Steves is one of the most celebrated figures in the travel industry and an inspiration for many travel journalists.

On She Goes
Everything is beautiful about this podcast; from the illustrated podcast artwork to the women who present the show and the stories they tell.
On She Goes is a travel platform created by women of color for women of color which brilliantly fills a void in the podcast-sphere by discussing the challenges women of color face while traveling.
They aim to inspire other women of color to explore outside of their comfort zones and help them to deal with issues such as racism and solo travel.
Travelogue
The weekly podcast is hosted by Conde Nast Traveler Digital Director Brad Rickman and the show frequently pulls in other editors from across the publication to discuss an array of travel-related topics.
The hour-long episodes focus on everything from how the late, great Anthony Bourdain changed travel to whether LQBTQ+ travel is inherently political.
There are also softer topics such as things you shouldn’t do in a hotel and which American food you must try.
The conversational tone of the podcasts is descriptive and inspiring but also makes you feel like you could interrupt at any moment to share your own story.
Location Indie
Location Indie pitches itself as “raw and honest location independent lifestyle talk” and that’s exactly what the show does.
Hosted by Trav and Jason, the podcast discusses what life on the road is like for digital nomads, looking at the tribulations as well as the positives of remote working.
If you’re thinking of ditching the office and finding a beach, listen to Location Indie for advice and stories – you’re guaranteed a giggle too.
If you’re overwhelmed by the number of episodes for each podcast, either start at the beginning or pick one that has a title you like the sound of.
There are no rules when it comes to podcasts, you can listen wherever, whenever and to whatever – just as long as you enjoy it.
