Summary
On our geocaching podcast today, we have a retro-rewind-relisten-resurrection show where we share some GEMS from prior shows. This time, we go back to show 600 in 2017 and a very special interview where you’ll hear from the guy who was responsible for “flipping the blue switch” on May 2, 2000. We also have feedback on GSAK and a Mac, the new GeoGuessr Challenge and surprise souvenir and much more.
