selfish reasons.” Would love to connect to discuss how you produced the podcasts.
  • SweetBK
    Lots of practical information!
    I am 6 years away from retiring and so glad I found this podcast! Lots of information you can’t find in U.S. World News or Money magazine. The hardest decision now is where to retire..
  • BigNouna21
    Fun and Informative
    Gil and Gene are excellent hosts. They have brought to us interesting guests with varied perspectives on where to retire. As someone who is 5 years away from retiring and looking to get out of NYC I have found these talks helpful. Please find someone from Delaware this is high on my list. 👍🏻👍🏻
  • DocYoGi
    Retirement must-listen
    Genial hosts, good guests, excellent information to help you decide where and what to look for in your retirement destination
  • Llama mama in Pink pajamas
    Fun and informative
    Loved listening to this podcast. Gil and Gene are funny and cute. They make you feel like an old friend while they interview really interesting people around the country on places to retire and how they got there. You’ll get insights to places to retire where you may not have ever considered!
