Less chat, more info
Between the pauses that stretch long enough to notice, there exists the conversation of people who seem to know each other and genuinely respect their co-hosts accomplishments. The real-time banter (and utter lack of editing) is perfect background chatter to allow the mind to drift through the concept of travel. That takes up 90-95% of the podcast, the remaining 5-10% has actual information. The hosts seem to be knowledgeable, perhaps a bit jaded and they all seem to be accomplished in travel, though what those accomplishments are beyond actually going places, are not mentioned. It can be annoyingly frustrating. A recent podcast was almost 2 hours long from a convention. The interviews were useful, if a bit lacking in depth, but interesting enough to encourage research. What would make this podcast better would be A-editing- splicing out the long pauses, the useless rambling B- sound quality typically is terrible, the audio comes across as if it is being recorded from secondary sources- holding a microphone to a speaker - C- an itinerary, ironic that a podcast about travel rambles around like a tourist with a map and a suitcase in a foreign city - the introduction could be streamlined, the content could be condensed, and the utility could be better managed. Again these are clearly knowledgeable professionals, I was hoping for more of that knowledge and less bon temps reminiscing. The 6-7 podcasts I've listened to have provided very little of that.Read full review »

More reviews of This Week in Travel
They bring on quality guests who have a lot to share, but there’s better travel podcasts with better content and editing. It drives me crazy how I can hear the hosts breathing into their microphones and it’s overall poorly edited with poor sound quality.

This is a great podcast about everything travel! The hosts have a great rapport and I find myself feeling like I am part of he conversation. No matter how much you travel there is something g to learn from each episode as well as a few laughs.
