Like travel itself, this podcast meanders back and forth between high and low points as its host recounts various trips and real life advice about his travels. His in-depth study of the best sites for internet travel shopping was excellent, offering tips I didn't know about how to get the best deal. The few that I listened to were from Australia. While I did find a few sections rather bland, those who like a good account of trip minutia for a specific area will enjoy these podcasts.
Apart from its scary, horror movie voice intro, this podcast is delivered in a low-key conversational tone, and most episodes were a bit like getting a comfortable, newsy report from your best buddy upon his or her return from vacation.

This was a pretty decent podcast on traveling. The audio was a bit amateur as was the host but I guess that's the name of show. Chris Christensen is fine but he needs some interviews or somebody else to spice the show up a little. Right now it's a little dry.
