ABOUT OUR PODCAST
Turn Left at the Cactus is a locally operated podcast in San Felipe, Baja, Mexico. 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 of tying ourselves to a specific production schedule. We “drop” episodes 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. If you want to really make us smile and show us you really love the show(s) please feel free to drop us a “propina” at: https://ko-fi.com turnleftatthecactus. MOST IMPORTANTLY, however, please share us with your friends!
If your business or organization would like to become a sponsor of an episode, please message us or email us: [email protected]. You provide your own promotional material, or, we can do it for you. Our in-house "jingle creator genius," Tricia Sikes, can even work with you on your very own advertising jingle! Either way, we will make sure your message gets out there. There is only one caveat to this offer. Any sponsorships we accept must be from businesses or organizations with whom we have had good
personal relations and whose services we can vouch for.
