“This podcast is so engaging and you can definitely feel the through-line between this podcast and the Parts Unknown/Bourdain brand.
Fascinating guests and conversations. Loving it.”

“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!”

“Thank fug for The Trip. Normal people talking rationally. Good conversation’s all we’ve got and this is a wonderful celebration of that simple and complex truth. Much appreciate the paywall collapse in this time of covid.”

“Huge Bourdain fan and Nathan does an amazing job paying homage to his boy.
Episodes are a great listen, relaxing and different from many other Podcasts. If you are interested in food, culture and different points of view, you will not be disappointed.
Nathan, thank you!”

“What more could you want from eavesdropping on conversations and insights from interesting people? A delightful ramble through macro to micro, that keeps a thoroughly grounded and informed (if irreverent) perspective. Love it!”

“I always used to listen to this show (pre-Luminary) under a mango tree at my favorite bar in Senegal. I was disappointed when they went behind the paywall (though come on, you’ve got to respect the hustle/who amongst us wouldn’t), but am incredibly happy they’re back. Hop back on the bandwagon,...”Read full review »

“First few episodes were fascinating, story driven vignettes. Then it devolved into incredibly boring interviews where the editor just flies around the world to drink and have aimless conversations with his friends. I love Roads & Kingdoms, I’m disappointed they’d put out such a half-assed...”Read full review »

“The narrators finding other cultures’ customs “weird”, their food “gross”, etc. was a real bummer. For a podcast that is titled “the Trip”, you would think there would be more open mindedness for how others live and appreciation for diversity. I’m disappointed by the narrow perspective.”
