Join Roads & Kingdoms and host Nathan Thornburgh for this evolving travel podcast, currently on hiatus in 2023. Archives include long boozy global interviews and Anthony Bourdain-led deep dives. Always, though, beats have been by Dan the Automator, artwork by Daisy Dee, show art by Edel Rodriguez. All advertising proceeds go to NYC's Let Us Breathe Fund for which this show has raised thousands, even in hiatus. So thank you for listening.

Khachapuri Love
Here, to ring in this new year, is an ode to what should be the next great culinary star from the country of Georgia, the perfect vessel of unadorned cholesterol, the cosmic collision of flour, butter, egg and cheese: Khachapuri.

Customer Reviews
Really fun Podcast
Love how the hosts travel around and talk to people. If more people did this, America (and the world) would be much less divided. Fun and informative!
Worth a listen to expand your mind
The Trip has long been one of my favorite podcasts. I thoroughly enjoy listening to the various perspectives and insights from around the globe concerning culture, food, current events, and just how people are getting through their day. Just relax, listen and open your mind to the views of people unlike yourself. You might find they are not all that different.
Reality mixed with hope
Thank you, Nathan, for keeping this podcast going during the pandemic. Your interview technique and narration somehow cast hope through harrowing experiences of real people. It helps during this very diffcult time.
