  • Beach Travel Wine: A Travel Podcast for the Great Things in Life

    Beach Travel Wine: A Travel Podcast for the Great Things in Life
    Jan 10 2023
    Put your feet up, grab a glass of wine and listen to great travel stories and suggestions, and you have the ethos of Beach Travel Wine podcast, brought to you by Leanne and Lyle McCabe. https://www.beachtravelwine.com/ It's a fun, casual and lighthearted podcast aimed at beach-loving, wine-drinking couples over 50, although as we chat about today, their travel advice is perfectly relevant to anyone. They spent much of the past year in Spain, and it holds a special place in both their hearts and their series of episodes. Learn about all kinds of fascinating corners of the country, from Marbella to Asturias, Valencia to Oviedo. And of course Barcelona and Madrid. The podcast was inspired in part by a dearth of information in audio form about different parts of Spain, beyond the regular tourist routes, as well as an opening to speak to their demographic. It's a common theme on this show, where we've met travel podcasters filling voids and creating the shows that they want to listen to. But Beach Travel Wine is not exclusively Spanish-focused, indeed their initial episodes start off in Paris and London. The new year should see them spending quality time in Mexico, working on their Spanish, as well as exploring more sights around Australia and New Zealand. And who knows what else! The spontaneity is part of the adventure. In our conversation today we share some excellent advice on taking action, just getting started and not letting technical hurdles get in the way. We talk about the importance of regular promotion, and to not hesitate to regularly post reminders of your show, because the algorithms mean not everyone will see it right away anyway. And we dive into some real travel, with Ted's upcoming family adventure to Spain and Portugal front and centre. So it's not just podcasting advice today but good travel tips too! Action Advice 5:15 - Choosing a good name for their show. 8:02 - Another example of filling a void and creating the show you want to listen to. 9:05 - Not making any big plans for the podcast, basically just sitting down and starting! 9:53 - On making it as easy as possible, and not getting overwhelmed by thoughts of expensive equipment or complicated setup. 12:39 - How researching for the podcast has in turn enhanced the experience of travel itself. Having a platform to share what you've learned. 10:12 - Where are travellers hanging out and most likely to come across your show. 19:42 - The routine for putting show notes and photos together, and then repurposing material for other platforms. Giving your audience more options. 21:02 - We chat about promotion and how often you should post clips and reminders of your episodes, and your show in general. How much is too much? 25:52 - The value of having your own dedicated podcast website and URL. You can control more factors like SEO keywords and search terms.

  • The Places Where We Go podcast: Rich Detail for DIY Travel

    The Places Where We Go podcast: Rich Detail for DIY Travel
    Dec 20 2022
    It's vicarious travel at its best with Art & Julie Dobrucki, hosts of "The Places Where We Go" podcast which, as per the title, brings you along on their journeys through Europe and the United States. https://www.theplaceswherewego.com/ Their story has been an evolution from only fairly recently beginning to travel in earnest to exploring the options of documenting their experiences: first creating little daily video journals for their own records, then blogging, followed by podcasting and YouTube videos now too. It's another great example of video complementing audio, and vice-versa. The foundation of the show is great research and detail, in essence repurposing the work and preparation that went into planning the trip in the first place by then describing how it unfolded, and having lots of practical info at their fingertips. In this, it is a podcast made for DIY travel: independent travellers who enjoy the planning and research process, piecing together a unique and individual trip and keeping space for spontaneity and adaptation. And they are happily inspired by other travellers to help them build their trips, to then pass that info and experience on to their own listeners. Highlights include exploring destinations in Wales, England and Ireland, particularly off-the-beaten-path villages and parks that have a particular draw. We also visit Rome, Florence, Venice and Ferrara as part of their Italian trip, and more recently a mini-series on multiple cities in western Poland, where they trace some family lineage. When not in Europe, Julie & Art are exploring the national parks of the United States, switching to RV travel in their Airstream trailer. This includes Montana, Northern California, the stunning parks of Utah and more. They take us to Alaska, hopping off their cruise to make it all the way up to Denali National Park. As for motivation, in our conversation today we chat about how surviving a major health scare put life and travel in perspective, and led to them embracing opportunities and adventures. It's a valuable reminder for all of us to live life to the fullest. Action Advice 9:45 - On filling a void in podcasting by creating one themselves. 11:50 - On getting used to the audio format, and learning to not over-prepare. 13:38 - Using podcast narration to add to video clips for YouTube. 19:19 - Don't worry about talking about an older trip on your podcast. Just get the information up to date, the stories are still relevant! 21:50 - On enjoying the moment and summarizing your travels when you get home. 24:25 - Art & Julie's remarkable consistency, and the decision that allowed them to achieve that. 28:28 - Learning the remote recording process and format, and how to get it all set up. 35:10 - How do they know how many episodes to do for each destination?

  • India Chalo: Breathtaking India in a Podcast Experience

    India Chalo: Breathtaking India in a Podcast Experience
    Nov 23 2022
    Dive into India and relive the memorable experiences of real travellers through the India Chalo podcast. Host Rohan Bansal connects with guests from his home base of Delhi, engaging in inspiring conversations on exotic destinations. You've likely heard of Goa, Sikkim or Jaipur, but Rohan and his guests will also introduce you to new discoveries, in distant corners: Chitkul in Himachal Pradesh, deep in the heart of the Himalaya, or Vizag in tropical Andhra Pradesh. https://www.indiachalo.in/ There's lots of great info for planning a trip around India: detailed itineraries, attractions and activities. Each episode arrives however with an emphasis on experiences, of what it's like to be trekking through the mountains or navigating through a busy local market. The India podcasting scene itself is a topic of discussion too, as Rohan points out there have not been a lot of Indian creators publishing consistently, yet. This encompasses all niches and topics, but travel is no exception. India Chalo and The Musafir Stories (Travel Podcast the World Ep. 20) are part of a growing wave of made-in-India travel podcasts, promoting travel in India to both a foreign and domestic audience. When you consider that with well over a billion people, a middle class of roughly 25% of the population suggests a domestic market alone of roughly 350 million people. Many are only starting to really explore their own country. This gives India Chalo an interesting perspective as a podcast: it speaks to a domestic audience, but is equally applicable to the foreign traveller. Indeed, Rohan is always searching for non-Indian travellers to share their stories of journeying around the country, so if you fit that description, do consider getting in touch. But if you want to feel like a savvy traveller to India, and can imagine yourself navigating the train stations and chowks with ease, you'll be right at home listening to India Chalo. Action Advice 11:57 - Could podcasting be the next big thing in travel content, after blogging? 17:59 - On the pressure to publish every week, and often compromising on quality as a result. 21:03 - Have your guests share their own photos via your Instagram, and record their own clips talking about being on the show. Great for engagement and promotion. 30:04 - Giving yourself permission to tell your own stories and allow the audience to get to know you. It's easy to forget that they don't know what you know, or what you've done/where you've been.
