Travel is one of those podcast genres that offers a hint of specificity without the certainty of finding what you're looking for as a listener. For example, travel could encompass airline information, cruise reviews, tourist destination evaluations, travel tips, and budgeting advice.
In essence, Travel is a genre with many eddies and tributaries. Today, we will attempt to include some of the diversity of the Travel genre.
As evident in most genres, independent podcasts offer a wider range of quality podcasts than high-profile network-supported shows with massive advertising budgets.

The Thoughtful Travel Podcast
The Thoughtful Travel Podcast, hosted by Amanda Kendle, is a show for travel enthusiasts who want to learn from the experiences of other travelers.
The show has a decidedly low-key, mellow feel, and Kendle has a quiet, reassuring tone that approaches ASMR levels. What makes the show compelling is the stories told by travelers with Kendle as the narrative guide. For example, in a recent episode, listeners heard from Chelsea Gruber, a big fan of solo travel who has had quite a few active adventures on her trips, and was in training to run the Paris Marathon. Then Kendle spoke to Patrick Nash, who spent time traveling through many parts of Africa, and his story centers on a long walk through the Congo, or what was then Zaire.
Finally, Kendle chatted with Amy Willis shares, who shares some of her active travels, starting off with her experience on the Rim to Rim at the Grand Canyon, and then describing a recent experience running in northern Kenya.
