Hannibal Rivertown Review S3E5 Inspired By Our New ”Mellow” Friends

After some time away, we got an invitation to guest on another podcast, which made us realize that it had been way too long since we had sat down at Megan's kitchen table to expound about our favorite town. We cover our new "mellow" friends, another season of river cruise ships and catch you up on what's new with us.
