    What It's Like to Visit Every National Park in America

    If you’re lucky, you’ve gotten to experience some of the natural beauty found across America’s 63 National Parks, home to places like Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and Acadia, Maine. But few people have got to see as much of them as guest Emily Pennington, a regular Condé Nast Traveler contributor and author of Feral: Losing Myself and Finding My Way in America’s National Parks. Emily chats with Lale about surrendering herself to the wilderness, witnessing the Northern Lights first hand, and the profound impact Alaska had on her. Plus we hear from listeners about their own National Park adventures.

    What Chelsea Handler Learned From Her 90-Stop U.S. Tour

    What Chelsea Handler Learned From Her 90-Stop U.S. Tour

    Travel is inherently absurd, amusing, chaotic, messy, embarrassing, and deeply nuanced. And sometimes, we go to places with built in prejudices that we haven't previously confronted—and hopefully overturn them in the process. Who better, then, to dive into a conversation about all of this than Chelsea Handler? The comedian, television host, and best selling author chats with Lale about wrapping up her 'Vaccinated and Horny Tour' across the U.S., rediscovering her hometown of Los Angeles, her eternal fear of snakes, and more.

    Exploring European Cities On Foot

    Exploring European Cities On Foot

    We’re re-airing this episode which was first published 10/6/2022.
    Lale talks to two of her favorite authors about two cities that she’s most connected with—Rebecca Meade about London and Elif Batuman on Istanbul—and asks the question: What do you learn about a city by walking around it instead of driving through it? "You want to knit yourself into the fabric of a place and see your story knitted into it," says Meade. Plus, listeners contribute their own walking stories about Budapest, Dubrovnik, and Malta—all solo travelers who had unforgettable experiences thanks to the decision to explore a new place by foot.

    Telling the Stories of Indigenous Australia Through Dance

She explains the power of dance as a tool for healing—and shares stories of Indigenous Australia.

    A Brazilian Journalist on Life in the Amazon

    The Amazon lives in our imaginations, in literature, and throughout swathes of travel writing. But what is it like to live there? Lale chats with journalist Eliane Brum who's built a house from recycled wood in Altamira, a town on the northern fringes of the Amazon, to find out more—and to learn about her new book, Banzeiro Òkòtó: The Amazon as the Center of the World. Plus, Condé Nast Traveler editor Megan Spurrell tells us about a life-changing trip to an equally spectacular yet vulnerable place: Antarctica.
