Join Anne & Kelli for their 220th NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast! On the Road from Casablanca, Morocco!

In the fifth episode of Season 5 they start by talking about podcasting from their hotel room at The Four Seasons in Casablanca, Morocco! It’s a dry hotel so they just went to a café for a bottle of rose pre show and stopped off at the ocean front McDonald’s for a quick fry and to make a Tik Tok! Stay tuned for that!

First, they update you on the past two weeks on Kelli’s River cruise trip through the Netherlands and the additional challenges that arose and how they had to pivot and adjust along the way including insane weather changes, a blown engine, Anne taking a fall, and so much more. In the end, they reflect on how much the entire experience brought the group together even better and it ended up being a wonderful time with family and old and new friends.

Next, they talk about their journey to London for Anne’s concert that began with a train trip from Amsterdam to London, along with dragging their massive bags across ‘the gap’ on to the train, a lovely First Class train experience, a stay at the gorgeous new Broadwick Soho Hotel, Anne’s wildly successful show at Crazy Coqs and finally a big after party out at the London bars with good friends.

Lastly, they talk about their few days in Morocco. They spent 2 days touring with a fabulous tour company called Inclusive Morocco. They had a private driver for 2 days that took them to the capitol city of Rabat for the day and to tour Casablanca the next day. They loved every second of this beautiful place. Now they will board an Atlas Ocean Voyages cruise for 3 weeks through Spain and France because Anne is headlining on the ship. So stay tuned for that!

Finally, they do their new segment called “Neat or On the Rocks”. This is where they each pick a positive (neat) and a negative (on the rocks) thing that has happened to each of them since the last episode. They did not discuss their answers until they are recording the episode so you will hear their reactions live to tape! They also ask that YOU write them with your picks for “Neat or On the Rocks” or any other ideas you may have for new topics for discussion!

Don’t forget to check out all of Anne’s upcoming tour dates including Chicago on May 31st and June 1st at Davenports. You can find all of her tour dates at www.annesteele.com

Join Anne & Kelli for their 216th NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast! They are back!

After an almost 2 year break from podcasting, they are back! The last episode aired in June of 2022 when their lives were suddenly busy and full of travel and touring again. They knew that they had to take a break but they hoped it would just be a pause and not a permanent end. That is what happened. 

Along with Romaine from DNR Studios, they have come up with a new format. They are taking you on the road with them. Whether they are on a cruise ship, at one of Anne's concert tour cities, on a mega yacht, or in a hotel room YOU will be with them. It will be more focused on their lives and less guest focused, however that doesn't mean that when they meet up with interesting people along the way that they won't pop into a podcast here and there. They will again be working with their fabulous producer AJ at DNR Studios so that you will get the same quality you have come to expect from #ilovemywife podcast.  They will air a NEW epiosde twice a month so about every 2 weeks or so. Some will be short and some will be long depending on how much has happened. This one is long because they had so much to tell you!

In this epiosde they catch you up on what has been happening for them the last 2 years including officially becoming empty nesters, getting adjusted to their new home in Jersey City, Kelli rebranding her travel company R Family Vacations to KelliGreggTravel and all the exciting trips that have hosted and have to come, Anne's tour schedule and the cool events she has done over the past 2 years, plus just fun travel and concerts they have shared together.

They are so glad to be back with you! Make sure to follow them on social media to stay connected and to find out when the new episodes will drop! As always you can stream on DNR Studios or you can listen anywhere you get your podcasts.
