Travel Podcast the World – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Put your feet up, grab a glass of wine and listen to great travel stories and suggestions, and you have the ethos of Beach Travel Wine podcast, brought to you by Leanne and Lyle McCabe.   https://www.beachtravelwine.com/   It's a fun, casual and lighthearted podcast aimed at beach-loving, wine-drinking couples over 50, although as we chat about today, their travel advice is perfectly relevant to anyone. They spent much of the past year in Spain, and it holds a special place in both their hearts and their series of episodes. Learn about all kinds of fascinating corners of the country, from Marbella to Asturias, Valencia to Oviedo. And of course Barcelona and Madrid.   The podcast was inspired in part by a dearth of information in audio form about different parts of Spain, beyond the regular tourist routes, as well as an opening to speak to their demographic. It's a common theme on this show, where we've met travel podcasters filling voids and creating the shows that they want to listen to.   But Beach Travel Wine is not exclusively Spanish-focused, indeed their initial episodes start off in Paris and London. The new year should see them spending quality time in Mexico, working on their Spanish, as well as exploring more sights around Australia and New Zealand. And who knows what else! The spontaneity is part of the adventure.   In our conversation today we share some excellent advice on taking action, just getting started and not letting technical hurdles get in the way. We talk about the importance of regular promotion, and to not hesitate to regularly post reminders of your show, because the algorithms mean not everyone will see it right away anyway.   And we dive into some real travel, with Ted's upcoming family adventure to Spain and Portugal front and centre. So it's not just podcasting advice today but good travel tips too!     Action Advice   5:15 - Choosing a good name for their show. 8:02 - Another example of filling a void and creating the show you want to listen to. 9:05 - Not making any big plans for the podcast, basically just sitting down and starting! 9:53 - On making it as easy as possible, and not getting overwhelmed by thoughts of expensive equipment or complicated setup. 12:39 - How researching for the podcast has in turn enhanced the experience of travel itself. Having a platform to share what you've learned. 10:12 - Where are travellers hanging out and most likely to come across your show. 19:42 - The routine for putting show notes and photos together, and then repurposing material for other platforms. Giving your audience more options. 21:02 - We chat about promotion and how often you should post clips and reminders of your episodes, and your show in general. How much is too much? 25:52 - The value of having your own dedicated podcast website and URL. You can control more factors like SEO keywords and search terms.       Travel Podcast the World   https://www.travelpodcasttheworld.com https://twitter.com/TedFlyTed https://www.instagram.com/travel_podcast_theworld/   Submit Your Podcast form  Suggest a Podcast form     Guest Links   https://www.beachtravelwine.com/   https://www.instagram.com/beachtravelwine/     References   Amateur Traveller podcast   When in Spain podcast   Where Next? podcast     People   James Hammond, Winging It podcast   Journey With Jake podcast     Places   Sunshine Coast, Queensland   Madrid, Spain

It's vicarious travel at its best with Art & Julie Dobrucki, hosts of "The Places Where We Go" podcast which, as per the title, brings you along on their journeys through Europe and the United States.   https://www.theplaceswherewego.com/   Their story has been an evolution from only fairly recently beginning to travel in earnest to exploring the options of documenting their experiences: first creating little daily video journals for their own records, then blogging, followed by podcasting and YouTube videos now too. It's another great example of video complementing audio, and vice-versa.   The foundation of the show is great research and detail, in essence repurposing the work and preparation that went into planning the trip in the first place by then describing how it unfolded, and having lots of practical info at their fingertips.   In this, it is a podcast made for DIY travel: independent travellers who enjoy the planning and research process, piecing together a unique and individual trip and keeping space for spontaneity and adaptation. And they are happily inspired by other travellers to help them build their trips, to then pass that info and experience on to their own listeners.   Highlights include exploring destinations in Wales, England and Ireland, particularly off-the-beaten-path villages and parks that have a particular draw. We also visit Rome, Florence, Venice and Ferrara as part of their Italian trip, and more recently a mini-series on multiple cities in western Poland, where they trace some family lineage.   When not in Europe, Julie & Art are exploring the national parks of the United States, switching to RV travel in their Airstream trailer. This includes Montana, Northern California, the stunning parks of Utah and more. They take us to Alaska, hopping off their cruise to make it all the way up to Denali National Park.   As for motivation, in our conversation today we chat about how surviving a major health scare put life and travel in perspective, and led to them embracing opportunities and adventures. It's a valuable reminder for all of us to live life to the fullest.     Action Advice   9:45 - On filling a void in podcasting by creating one themselves. 11:50 - On getting used to the audio format, and learning to not over-prepare. 13:38 - Using podcast narration to add to video clips for YouTube. 19:19 - Don't worry about talking about an older trip on your podcast. Just get the information up to date, the stories are still relevant! 21:50 - On enjoying the moment and summarizing your travels when you get home. 24:25 - Art & Julie's remarkable consistency, and the decision that allowed them to achieve that. 28:28 - Learning the remote recording process and format, and how to get it all set up. 35:10 - How do they know how many episodes to do for each destination?     Travel Podcast the World   https://www.travelpodcasttheworld.com https://twitter.com/TedFlyTed https://www.instagram.com/travel_podcast_theworld/ Submit Your Podcast form  Suggest a Podcast form     Guest Links   The Places Where We Go website   on YouTube   on Twitter   on Instagram     References   Episode 78: The start of the Poland mini-series   Episode 55: Playing an organ in Helena, Montana   Episode 10: Denver NHL Bucket List trip     People   RV Miles podcast   The RV Atlas podcast     Places   Poland   Helena, MT

It's been a busy month here on my end, selling our house and moving 400 km away, lining up travel plans for the fall and getting some more great travel-themed podcasts ready to profile.   This is a quick summer update episode for you, in advance of some new episodes coming your way in August, 2022.   I wanted to keep you abridged of my latest news and plans, and also let you know about my new travel podcast suggestion form!   If you're a podcaster who would like your travel-themed show profiled here, use the form "Submit Your Podcast" through the link below, or on the podcast website, https://www.travelpodcasttheworld.com.   If you're a podcast listener (or of course maybe a podcaster too!), and know of a travel-themed podcast that you'd like me to profile, use the "Suggest a Podcast" form (also in the show notes and website) to point me their way. It's possible they may be on my list already, but there's a lot of stuff out there, and it's always great to have a direct reference or suggestion.   You don't need the permission of the podcast, or have to know the hosts.

Jeremy Lux founded Illumine Collect in 2017 to raise money for nonprofits with an emphasis on community building and outdoor lifestyle.   To illuminate the stories behind the amazing people creating these organizations, the Life in Motion podcast was launched a year later.   Life in Motion Podcast   The two concepts really go hand in hand: the podcast to promote the concept and the many diverse causes out there, and Illumine to help raise funding for them, through the creation of custom-made apparel, such as tshirts and hoodies.   Along the way, Life in Motion has helped uncover all kinds of incredible stories and achievements, beyond even those of the nonprofits. Jeremy has interviewed over 100 people from around the world, each of whom have, in their own way, overcome personal challenges and obstacles, notched impressive achievements such as hiking the Appalachian Trail or rowing across the Atlantic, discovered meaning and purpose, and contributed to or often even created communities of their own.   Travel and, in particular, outdoor activities are a central theme to each conversation. Jeremy's guests are rock climbers, kayakers, cyclists of all types, people who embrace camping, hiking and just the general spirt and energy of being outdoors. This is a podcast you can take with you on your next adventure! Download a few episodes to your phone and away you go.   You can support Illumine and its activities by visiting their website, https://illuminecollect.com/, and checking out the apparel there. It typically changes every month as new partners take their turn, and there are lots of fun and witty selections.   We also chat about getting our kids involved in travels and adventures, and giving them the exposure to the outdoors from a young age. Many of Jeremy's guests juggle their adventurous lifestyle with home schooling, and making sure their kids are front and centre to the experience.   Life in Motion is full of positive people living bold, meaningful lives, a great podcast with an inspiring purpose.     Travel Podcast the World   https://www.travelpodcasttheworld.com https://twitter.com/TedFlyTed https://www.instagram.com/travel_podcast_theworld/     Action Advice   9:21 - On choosing audio versus video for his project. 11:07- Don't let perfection stand in your way, just start recording! 11:49 - Figuring out at the beginning the right frequency for publication of episodes. 12:12 - Deciding to switch to a weekly production schedule. 14:04 - Expanding to a team to produce the podcast, from editing to finding and scheduling guests, especially when the production rate doubles. 14:51 - On how even after 4 years, we continue to improve our process and efficiency in producing a podcast. 16:48 - Jeremy's marketing and promotion strategy, including the schedule for advertizing new episodes. 25:24 - How changing to a weekly format led to a noticeable uptick in traffic.     Guest Links   Life in Motion Podcast   Illumine Collect apparel   Illumine Collect on Twitter   on Facebook   on Instagram   Episode: Drop Everything and Go, Selling your house and car to live a life on the road   Episode: Got Your Six Coffee   Episode: A chat with professional baseball player Rolston Cash in Venezuela (1st episode)     Places   Springfield, Missouri   Ottawa River, Canada

Learn Spanish and Go takes you on travels through the world's Spanish speaking regions and countries (with a goal of eventually visiting each and every one), to help you improve your conversational Spanish and make the most of your experience.   https://spanishandgo.com/podcast   Hosts Jim y May, who have each learned a 2nd language as adults, are your guides, giving you the opportunity to learn a language the best way possible: through immersion.   Learn Spanish and Go episodes have joint Spanish/English titles, and English descriptions, but the audio itself is entirely in Spanish. Your challenge is to recognize certain words, and to look for those cues that help point you towards the subject of a conversation.   You'll often realize that you may know more words than you expected, likely because it's simply the pronunciation that is different. Before long, more and more connections are made and your Spanish will be getting stronger and more comfortable.   To help with the process, there is also the option of purchasing a Podcast Membership, with transcriptions (including interactive transcripts), English explanations, a comprehension quiz and a private Facebook group. Thus you are supporting the podcast, and fast-tracking your learning even more. It's a great business model for podcasters, while equally being of tremendous value for listeners.   Learn Spanish and Go is about as far from dry verb and grammar charts as you can imagine. One of the most enjoyable features of the podcast is the fact that there is so much emphasis on travel topics, from country profiles to understanding various dishes and ingredients, to transport and music. Because you'll likely have an interest in what the conversation is about, you'll be paying much closer attention and will enjoy learning the information just as much as learning the language at the same time.   The show is in turn a reflection on learning languages, especially as an adult. It's usually ourselves who get in the way, not anything chemical or biological. We're afraid to make mistakes or to look or sound foolish. It's human nature. But, as Jim and May say, "Failures are lessons to help you remember the correct way to do it the next time."   So focus on the conversations: listening to and understanding how people converse on a normal, everyday basis. Start connecting the vocabulary that you know. Take it a step at a time, and as soon as you can, hop on down to México, Guatemala, Ecuador or any of their neighbours and put your Spanish to good use!     Travel Podcast the World   https://www.travelpodcasttheworld.com https://twitter.com/TedFlyTed https://www.instagram.com/travel_podcast_theworld/     Action Advice   21:27 - Examples of different premium packages that listeners can purchase to support their language learning, and the podcast.   26:47 - The workflow for creating and producing an episode, and premium content, from start to finish.   30:19 - How analytics show you the engagement of podcast listeners, who generally listen to close to 100% of an episode. Sometimes it's even more than 100%! Which is far better than your typical video engagement.   31:30 - How there can be two podcasts on a very similar niche or topic, yet approach it completely different, and therefore nicely complement each other (Ray Blakney's Live Lingua podcast and Jim y May's Learn Spanish and Go)     Guest Links   Learn Spanish and Go   Spanish and Go Membership   YouTube   Twitter   Instagram   Ecuador episode   Las posalas Mexican Christmas parties episode   The origins of Piñatas episode   Guanajuato episode     References   Madrigal's Magic Key to Spanish   italki   Sonix.ai     People   Ray Blakney Live Lingua     Places   Rochester, Minnesota   Ecuador   Guanajuato   Mexico City

Meet Esteban Solano, a Mexican living in Québec, Canada, and the host of the Solano Travel Podcast. Esteban is an artist, musician, comedian and chef who, since 2020, has also been a podcaster.   He launched Solano Travel to share the stories of his adventures through places like Greece, Hungary, Montenegro and Turkey, from wild nights to dodging passport controls.   https://www.solanotraveler.com/    It has evolved into a platform to introduce people to his native Mexico, and encourage them to really see and explore the country, to buy local and get off the beaten path. Esteban points out there is European-style cultural and linguistic diversity, yet all within one country.   Simultaneously however, Esteban found he had an audience in Mexico following him and his adventures, and wanting more advice about travel options and destinations.   Hence a "2-in-1" style podcast, which caters to both Spanish speaking and English speaking audiences, by alternating episodes in each language.   There's a bit of something for everyone, whether it's improv comedy, understanding Mexican cuisine, Salsa dancing (in Québec no less), snapshots of places around the world from Italy to Melbourne to Israel, all with a joyful, lighthearted spirit.   Solano Travel is coming into two years of steady growth and creativity, so follow along with Esteban and his photographer partner Anna as they develop more exciting projects and ideas over the coming months.     Travel Podcast the World   https://www.travelpodcasttheworld.com https://twitter.com/TedFlyTed https://www.instagram.com/travel_podcast_theworld/   Action Advice   7:55 - Interacting with listeners one-on-one, especially when you're starting out and small.   8:43 - Do a bit of research into the people who leave you a comment, retweet etc., see what they do and are interested in, and if you can offer them any specific help in that area.   11:14 - What is Esteban's mindset in doing a bilingual podcast.   16:53 - Remember to offer solutions, don't just point out faults.   27:15 - A travel prep tip: before arriving in a country, buy a history book and a language book.   Guest Links   Solano Travel Podcast   on Instagram   on Twitter   Episode "I was Smuggled into Greece from Albania!"   Episode "Do Yourself a Favour and Remote Work in Mexico."   Places   Tasco    Mexico City   Montreal

Founded in 2016, The Earful Tower profiles all things Paris: culinary secrets, famous and lesser-known attractions, neighbourhood identities, family life, daily life, fashion insights, photography ideas: and that's just scratching the surface.   https://theearfultower.com/    Host Oliver Gee delivers all of this in an entertaining, witty, informative and engaging manner, either through solo episodes exploring around town, often featuring his wife Lina as co-host, or through guests as diverse as comedians, politicians, tour guides and supermodels.   If you have a curiosity for Paris, an aspiration to go, a longing to return and ultimately, the desire for it to be a part of your life, The Earful Tower is here for your playlist.   Oliver has built the show to over 2 million downloads, 300+ episodes, recognition from podcast awards and the NY Times and, most impressively, a full time production company that creates not just regular weekly episodes, but premium Patreon content, regular Instagram photos, blog posts, a weekly newsletter, a YouTube channel, a digital travel guide and three published books.   It is a model for any travel podcaster, established or aspiring, to look to, to see how it's done and how to make your subject, whether it's a destination or a concept, the star of the show.   Oliver has learned how the underlying theme and purpose of the podcast will filter through with each guest. A baker may talk not just about their pastries and baking techniques, but then a favourite bench to go enjoy it while watching the sunset over the Seine. A musician may mention their favourite bar or outdoor stage while talking about a performance they did.   No matter the topic or guest, "You're gonna get a lot of Paris out of every episode."     Travel Podcast the World   https://www.travelpodcasttheworld.com https://twitter.com/TedFlyTed     Action Advice   8:57 - The amazing serendipity of repurposing: how people can discover you and your brand without even necessarily listening to the podcast.   10:34 - How to multi-purpose content effectively, between platforms and mediums.   11:15- Why you don't need to "tease" your loyal, dedicated listeners. Show them what they'll get, and they'll go listen to it, because they want the podcast experience.   14:09 - The theme of your podcast will shine through by letting your guests relate back to it in their own words.   20:26 - Being direct about your Patreon offers, what's included and why it's important for the show. People who love your show are looking for ways to support you.   21:34 - Focus on putting good, quality, useful and fun offers out there.   23:42 - The benefits of your premium content could outweigh the cost of not buying it, whether saving people time or money.   24:44 - On making the most of opportunities, in the moment, especially when you're unprepared!   26:10 - How the right balance of background environment and engaging content can create a magical ambience.   27:29 - Equipment recommendations for field recording, including Oliver's advice on smartphones.   29:00 - Allow the low barrier/cost of entry to podcasting to allow you to simply start, and focus on creating something entertaining, interesting and informative (Oliver's triangle of content creation).   32:09 - Don't let the bear get away!   32:59 - How to reassure yourself that a destination/theme like Paris is truly a bottomless source of topics and episodes.   33:38 - Why Oliver's experiment with doing a season of episodes that took place outside of Paris, profiling a long road trip, was not received as expected. The "ongoing journey" without knowing if there is an ending can be a little off-putting.     Guest Links   The Earful Tower   on Instagram   on Twitter   on Youtube   Books: Paris on Air, memoir Roger the Liger in Paris, children's book Kylie the Crocodile in Paris 2022 Paris Guide     References   Zoom H1 recorder     Places   Paris

"My life has been so much better thanks to the people I've met. 500 new people that I would never have known."   Randell Carlton Green's podcast, Any Given Runway, introduces listeners to fascinating people from around the globe, guided by the message: "Everyone has a story, each person a scholar."   https://anygivenrunway.com/    When travelling, or travelling vicariously through a podcast, the best way to connect with people is to talk about their interests. Randell embraces this, starting by asking himself, "What do I know nothing about?"   It helps to be insatiably curious when you're a podcast host.   Indeed, Randell could probably interview the same person half a dozen times and uncover different topics in each conversation. But, Any Given Runway is a show about diversity, whether it's in people, places, topics, ideas or especially, perspectives.   The podcast is a delightful mix of athletes, artists, adventurers, authors, performers, and everyday people who may not fit into a single box or category. He has chatted with MMA fighters, mountain climbers, DJ's, freedivers, digital entrepreneurs, vocalists, ballet dancers, contortionists, skeleton athletes, solo travellers, soldiers and comedians. And that is very much just scratching the surface.   A quick flick through his list of episodes, the guests and their activities, will leave you with the tricky yet exciting choice of where to start.   Randell and I chat about the valuable life lessons learned, especially over the past couple years, and seeing how they are applied: How he has so much more motivation now to pursue goals and projects. How he has a greater appreciation for accountability, especially to yourself. Learning about resilience, and how so many of his guests have overcome odds and pushed through obstacles. The most common answer to, "What have you learned over the past two years?" - Jettison that negative energy. It's not worth your time, and life's too short. Any Given Runway is a textbook example of how interviewing and focused conversation is one of the great pathways to learning and personal growth.   We chat a bit about Randell's volunteer travels to Poland, and his upcoming one to the Romania/Ukraine border, volunteering for World Central Kitchens. Organizations such as Workaway help people find places to volunteer, and at varying lengths and types of work.   With underlying themes of travel, adventure, self-growth and resilience, Any Given Runway provides a platform for telling your story, and embracing knowledge and discovery.   ---- Travel Podcast the World is happy to support "A Roof for Jorge" project, fundraising to build a new roof for an indigenous family in Panajachel, Guatemala. It is the initiative of Nelia Hutt, host of Giving Starts With You podcast, and an early guest on this show (Episode 5, March 1, 2022).   Nelia met Jorge and his family on her trip to Guatemala, which she talks about in our episode together, and has maintained contact with them. They are in dire need of a new roof for their house, costing approximately $1800 USD.

When life, distance and a pandemic had been keeping two great friends apart for too long, what did they decide to do about it?   Start a new travel podcast! Wanderlusting Wives, a means to escape to exotic, exciting destinations, indulge in travel dreams and fantasies, and discover new corners of the world to add to your list.   https://anchor.fm/wanderlusting-wives    Co-hosts Allison Endres and Regan Todd join us on this episode of Travel Podcast the World to chat about how they decided on doing a podcast together, how quickly they jumped in to get started, and what the adventure has been like so far.   They both have deep roots in travel, coming from family vacations and road trips when they were young, and have since added extensive overseas trips to more domestic explorations, giving their listeners a nice balance.   To this end, their episodes are a combination of their own personal experiences, inspiration from special guests, and discussions about travel themes such as methods of transport and the importance of exposing kids to travel.   As the world opens up again and people get back out there, feeling more confident to dream and plan adventures, their podcast will evolve and expand from reminiscences to sharing the new experiences that will come from future trips.   Wanderlusting Wives is a great example of keeping the dream alive, using podcasting to allow your passions to persevere, and of just diving in to get started. Like travel itself, podcasting is a journey with all sorts of surprising twists and turns.   ---- Travel Podcast the World is happy to support "A Roof for Jorge" project, fundraising to build a new roof for an indigenous family in Panajachel, Guatemala.

Few things are more relatable than driving, and virtually all of us can recount a driving story or two, whether a close call, a short cut that turned into a wild detour, maybe a hitchhiking experience or a breakdown in the middle of nowhere.   Any one of which would make for great podcast material, and fortunately there is a podcast that does exactly that.   Drive With Us Podcast features both professional drivers and everyday folks sharing their driving stories and adventures, whether travelling, driving for work or even just commuting daily.   Hosts Bhavneet and Taranjit encourage their guests to uncover the details, set the stage and tell a good story, making for great entertainment but also some real food for thought, as you become much more conscious of your own driving and being perceptive and defensive when behind the wheel.   The best part is, YOU can be on the show too!
