"Espresso, Expeditions & Alligators"

Welcome to the HILL OF BEANS PODCAST

Hosted by Ezra Hill & Casey Lucas with special guest, Sara Janisse Brown

What happens when you move to Florida, fall in love with strong coffee, and realize your neighbors have scales and teeth?

Welcome to Espresso, Expeditions & Alligators — the podcast where hosts Ezra Hill & Casey Lucas share what it’s really like to trade snow boots for flip-flops, caffeine jitters for gator scares, and the ordinary for the totally unpredictable.

This show blends:
Espresso – from Cuban cortaditos in Miami to dark roast rituals around the world
Expeditions – travel tales from swamps to cities, featuring weird encounters and wild detours
Alligators – and other Florida wildlife that now roam your backyard (literally)

Each week, you’ll hear funny, fearless, sometimes ridiculous stories about moving to Florida, exploring the world, and staying caffeinated through it all. Whether you're into coffee, creature encounters, or just need a break from the ordinary — this show’s for you.

It’s Florida life, with extra bite.
