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 [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1YCmunzR24TD9-7fXEBURmyMMWEvnW9EHbzJxfoMx2HM/edit?usp=sharing] form  Suggest a Podcast [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1g_-b4VYjxr3TOSRLpazT2Kkeq0ZIbIuB6tkushyErSU/edit?usp=sharing] form     Guest Links   https://www.beachtravelwine.com/   https://www.instagram.com/beachtravelwine/     References   Amateur Traveller podcast [https://amateurtraveler.com/]   When in Spain podcast [http://wheninspain.blubrry.net/]   Where Next? podcast [https://wherenextpodcast.buzzsprout.com/]     People  

Beach Travel Wine: A Travel Podcast for the Great Things in Life

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.     Travel Podcast the World   https://www.travelpodcasttheworld.com https://twitter.com/TedFlyTed https://www.instagram.com/travel_podcast_theworld/ Submit Your Podcast [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1YCmunzR24TD9-7fXEBURmyMMWEvnW9EHbzJxfoMx2HM/edit?usp=sharing] form  Suggest a Podcast [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1g_-b4VYjxr3TOSRLpazT2Kkeq0ZIbIuB6tkushyErSU/edit?usp=sharing] form     Guest Links   The Places Where We Go [https://www.theplaceswherewego.com/] website   on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe3Abvnx-MU1w7BPw9l9FEw]   on Twitter [https://twitter.com/theplaceswhere1]   on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/theplaceswherewego/]     References   Episode 78: The start of the Poland mini-series [https://theplaceswherewego.podbean.com/e/what-to-do-in-szczecin-poland/]   Episode 55: Playing an organ in Helena, Montana [https://theplaceswherewego.podbean.com/e/helena-montana/]   Episode 10: Denver NHL Bucket List trip [https://theplaceswherewego.podbean.com/e/denver-nhl-bucket-list-trip/]     People   RV Miles podcast [https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9ydm1pbGVzLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL2ZlZWQv]   The RV Atlas podcast [https://thervatlas.com/]     Places   Poland [https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Poland/@51.8751199,14.6464137,6z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x47009964a4640bbb:0x97573ca49cc55ea!8m2!3d51.919438!4d19.145136?hl=en]  

The Places Where We Go podcast: Rich Detail for DIY Travel

India Chalo: Breathtaking India in a Podcast Experience

When we travel, and come home from a great trip, what are the moments that stand out?   Journey with Jake is a travel podcast that explores the "why" behind travel - why people want to travel, and what it means to them.   To do this, Jake interviews fellow travellers, everyday inspiring people who have often done some amazing things, like motorcycling across Asia or participating in a 2700 mile bike race, or who may also just have a great travel story to tell, from their recent cruise or their family cottage in upstate New York.   It's all about places they've been, and experiences they've had that have meaning to them.   And it's not always the "big" things, it could be the little things too, moments in time that stick out in our minds. Memories triggered by certain scents or sounds. Human connections that can put everything into context, creating a fond reminder and bringing a smile to your face.   Jake and I talk about the craft of letting good conversation unfold, when to interrupt, and when to just listen. We recognize how fortunate we are in not being limited by strict time-frames, such as with radio, but having the option to run a bit longer and uncover a bit more from our guests.   Since he launched the show, nearly a year ago, Jake has quickly progressed from biweekly to weekly episodes, and seen his focus evolve from talking about destinations to talking about experiences, and not just places.   Thus the hikers, hunters, whitewater rafters, mountain bikers and even van lifers, all of whom have been interesting people with meaningful experiences to share.   The podcast is a great complement to your travels, and an opportunity to share your own stories. Reach out to Jake if you want to be a guest and contribute!     Action Advice   5:54 - How much time per week it takes Jake to prepare an episode. 8:44 - On setting out with objectives, and creating an initial list of 25 possible episode ideas to help you get organized. 9:40 - Letting guests tell their story, without having to stick to a strict timeframe. 12:01 - Leading people through their first podcast guest experience, and settling into the role of "host." 16:20 - Lean on referrals, especially from former guests, to make other connections. 20:55 - The importance of being a guest yourself, and relating to that experience when you're then hosting your own show. 22:14 - Putting yourself out there, telling your own story and allowing your audience to connect with you. Even if it feels a little vulnerable.     Travel Podcast the World   https://www.travelpodcasttheworld.com https://twitter.com/TedFlyTed https://www.instagram.com/travel_podcast_theworld/ Submit Your Podcast [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1YCmunzR24TD9-7fXEBURmyMMWEvnW9EHbzJxfoMx2HM/edit?usp=sharing] form  Suggest a Podcast [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1g_-b4VYjxr3TOSRLpazT2Kkeq0ZIbIuB6tkushyErSU/edit?usp=sharing] form     Guest Links   Journey with Jake website [https://journeywithjake.net/] Journey with Jake on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/journeywithjakepodcast/]   Highlighted episodes:

Journey With Jake podcast: The ”Why” of Travel

Portia Jones is a freelance travel writer and host of the Travel Goals Podcast, which combines interviews with travel experts & insiders with on-location destination profiles, all done with fantastic audio quality.   Travel Goals Podcast [https://pipandthecity.com/travel-goals-podcast/]   If you have ever wanted to learn what it takes to plan and record audio while travelling, this episode will get you started.   And although yes, Portia and her producer/husband Luke do have some pretty slick equipment to get the job done, that does't mean that's the only way to do it.   In our conversation today, we have a great discussion on the strengths of audio, and how to make yours shine, with just a bit of planning and preparation.   When Portia interviews people in destinations like Peru and Saint Lucia, she has largely set up those contacts in advance. When they record street sounds and background audio, they make sure to get lots of versions so that there's as good a chance as possible of capturing something that works.   And where's the best place to edit and prepare your on-location episode? Likely back in your home studio or office, but Portia recommends, whatever you do, to get in the moment and immerse yourself in the creation, to really get in the zone.   Travel Goals strives to set the standard for what audio, and travel audio in particular, can be. The opportunities abound, indeed how many people have told her, "I never would have thought of talking about our destination through the medium of audio!"   Travel Podcast the World   https://www.travelpodcasttheworld.com https://twitter.com/TedFlyTed https://www.instagram.com/travel_podcast_theworld/ Submit Your Podcast [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1YCmunzR24TD9-7fXEBURmyMMWEvnW9EHbzJxfoMx2HM/edit?usp=sharing] form  Suggest a Podcast [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1g_-b4VYjxr3TOSRLpazT2Kkeq0ZIbIuB6tkushyErSU/edit?usp=sharing] form     Guest Links   Travel Goals Podcast [https://pipandthecity.com/travel-goals-podcast/]   Pip in the City [https://pipandthecity.com/]   Episode: "Why Peru should be on your travel bucket list for adventure, culture and food" [https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly90cmF2ZWxnb2Fsc3BvZGNhc3QubGlic3luLmNvbS9yc3M/episode/ZmMwOTdkNjQtNmJmMy00ZWFkLWEyYzgtNWI0MzliYmVhMTJm?sa=X&ved=0CA0QkfYCahcKEwiQv__s6_z6AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAQ]   Episode: "Why you must visit the charming Black & White Villages of Herefordshire in England" [https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly90cmF2ZWxnb2Fsc3BvZGNhc3QubGlic3luLmNvbS9yc3M/episode/NTQyYzA1Y2YtZjhjZS00N2JhLWFkYzEtMTVkZTJhYjllZmVj?sa=X&ved=0CA0QkfYCahcKEwiQv__s6_z6AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAQ]   Episode: "Sacred places, pilgrimages and how spiritual tourism became a new travel trend" [https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly90cmF2ZWxnb2Fsc3BvZGNhc3QubGlic3luLmNvbS9yc3M/episode/ZTA3NTQ1NzItOGQwMS00MmE5LTk5MzEtNjZjZWNiNzcxNWYz?sa=X&ved=0CA0QkfYCahcKEwiQv__s6_z6AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAQ]     References   Zoom H6 portable recorder [https://zoomcorp.com/en/us/handheld-recorders/handheld-recorders/h6-audio-recorder/]   Big Travel Pod [https://thebigtravelpodcast.com/]     People   Luke Jones, South Girl Production Music https://southgirlproductionmusic.com/     Places   Wales [https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Wales,+UK/@52.4017066,-5.2808858,8z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x486434b66c1c0fed:0x1ebb71bc8aa5e8a2!8m2!3d52.1306607!4d-3.7837117!16zL20vMGo1Zzk?hl=en]   Herefordshire, UK [https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Herefordshire,+UK/@52.1097353,-3.3141643,10z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x486fd425aa3fe7a7:0x767c1094a3729716!8m2!3d52.0765164!4d-2.6544182!16zL20vMDIzcWtm?hl=en]  

Travel Goals Podcast: The Wonder of Immersive Audio Experiences

It's June of 2020, the world is in lockdown and travel seems out of the question. You've never started a podcast before, and your co-host is someone you barely know. What on Earth will you talk about, and how will it go?   Fast forward two + years later: 87 episodes recorded, a burgeoning friendship, lots of fun episodes about your own backyard, interviews with guests from around the world, and, at last, proper overseas adventures to share, and we can call the Travel Mug Podcast a success story.   Travel Mug Podcast [https://travelmugpodcast.com/]   Hosts Jenn & Meggan join Ted today to chat about their show, which combines destination guides with seasonal-themed episodes, short travel-tip extras, fun conversation and great inspiration. And with a healthy dose of gourmet coffee to keep it humming. Travel Mug Podcast evolved from Jenn's travel blog, branching out into the audio format to get into more depth and detail. Having met each other through travel blogging, Meggan and Jenn decided to see if there would be chemistry as co-hosts and were pleasantly surprised, along with their audience, to find a natural fit.   Like many of the travel-themed podcasts we've profiled so far on this show, Travel Mug was born out of the pandemic, when podcasting offered one of the few connections to the world of travel and adventure. As travel now returns, these podcasts are well-placed to build on their foundations of dozens of episodes of experience, and keep developing dynamic content and deeper connections with their audience.   Action Advice   6:08 - Taking action, starting the podcast despite the odds and circumstances at the time. 9:45 - Is it worth revisiting places profiled during the pandemic, to reflect changes and newer information. 11:10 - Turning a travel blog into a podcast. 12:03 - The decision to host the podcast together. 16:28 - Promotion strategies, especially Instagram. 17:10 - Growing and planning the show, two years in, with an eye to future episodes. 20:04 - Choosing a name for a podcast. 24:50 - Reporting on a place as a first or second time visitor, not as someone with a long-term perspective. The context that gives the listener. 27:35 - The challenges of recording on the road, whether regular episodes or getting local sounds. 32:37 - Reflecting on sustainability in travel, and ethical travel.     Travel Podcast the World   https://www.travelpodcasttheworld.com https://twitter.com/TedFlyTed https://www.instagram.com/travel_podcast_theworld/ Submit Your Podcast [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1YCmunzR24TD9-7fXEBURmyMMWEvnW9EHbzJxfoMx2HM/edit?usp=sharing] form  Suggest a Podcast [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1g_-b4VYjxr3TOSRLpazT2Kkeq0ZIbIuB6tkushyErSU/edit?usp=sharing] form     Guest Links   Travel Mug Podcast [https://travelmugpodcast.com/]   Travel Mug on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/travelmugpodcast/]   Episode: What to do in Summer in Nova Scotia [https://travelmugpodcast.com/summer-in-nova-scotia-what-to-do-see/]   Episode: Beginner's Guide to Toronto [https://travelmugpodcast.com/a-beginners-guide-to-toronto/]   Episode: Solo Travelling & Owning an AirBnB [https://travelmugpodcast.com/solo-travel-owning-an-airbnb/]     References   The Cat ferry, Yarmouth to Bar Harbor [https://www.ferries.ca/thecat/overview/]   Sissiboo coffee roaster, Bear River, NS [https://sissiboocoffee.com/]     Places   Nova Scotia [https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Nova+Scotia/@45.3153176,-64.7569006,7z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x4b591298de18cf45:0x102581ef8cf0940!8m2!3d44.6922613!4d-62.6571885?hl=en]  

Travel Mug Podcast: Embracing the Unknown

It's been an eventful three weeks on my end, and a long time coming: hitting the road again for a proper road trip, in this case to Canada's Maritime provinces: New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia.   It was also a first ever proper family trip for my wife and I, a couple vacations to Cuban resorts notwithstanding, but we finally had the chance to be real travellers and bring our kids (4 & 6 years old) on a good adventure.   Canada's east coast is within a day's drive of where we live, in Québec, and an inviting destination with lots to learn and discover. We knew the September weather would be (mostly) beautiful, prices would be a bit better and crowds would be smaller. We didn't expect to be hit by a hurricane, but we rode that out too. You'll hear all about it in today's episode.   I was also in pursuit of a particular theme: exploring Acadia, and the history of French settlement in what are now English provinces but which started off, in the European age, as very much French. 150 years of French colonization though ended with the Acadian diaspora, le Grand dérangement, where Acadians throughout present-day NB, PEI and NS were kicked off their land by the British and sent to virtually all corners of the Earth. Some trickled back in the decades that followed, and rebuilt their society through fierce independence and pride, surrounded by a sea of English.   There are pockets of Acadia throughout the Maritimes, and our trip ended up touching on most of them. It's given me some great ideas and inspiration for a podcast mini-series on travel to Canada's east coast, a mix of history and modern travel planning, and something that I'll be putting together over the coming weeks. Today's episode is a preview of what's to come.   But of course, I also learned about travel podcasting while travelling, something we've certainly talked about a lot on this show, but which I have a much better appreciation for now. It takes a lot of planning and logistics, perseverance and commitment, and often that can get in the way of a family vacation or daily sightseeing.   Most travel podcasters take their notes and observations, then record and put it together when they get back home. That's what I'll be doing, and there is a lot less stress for sure. But we'll continue on this show to pursue understanding how to capture that live feel and ambience while you're out there, if at all possible, and to try to add some dynamic soundscapes to your travel podcast. There's lots of potential to let your creativity take flight.     Travel Podcast the World   https://www.travelpodcasttheworld.com https://twitter.com/TedFlyTed https://www.instagram.com/travel_podcast_theworld/ Submit Your Podcast [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1YCmunzR24TD9-7fXEBURmyMMWEvnW9EHbzJxfoMx2HM/edit?usp=sharing] form  Suggest a Podcast [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1g_-b4VYjxr3TOSRLpazT2Kkeq0ZIbIuB6tkushyErSU/edit?usp=sharing] form     Places   Alma, New Brunswick [https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Alma,+NB/@45.4419941,-64.9873842,9.78z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x4ca75e57fa79fb19:0xab84a8609ff88737!8m2!3d45.6038301!4d-64.9413872?hl=en]   Maximeville, Prince Edward Island [https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Maximeville,+PE+C0B+2E0/@46.4319431,-64.1433898,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x4ca07eb033c3a047:0x2761436c933b28ac!8m2!3d46.4319416!4d-64.1346431?hl=en]   Chèticamp, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia [https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Ch%C3%A9ticamp,+NS/@46.6242046,-61.0298983,14z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x4b6716981d6d0a03:0xd797e2868949eb9c!8m2!3d46.6249202!4d-61.0148048?hl=en]  

My Maritime Podcast Preview or, What I learned About Podcasting While Travelling

London is a destination with endless sights and attractions, history and stories wherever you look, and hidden treasures connected to people around the globe.   Here to make sense of it all is the London Visited podcast, and host Steve Atkins-Linnell.   londonvisited.co.uk [https://londonvisited.co.uk/]   Inspired by his own efforts to figure out the city and have it make sense for travellers, Steve started with a YouTube channel [https://www.youtube.com/c/LondonVisited/featured], documenting famous highlights and helping viewers create their own itineraries.   This then expanded into a podcast [http://londonvisited.libsyn.com/], to tell the stories behind places like the Tower of London, the Tube or Trafalgar Square. It is the podcast that delves into fascinating history, trivia and tidbits, giving us context to the things we’re seeing, or that we didn’t expect to see.   Listening to London Visited is like going on a virtual tour of the city, especially when Steve creates mini-series following along famous walks, traversing bridges or popping into museums.   If you’ve been to London, Visited will bring back fond memories and leave you appreciative of the sights you’ve seen. If you’re planning a trip, you have a tremendous guide pointing you the way to a satisfying, money-saving adventure.   Action Advice   4:00 - Reflecting on the power of feedback on podcasts in particular. How does Steve interact with his listeners? 6:55 - How podcasting adds the in-depth background & deep-dive to a YouTube channel. 11:40 - Getting across the info on how to save money and plan a smart, enjoyable trip to a place like London. 15:03 - Meeting listeners & viewers in person, and connecting with them via a monthly live stream on YouTube. 18:10 - On reading from a script, yet sounding as natural as possible. 19:11 - How to create your own custom-made database on the podcast website with your episodes, so listeners can easily search, find and cross-reference episodes. 21:30 - Planning and organizing episodes & information for an engrossing subject like London. 23:50 - How long it takes Steve to put an episode together. 30:00 - Steve talks about his voiceover work, which is an intriguing opportunity for podcasters. 33:18 - How AI has not taken over the voiceover industry, when people want the human connection.     Travel Podcast the World   https://www.travelpodcasttheworld.com https://twitter.com/TedFlyTed https://www.instagram.com/travel_podcast_theworld/ Submit Your Podcast [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1YCmunzR24TD9-7fXEBURmyMMWEvnW9EHbzJxfoMx2HM/edit?usp=sharing] form  Suggest a Podcast [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1g_-b4VYjxr3TOSRLpazT2Kkeq0ZIbIuB6tkushyErSU/edit?usp=sharing] form     Guest Links London Visited podcast [https://londonvisited.libsyn.com/] The A-Z of podcast episodes [https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/0c4a788a-c77f-4636-9cb2-410479f7e7ac/downloads/All%20London%20Visited%20Videos%20and%20Podcasts.docx?ver=1659361695795] YouTube channel [https://www.youtube.com/c/LondonVisited/featured] Choiceofvoice.co.uk [https://www.choiceofvoice.co.uk/]     Places   Bournemouth, England [https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Bournemouth,+UK/@50.7539831,-1.9297785,12z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x487398a0b1a067fd:0x3b2ee0156ba92c94!8m2!3d50.7220101!4d-1.8667169?hl=en] Essex, England [https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Essex,+UK/@51.7953777,0.0779984,9z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x47d85627fe870dd3:0x4257cb3847ee5079!8m2!3d51.5742447!4d0.4856781?hl=en] Cannon bollard in Southwark [https://www.google.ca/maps/@51.5080479,-0.0948404,3a,75y,354.43h,77.01t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sA2mt2r6Qt8TLOOE2U8Fqsw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en]

London Visited Podcast: Secrets and Stories on Every Corner

Today we take our first dedicated trip to India (in travel podcast form) with Saif Omar of The Musafir Stories, likely the first and certainly the longest-running podcast about travel in India.   Saif and his wife Faiza are both native to India: Bangalore, specifically, but having lived abroad for years, were keen to learn more about their own country, and decided to do so through starting a podcast.   That was over 5 years ago, and 135 episodes later they are going stronger than ever. Their secret is to allow their guests to share their own experiences, and all the insight therein on things to see and do, which means that Saif and Faiza are themselves travelling vicariously along with their listeners.   The show takes you not just to the well-known destinations like Mumbai, Kolkata or Goa, but in particular parts of India you may not be quite as familiar with, such as Coonoor, a hill town in Tamil Nadu, or Bundi, a quaint town in Rajasthan.   Explore history, cuisine, temples and festivals, listen to authors and bloggers, photographers and mountain climbers, accompanied by beautiful images, all sharing their insight into the many dynamic corners of India on this trailblazing podcast.   Action Advice   9:35 - On learning about your own country through your guests. 16:18 - Strategies for staying consistent, and not burning out. 17:34- The ongoing debate about adding numbers to podcast episode titles, and how The Musafir Stories was told to stop. 23:06 - The experience of moving to an established podcast network, and the opportunities to scale the show, greater marketing and cross-promotion. 26:50 - The pros and cons of joining a network. 32:26 - On finding great cover art for individual episodes. 33:26 - How the place or location is typically the protagonist for a travel episode, while the guest's role is to interpret it. 34:24 - Using Google Maps or similar to pin the locations of your episodes, with direct links therein to that episode.     Travel Podcast the World   https://www.travelpodcasttheworld.com https://twitter.com/TedFlyTed https://www.instagram.com/travel_podcast_theworld/ Submit Your Podcast [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1YCmunzR24TD9-7fXEBURmyMMWEvnW9EHbzJxfoMx2HM/edit?usp=sharing] form  Suggest a Podcast [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1g_-b4VYjxr3TOSRLpazT2Kkeq0ZIbIuB6tkushyErSU/edit?usp=sharing] form     Guest Links   The Musafir Stories [https://themusafirstories.com/] website   on Twitter [https://twitter.com/musafirstories] on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/musafirstoriespodcast/] on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/themusafirstories/]   The map of episodes [https://themusafirstories.com/musafir-stories-map/]   References   IVM podcast network [https://ivmpodcasts.com/]   "Postcards From Nowhere" podcast [https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdGF0aWMuYWRvcmlsYWJzLmNvbS9mZWVkL3Bvc3RjYXJkcy1mcm9tLW5vd2hlcmUueG1s]   Unsplash, for royalty-free images [https://unsplash.com/]     People   Vaibhav Dewan, episode about Darjeeling [https://themusafirstories.com/podcasts/darjeeling-with-vaibhav-dewan/]     Places   Bangalore, Karnataka [https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Bengaluru,+Karnataka,+India/@12.954517,77.3507282,10z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x3bae1670c9b44e6d:0xf8dfc3e8517e4fe0!8m2!3d12.9715987!4d77.5945627?hl=en]   Peninsular Gneiss, Rock formations in Bangalore [https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Peninsular+Gneiss/@12.9486759,77.5873506,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x3bae15c141740d2f:0x2b01a569464aebf6!8m2!3d12.9486707!4d77.5895393?hl=en]   "Seven Sisters" northeast states [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_India]  

The Musafir Stories: The Original India Travel Podcast

Yellow Van Travels follows the adventures of Meagan and Ben as they explore the United States and abroad with their two young daughters.   Yellow Van Travels podcast [http://yellowvantravels.com/category/podcast/]   Since 2018, listeners have shared in their discoveries of Boston and Nashville, Ireland and Italy, Greece and Paris, Washington, DC and New York City, cruising, Disneyland, Disneyworld and, most of all, plentiful National Parks.   Destination guide episodes give you an idea for what to expect and how to plan, especially with kids in tow, and their "tips" episodes interspersed in between offer more general advice and perspectives, whether it's on flying with a toddler, or prioritizing travel and personal budgeting.   Through it all, they give powerful inspiration to travel not just with your kids, but because of your kids.   It is an adjustment, especially when you're used to travelling solo or as a couple, but if you are parents, particularly of young kids, this episode will really encourage you to get out there and (keep) travelling.   Meagan was fortunate to travel through her childhood, while for Ben the spark was lit upon seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time, and realizing, "I can't miss seeing these things."   Many of us can relate to that moment where you recognize that travel is more than just an occasional activity, but indeed a deeper priority. Ben and Meagan built a podcast, blog and YouTube channel out of that moment, and they are here today to share their story with you.     Travel Podcast the World   https://www.travelpodcasttheworld.com https://twitter.com/TedFlyTed https://www.instagram.com/travel_podcast_theworld/ Submit Your Podcast [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1YCmunzR24TD9-7fXEBURmyMMWEvnW9EHbzJxfoMx2HM/edit?usp=sharing] form Suggest a Podcast [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1g_-b4VYjxr3TOSRLpazT2Kkeq0ZIbIuB6tkushyErSU/edit?usp=sharing] form     Action Advice   7:15 - The mindset of travelling with young kids, and embracing it. 12:35 - On giving your kids new perspectives through travelling. 12:52 - How they fit producing the podcast into their busy schedules of working, parenting and travelling. 16:59 - On combining adventure with stability for your kids, giving them a healthy balance. 18:57 - Having an outline to follow for your podcast, to really help save time editing afterwards. 20:17 - It's hard to control your guest's audio quality, but try to get them to at least be in a nice, quiet room. 21:23 - Their perspectives on doing audio vs. video creation and production. 25:11 - On watching your kids' enjoyment of travel, while you're travelling with them. 33:27 - How audio is a great counterpart to video, and how they can work in tandem.     Guest Links   Yellow Van Travels [http://yellowvantravels.com/] website Episode 74 with Vered: Family travel around the US [http://yellowvantravels.com/2021/05/episode-74-family-travel-interview-with-vered-from-baby-in-tune.html/] Episode 89: Changes to Yellow Van Travels [http://yellowvantravels.com/2022/06/episode-89-changes-to-yellow-van-travels.html/]     Places   Cuba [https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Cuba/@21.505376,-81.8067859,7z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x88cd49070f7a4cb5:0x798cf7529110a41a!8m2!3d21.521757!4d-77.781167?hl=en] Utah [https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Utah,+USA/@39.482451,-113.7900391,7z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x874c6bc78f13f9cd:0xbddf4aa56cd7463f!8m2!3d39.3209801!4d-111.0937311?hl=en] Grand Canyon [https://www.google.ca/maps/search/grand+canyon+/@36.0192969,-113.4035611,9z/data=!3m1!4b1?hl=en]
