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

    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

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

    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

    India Chalo: Breathtaking India in a Podcast Experience

    Dive into India and relive the memorable experiences of real travellers through the India Chalo podcast. Host Rohan Bansal connects with guests from his home base of Delhi, engaging in inspiring conversations on exotic destinations. You've likely heard of Goa, Sikkim or Jaipur, but Rohan and his guests will also introduce you to new discoveries, in distant corners: Chitkul in Himachal Pradesh, deep in the heart of the Himalaya, or Vizag in tropical Andhra Pradesh.   https://www.indiachalo.in/     There's lots of great info for planning a trip around India: detailed itineraries, attractions and activities. Each episode arrives however with an emphasis on experiences, of what it's like to be trekking through the mountains or navigating through a busy local market.   The India podcasting scene itself is a topic of discussion too, as Rohan points out there have not been a lot of Indian creators publishing consistently, yet. This encompasses all niches and topics, but travel is no exception. India Chalo and The Musafir Stories (Travel Podcast the World Ep. 20) are part of a growing wave of made-in-India travel podcasts, promoting travel in India to both a foreign and domestic audience. When you consider that with well over a billion people, a middle class of roughly 25% of the population suggests a domestic market alone of roughly 350 million people. Many are only starting to really explore their own country.   This gives India Chalo an interesting perspective as a podcast: it speaks to a domestic audience, but is equally applicable to the foreign traveller. Indeed, Rohan is always searching for non-Indian travellers to share their stories of journeying around the country, so if you fit that description, do consider getting in touch. But if you want to feel like a savvy traveller to India, and can imagine yourself navigating the train stations and chowks with ease, you'll be right at home listening to India Chalo.     Action Advice   11:57 - Could podcasting be the next big thing in travel content, after blogging?   17:59 - On the pressure to publish every week, and often compromising on quality as a result.   21:03 - Have your guests share their own photos via your Instagram, and record their own clips talking about being on the show. Great for engagement and promotion.   30:04 - Giving yourself permission to tell your own stories and allow the audience to get to know you. It's easy to forget that they don't know what you know, or what you've done/where you've been.       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   India Chalo podcast   India Chalo on Instagram   India Chalo on Twitter   Ladakh episode    Sikkim episode     Places   Chitkul   Lakshadweep   Pondicherry   Visakhapatnam (Vizag)

    Journey With Jake podcast: The ”Why” of Travel

    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 form  Suggest a Podcast form     Guest Links   Journey with Jake website Journey with Jake on Instagram   Highlighted episodes: #30, Overcoming Kidney Failure #21, The Canadian Rocky Mountains #11, Motorcycling Across Asia #5, Hunting & Podcasting   People   James Hammond, Winging It podcast     Places   Utah Las Vegas

    Travel Goals Podcast: The Wonder of Immersive Audio Experiences

    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   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!"     Action Advice   6:55 - Adapting your content plans to circumstances, and running with it. 8:10 - Telling stories in audio, dropping listeners into an environment and capturing those sounds. 8:52 - Equipment suggestions for recording in the field. 9:47 - How long it takes to put a destination episode together, complete with a library of clips and options. How to get in the zone and focus. 11:55 - The mindset towards capturing high-quality audio, yet knowing it may not be perfect. 14:30 - How do locals feel about being on a podcast. 15:26 - Being approchable, yet clear about what you need and what people you interview can expect. Reminding them where they can find the episode once it's published. 16:50 - Dropping listeners right into a destination so they can get a sense of what it's really like. 17:32 - Always consider the listener's experience, especially when doing a detailed, complex episode. Put the time in to make it as good as you can. 22:25 - On being realistic about your time, and consider having fewer episodes that have higher quality. 24:38 - Listening to other podcasts helps you pick out things you can add to your own. 24:55 - Gimlet's 90 second rule: switch something up every 90 seconds, to keep your listeners from drifting off. 28:35 - Marketing and promotion tips.     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   Travel Goals Podcast Pip in the City Episode: "Why Peru should be on your travel bucket list for adventure, culture and food" Episode: "Why you must visit the charming Black & White Villages of Herefordshire in England" Episode: "Sacred places, pilgrimages and how spiritual tourism became a new travel trend"     References   Zoom H6 portable recorder Big Travel Pod     People   Luke Jones, South Girl Production Music Where is My Hit Single? podcast     Places   Wales Herefordshire, UK Saint Lucia

    Travel Mug Podcast: Embracing the Unknown

    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   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 form  Suggest a Podcast form     Guest Links   Travel Mug Podcast   Travel Mug on Instagram   Episode: What to do in Summer in Nova Scotia   Episode: Beginner's Guide to Toronto   Episode: Solo Travelling & Owning an AirBnB     References   The Cat ferry, Yarmouth to Bar Harbor   Sissiboo coffee roaster, Bear River, NS     Places   Nova Scotia   Prince Edward Island   New Brunswick

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

    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 form  Suggest a Podcast form     Places   Alma, New Brunswick   Maximeville, Prince Edward Island   Chèticamp, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia   Truro, Nova Scotia   Comeauville, Nova Scotia   OqWHp2bsumTFE7EoKbEH
