“Travel podcast 2.0. This is such an amazing project. You really get to know a place through its history and people. I’ve learned so much about cultures, inequalities, environmental issues, and so much more. I definitely recommend this podcast if you love learning about places and people.”

“I really enjoyed all of these, especially Black Utopia and Science Sky. The idea both of spiritual utopia and building for the future was exciting, along with the precise measuring of the past and being able to interview indigenous cultures while they’re still here was illuminating. I really...”Read full review »

“I was so moved and heartening by this story of Soul City, but most of all the idea of “Active Hope”! It touched me deeply the founders soaring enthusiasm to hope and to work! The idea of being a part of something so big that you live in a spiritual utopia is Amazing! This is how I want to live!”

“Another outstanding project by TED. Makes me feel more in touch with the global community. Learning new perspectives from around the world makes me more grateful and inspired to engage with my own life. Saleem is a fantastic guide who asks the right questions and learns along aside us.”

“Love the idea and concept of this show. And the host has a friendly voice. But the guy he interviewed about Bangkok just said so many things that were inaccurate. If you’re going to explain things about another culture, get your facts right.”

At a time when the global pandemic has made international travel off limits, this show manages to bring the world’s cultures, histories and landscapes alive in a way that feels as though you are there yourself.

“The reporter is a woman, the narrator a man. Over half a dozen people interviewed for the episode about a town in Germany, all men. Not a woman’s voice to be heard. Maybe the town doesn’t have any women living there? Or maybe this is just another tone deaf podcast that doesn’t realize the...”Read full review »

It’s a great way to travel while...”Read full review »
