When did you start your website and why?
November 2006. I didn't find any other Podcast about Costa Rica that was done regularly. While others I found where really promotional podcasts put out by companies selling Costa Rica real estate they weren't even run by ticos (Costa Rican). As a Costa Rican, I thought I could provide an entertaining and informational podcast about Costa Rica.
