“I love the concept for this series, it had lots of potential. Unfortunately it’s a very American execution, with a host seemingly far more interested in himself and trying to be witty than in the actual people he interviews overseas. This might appeal to Americans who’ve barely traveled or who...”Read full review »

“I loved every episode. The trips to all of the cities in the first season made me feel like I was there and made me want to go. I didn’t think I was going to like the second season because Brendon wasn’t really traveling. BUT, I was wrong. All of the contributors that he interviewed were...”Read full review »

“I like the way the host and guests explore aspects of the places they visit that intrigue them our fill a personal need at the moment. Their willingness to swear, when it fits, is also a plus. It’s just fun to listen to.”

“The Mexico City episode was incredibly racist - classic examples of rash Americans pushing and shoving their way through another culture with zero sensitivity. Comparing an ancient Aztec spiritual ritual to cooking chicken is the most racist thing I’ve heard about in a long time!”

“Ok so Cadillac and Coca Cola every 5 minutes and repeating g the same thing over and over?
Mediocre content. I appreciated colonialist critique in the México episode. Needing to be asked to dinner was so awkward and forced.”

Just the fact that there is an acknowledgement of the privilege it takes to make your podcast meant a lot to me as a listener and made me feel more invested in the journey. Will def keep listening.”

“I enjoyed hearing the locals talk about the area and getting a sense of the city but I found them constantly asking for an invite to dinner a distraction and the dinner party didn’t add anything to the podcast. I like the idea, virtually traveling right now is quite appealing”

“I love “traveling” with these two. They are super curious, so open, and funny. I grew up in Montreal, and they captured it so well. After listening to “New Orleans” I have to get back there soon. I hope you can keep on going after season one, eventually even beyond North America. London? Venice?”

And the dinner party with locals adds a...”Read full review »

“I think "Not Lost" is still finding its thematic way.
