It took us a long time to write this article. Normally we\u2019re pretty good at sticking to schedule, but when it comes to podcasts – all bets are off. What started out as “research” for this story ended up with us three days into an audio\u00a0binge we were reluctant to emerge from.\u00a0But that\u2019s the beauty of podcasts: they capture your attention and open you up to new ways of thinking about the world. They inspire.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our\u00a0favourite travel-related podcasts tell so many\u00a0exciting and poignant stories, from one New York Times writer’s loneliness on the road to Dervla Murphy\u2019s 1960s cycling trip from Ireland to India. Start downloading.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You Must Remember This<\/b><\/a><\/h4>\n

You Must Remember This tells the secret and forgotten\u00a0stories of Hollywood\u2019s first century. One wouldn\u2019t normally place this storytelling podcast in the travel section, but\u00a0we’re going to go ahead and make the connection – it’s that good. Written and edited by journalist Karina Longworth, You Must Remember This is the ultimate ode to Hollywood, giving colourful cultural context to a city travellers often\u00a0only know for its shiny veneer. Before you book your next trip to LA, have a listen.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rough Guide To Everywhere<\/b><\/a><\/h4>\n

During one of his many fact-finding trips for travel publisher Rough Guide, editor Greg Dickinson had an idea. \u201cI wanted to make this podcast as a home for all the juicy stuff we can\u2019t fit into our guidebooks – the sort of stories you tell when you get back from a trip, about when things don\u2019t go to plan and the characters you meet along the way.\u201d The Rough Guide to Everywhere does exactly what it says on the tin – and listening in is really good fun. The first episode kicks off with a chat to one of the travel industry\u2019s biggest heavyweights, Irish Dervla, a writer best known for her cycling trip from Ireland to Delhi in the 1960s. Her story, like many featured on this podcast, is unexpected, insightful, and extremely motivating.<\/span><\/p>\n

*The Rough Guide to Everywhere podcast has been on hiatus since December last year, but you\u2019ve got a decent enough backlog of episodes to work through in the meantime. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Zero to Travel <\/b><\/a><\/h4>\n

A nomadic lifestyle is a pipedream for many of us, though listening to travel expert Jason Moore’s latest\u00a0podcast could just about make it a reality. Whether it\u2019s starting and running an online business, sticking to realistic travel budgets or packing for the long haul, consider Zero to Travel your audio bible to long-term travelling. His enthusiasm is infectious\u00a0and his actionable advice is spot on.<\/p>\n

Travelogue<\/b><\/a><\/h4>\n

Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler is one of the world’s leading authorities in travel, so when we heard about the launch of their podcast, Travelogue, we were expecting big things. We weren\u2019t disappointed. Each week the team takes to the mic, discussing\u00a0interesting destinations and the\u00a0controversial\u00a0travel topics you don\u2019t hear about on your typical travel feed – Weed tourism: How Legal Marijuana is Changing Travel and Overtourism Doesn’t Mean You Have to Avoid Venice are just a few of the episodes\u00a0that should be on your list.\u00a0The result is an interesting mix of\u00a0content that inspires and encourages travellers to think differently about their next trip away.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Travel Tales<\/b><\/a><\/h4>\n

On his podcast, Travel Tales, comedian Mike Siegel interviews people from all walks of life with one thing in common: a crazy interesting travel story. The format\u2019s not quite as finessed as legendary shows like This American Life or Serial, (some of the music cuts are a little jarring) but Travel Tales is great for an easy listen and a good laugh. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Lonely Hour <\/b><\/a><\/h4>\n

Travelling solo can be exciting, but it can also be very lonely. Julia Bainbridge\u2019s podcast, The Lonely Hour, discusses the feeling of loneliness that overcomes us all at times,\u00a0especially when we travel. Tune in to the writer and former Editor of Bon Appetit magazine\u2019s first-ever episode where she speaks with New York Times writer Alan Feuer about a 400-mile solo drive through Alaska\u2019s Dalton Highway and the upcoming trip of Randall Reeves who, at the time of release, was planning to circumnavigate both the Americas and Antarctica in a small sailboat all by himself.<\/span><\/p>\n
