Part Travel and Part Democrats propaganda podcast

06/21/2025

RakeshShahMD

There sure is Some good travel content but at times full of left wing propaganda. Be ready for Trump bashing left leaning political propaganda from host at every chance he gets - although he puts on a show as if he is steering the discussion away from that topic. The guests are same way - left leaning and Trump bashing. They are basically using this platform to subtly advance their left wing narrative under the disguise of “travel podcast”

I’ve been listening to Mike for awhile and I always look forward to new episodes. Listening to him and his guests just talk about their stories on the road reminds me of my own travels and inspires me to keep hitting the road.
