Slugging Per Cent

I listen to a lot of travel hacking and points/miles content and this podcast has come to be the best of the bunch. They explain things in a clearer way than anyone else, not only how to earn and redeem miles, but how to join a community of likeminded people, gather knowledge. They share great knowledge resources and are fun and nerdy about travel planning in a way that speaks to me.

I’m new to this podcast after spending the last 18 months or so diving deep into points and miles. The AT101 podcast is practical and well-structured, with friendly and accessible hosts. While not relevant to my situation, I could also see how Joe’s experience traveling with a special needs kiddo could be quite helpful to many families. Keep up the good work!
