To celebrate 20 years of the Travel in 10 Podcast , David Brodie and co host Tim Johnson look back at how travel podcasting began and where it is today. David is joined by Chris Christensen, creator of long running Amateur Traveler podcast and member of the Podcast Hall of Fame, for a candid conversation about starting shows in 2004 to 2005, the gear and grit it took early on, and how travel audio has inspired millions to explore the world.

Highlights:

• The origin story of Amateur Traveler and Travel in 10
• Early podcasting hurdles, recording setups, and hand built RSS feeds
• Why interview driven shows unlock destinations beyond your own travels
• How travel podcasts are used by schools, governments, and airlines
• Favourite guest stories that challenge assumptions about places and people
• Evolving travel styles, trip pacing, and second visit strategies that reveal the local side of a city
• Building community across travel podcasters and launching Voyascape
