Andrews Socials:

Hello there! Welcome to the first Hospitality.FM Original - The Vacation Rental Micro-School podcast, hosted by Wil Slickers who is the founder of Hospitality.FM and host of two industry famous podcasts in the hospitality industry. Here's what you can expect from this show in this first season.

We do publish and create this podcast by seasons. That means you'll only get around 20 episodes per season (give or take) and then we will take a break to start producing the next season. You can expect to hear episodes everyday (Mon-Fri) that are no longer than 10-12 minutes long and featuring industry experts on specific topics and areas of expertise, how sweet is that?

In this first season, we're covering the 101 or basics of vacation rentals, hosting, how to get started, things to know, and so much more.

Season One, Episode One launching in January 2023!
