Can geometric shapes heal the world? That's what the artists of the De Stijl movement—which came of age in the Netherlands after World War I—believed. Piet Mondrian is one of the most famous members o...Show More

Travel pods can be pretty hit and miss, AFAR being no exception. But once in awhile they get it right by featuring someone who is well-travelled with a story that is also well-written. This is the case with Chris Colin’s exploration of the Dutch De Stijl movement in the city of Utrecht, which I’ve b...Show More

@benrempel I listened to this episode and found it very interesting

@benrempel gonna give this a listen in your rec. I also have trouble finding good travel podcasts. Do you have a top 5 or something you could recommend?

It’s a good question that I can’t answer very well because I’m still ‘in process’ myself. It’s also - like travel itself - a very subjective thing: travel pods for some will be about specific intel and info; for others it’s the traveller’s personal story that resonates; while for others (like me:) ...Show More

Nevertheless, I’ll take a stab at providing some options for consideration. For “more tale less teller” there is R&K’s The Trip (seems to have ended); Travel Writing World; About The Journey; and Far Flung.

For travel as “Personal Transformation” there is Not Lost; Everywhere; The Trip That Changed Me; Extra Pack Of Peanuts; and Travel Tales From Afar For “tell me what to do” travel guidance there is Travel That Matters; Travel With Rick Steves; Zero To Travel Podcast; Unpacked from AFAR; You Should ...Show More

For some interesting outliers there is “The End of Tourism” and “Vanishing Postcards” - and I always keep an eye on Atlas Obscura for curious oddities.

@benrempel That’s an AMAZING list! Thanks so much. Lots to work through. The only ones from your list that I’ve already listened to were Atlas Obscura, Vanishing Postcards and Not Lost. Travel Writing World sounds totally up my alley. Pico Iyer is one of my very favourite writers; anything that...Show More

@benrempel I agree completely about crowd-sourcing a Best of Travel list, and also your thoughts on how travel means different things to different people. Aside from Atlas Obscura, many of the travel podcasts I’ve heard have not resonated with me. They are either too nuts and bolts about trip plann...Show More

@epekilis Totally agree about your expressed reservations and, to be perfectly honest, I haven’t done a thorough ‘qualiity checking’ of some of those pods like Travel That Matters - so the list is really just stuff I’m currently scanning for episodes that might resonate with my own interests. And P...Show More
