Although to some podcasts may seem unpopular or maybe boring, there are so many new podcasts these days to prove these people wrong. What is a podcast you may ask? Well, it is a series or episode of digital audio which a listener can download to listen to. Podcasts were first created in the early 2004’s by two friends, Dave Winer and Adam Curry, and thanks to them sparked the evolution to where podcasts are today.

Nowadays downloading a new podcast is quite simple and there are three different ways in which you could consume the product. First, by listening on the web directly without even  having to download it or subscribe. Next, by downloading a single podcast and not having to subscribe or stream it. Finally, by subscribing to a podcast it will automatically download new episodes to your device or download when you are on WiFi and then you are free to listen. What makes these podcasts so nice and what generates the appeal about them is that they are portable. As listeners we chose where to listen to a recording and when we want to. While looking into more information about podcasts, I came across a few interesting ones regarding travel I thought  I would share.

Amateur Traveler Travel Podcast

This podcast is created by Chris Christensen and strives to answer the question “where should you go next and what should you see, do and eat there?” All the questions that a traveler wants to know the answers to. His podcasts ranges from places in India, to Italy, New Zealand, and even a road trip on Route 66. The typical length of an episode is 50 minutes but can range from 30 minutes to over an hour depending on the content. I recommend this to anyone who likes to know a little history before they travel somewhere and knowing what to do to make the most of your trip.

JUMP with Traveling Jackie

Let Traveling Jackie,  formerly known as The Budget-Minded Traveler, take you through different places in the world to not only give you travel tips, but to give you the inspiration you need to make that next JUMP on your next travel endeavor. Each episode consists of Jackie interviewing a guest about their experiences traveling which leads to the listener gaining the  knowledge they need for their next travel. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone who is hesitant to go on a big travel trip or has a lot of question they want answered before jetting off.

Zero To Travel

Travel expert Jason Moore’s weekly podcast Zero To Travel is perfect for anyone interested in listening to stories about travel based work or travel lifestyle and business opportunities. This podcast is ideal for all ranges of travel experience. If you are a newbie you will  get good advice and tips on how to budget and travel safety tips and if you are a full-time traveler you will learn ways to be able to keep up what you are doing. His podcasts range from having guests come on and talk about their different journeys, or just him speaking about his own.

These are just a few of the good ones I came across. They can be found on iTunes and Spotify. I hope you enjoy and have fun on your search for your perfect podcast!
