  • Professional and thoroughly entertaining

    Pauline Frommer is the best interviewer I’ve come across in the podcast-o-sphere. If she has an author on, it’s clear that she’s actually read the book. What a concept! Her level of interest and detail with all of her guests make the podcast just fly by.

    What a diverse, delightful and insightful show! You’ll laugh, learn, and be made to think about an array of travel topics and destinations, discover new ideas for where to go, how to get there, and what to do once on the ground (or on the water) and come away with a better understanding and appreciation for the world at large, people, and communities.
