Animal cruelty is not funny, uneducated hosts and only the most basic travel info

“I wanted to like this podcast but certain things are just unacceptable. The hosts seem focused mostly in snapping pictures for their Instagrams instead of actually learning about the locations they visit. They were shocked there were no Western style bathrooms for them in the middle of their Serengeti jeep tour. Are you kidding, it’s a preserved natural area not Disney World you fools. No visit to the Doge Palace in Venice because they charge to enter? No mention of the city’s centuries of history as a world trading center, their artistic legacy, or the current concerns for over tourism and the impact of climate change? Apparently all they did was visit the Basilica and take photos on the Rialto because it was free. Any five minute read on a decent travel blog would have you a better sense of the city.
Similarly, the Dakotas road trip name drops General Custer but makes no mention of native peoples and their forced relocation to and from the Badlands area except to say they refused to pay the entrance fee to the visitor center at the Crazy Horse memorial. If they had bothered to enter, they would have received some obviously needed education on the area’s native peoples and would have contributed to the funding of the unfinished memorial that they found disappointing when viewed from the highway but instead they paid to visit Mount Rushmore and talk about it for 30 minutes.
Joking and laughing at the monkeys forced to pose with tourists in Morocco and literally laughing about “what they guy must have done to the monkey” to train it. Abuse, that’s what was done. And it’s not amusing. I’m sure they also rode elephants and handled tiger cubs because hey, animal abuse doesn’t matter if you get a good Instagram post out of it!!!
This is not a podcast for any conscientious traveler interested in more than a surface level overview of a location. If you can read, you’re better off just reading travel blogs for better advice.”

“Found this podcast while looking for a podcast to plan my upcoming trip to Mexico City, now I can’t get enough of the Travel Squad. If you’re after a podcast that tells you more than what you can just read in a travel guide, this is the one for you!”
