Sometimes, you can’t travel. Budgets and life do occasionally get in the way of that. When that happens, you can live vicariously through the travel of others. This week I’m going to give you three of the best travel podcasts to listen to. These are the ones that I listen to when I’m not traveling.
Extra Pack of Peanuts with Travis Sherry
Travis Sherry’s podcast is consistently one of the top rated podcast on iTunes. Each week is different. Sometimes he has interviews with fellow digital nomads who’ve found a way to travel as their work. Sometimes he and his wife Heather count down “best” lists; best coffee joints, best hotels. Other weeks, he’ll focus on a particular destination like Georgia and give detailed information. The tone is very conversational and Travis is fun to listen to.
Zero to Travel podcast with Jason Moore
It’s not surprising that Jason Moore competes with the Extra Pack of Peanuts for top spot on the iTunes travel podcast list. Frequently one of them is #1 and the other is #2. Jason is a fellow digital nomad. His podcast tends to feature more interviews with other nomads, like recent interviews with a river rafting guide Juniper Rose and alternative education specialist Blake Boles. It’s not unusual for Jason’s podcast to feature Travis and vice versa, since these real life friends also collaborate on a third podcast together, Location Indie.
Condé Nast Traveler Travelogue
This podcast brings together travel writers and editors each week to talk in depth about destinations. Each one brings experience as someone who travels for work and writes about it. This ensemble cast of seasoned travelers has great chemistry together.
For me, those are the best travel podcasts. Each of these podcasts is in “long form.” That is to say, each one lasts 30 minutes to an hour. Perfect for listening to on a jog or commute.
