Travel Ups and Downs
A few weeks ago, our staff here at Atlas Obscura put out an episode about our traveling expectations – places that either blew us away… or were a major letdown. And today - we are hearing YOUR stories.
WE WANT YOUR STORIES: We’re working on a new slate of episodes that will feature listener stories, and we want to hear yours.
Tell us about a place you’ve been that made you instantly feel at home. What made it special? Have you returned there? What sticks out about this place that makes it unique to you? Why does it remind you of home? How does it connect to you?
Give us a call at 315-992-7902 and leave a message telling us your name and story. Just so you know, our mailbox will cut you off after two minutes, so you may need to call multiple times if your story is long.
You can also record a voice memo and email it to us at Hello@AtlasObscura.com -

Customer Reviews
Please stop frying.
Please, stop with this affection. It’s distracting and makes it appear that you’re too exhausted to finish a sentence.
Interesting content
I enjoy the variety and novelty of the show, but the vocal fry of the host for “a long walk home“ was highly distracting. I found myself focusing more on when I would have to hear something like finger nails across a chalkboard, than on the episode content. Are the hosts, typically younger females, doing this to sound more authoritative, or is it just an unconscious habit? Regardless, I don’t think they realize how distracting it is to many listeners.
Love this
The content is great and I like that some episodes are just 15-ish minutes because it's hard for me to stay focused sometimes. But, there are so many topics that just leave me wanting more! It would be nice to have more long ones. The rating is missing a star because of the ads. Bad placement and are often quite abrasive to the ear, especially on a podcast I listen to while relaxing. I love it though!
