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.

Turn Left at the Cactus Podcast
also hosts two different “segments” in addition to the interviews with locals in our community:

  ahead. 

[The views expressed by our guests may not always be our own. Nevertheless, we are open to all views
