I have known Mike for many years in LA through the Chamberlins I hate to admit it, but I am late to joining in to listing to this podcast. I knew it existed but I have been more into audiobooks. I started listening a month ago and am hooked. It has been really good incentive to get me through...Read full review »

Mike’s lighthearted and curious approach draws you into the guest’s story, striking a perfect balance between amusement and reflection.

Mike is a great host and brings on fascinating guests. A super listen while road tripping, flying on a plane, or pummeling across the country on a train. (Or while sitting still and pretending you’re somewhere else.)

Totally entertaining. Mike Interviews the most fascinating people. As a professional traveling comedian he brings such a fun listening experience to his audience. I’ve been meaning for years to take the time to write a review but just haven’t. Sorry Mike. But the recent Greg Abandoned episode...Read full review »

Mike. Don’t ever give up on this podcast. I have been enjoying your travel tales for many years. You always bring out the best in your guest. I can’t travel these days but listening to your podcast gives me a good sense of what is going on out there in this big bad world!! Thank you and take care.

Very condescending guest. I was going to buy his book until about half way through the interview. This podcast is generally good but this guest was the worst.

Great travel and a lifestyle podcast. I always find the stories very inspiring. And I think it’s because of the interviewer Mike. Would love to meet him and hang around :)
ToddPocius via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 03/10/20
Love to travel? Love to podcast? This is a win/win! Mike has a great, laid back interview style and the guests are people that I feel like I want to know! Great experiences and good inspiration for your next “outside of the box” travel destination.

Can’t Believe you’ve been podcasting for 7 yrs. I just discovered you 2 yrs ago. Keep going great interviews.

I just stumbled upon this podcast. I was doing research for my own travel show and trying to find a podcast that actually interviews people in the travel industry and here we are. I think I've listened to about 15 episodes now. I love them. And thank you for interviewing so many women....Read full review »

I’ve been listening to this podcast for about a year. It is very diverse and entertaining. Good blend of travel and the people who make it their livelihood.

I LOVED his interview with Nena Komarica! Mike asked great questions and Nena offered articulate answers and brought back fond memories of NYC in the 70's-80's. Plus she helped me to understand better the history of Croatia after the war. It's wonderful to hear people's...Read full review »

I love listening to travel podcasts, but only the funny ones keep me listening to every episode, regardless of the locations being discussed. I especially love how honest both Mike and his guests are - not every trip will feel like a vacation, nor should it. Rather, they focus on how important...Read full review »
Not In My Mid-to-late-27s via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/26/17
I listen to 40 different podcasts on a regular basis, and Travel Tales is one of my favorite. I am always excited when a new episode drops. I love traveling the world, but I don't get to travel as much as I would like, so it is great to hear about the Mike's adventures and the stories...Read full review »

I really enjoy this podcast. Mike is super engaging and I love the guests he brings on the show. The stories they tell are interesting, very funny and they make you want to explore places you might not have thought about. Great job, Mike!
Karileed via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/06/17
Only tested episode 10. Didn't get very far past an inane discussion about Chicago, then Brooklyn. Where are the tales of travel listening to Dwayne make silly comparisons about Chicago. Not my cup of tea.Read full review »

If you searched travel podcast odds are you did it for one of 3 reasons; you want to be inspired to travel, you want to be reminded of your travels or your crazy traveling friend is making you listen to this. For me, once I returned from my trip, I found myself slipping right back into where I...Read full review »

So I'm cuban and while I was looking for some news about Cuba on Twitter I found this Podcast. Now, for about a week and a half and almost 8 hours each day I travel the world with Mike and his guests' stories. To people like me, with the hungry to travel the world and not much resources...Read full review »

I met Mike during a Travel Massive event in LA and he told me about the podcast. I just found it and love his simple, yet funny and relaxed style. A great podcast to accompany your activities.
Joanna/Travelists via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/17/15
Week in and week out, this is easily one of the best podcasts going. Interesting guests and great stories.
SilverRubicon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/14
Listening to Travel Tales is like going out of a leisurely lunch with good friends (perhaps dining outside in Westwood Village.). The conversations are intelligent, casual, engaging and entertaining. I highly recommend this podcast if you love travel, eating and observing lifestyles.
Rbs34 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/17/13
The guests are very interesting and funny. Travel stories that are off the beaten paths. Makes you interested in going places that you might not have thought you would enjoy. the good the bad and the freaky funny.

I really enjoy listening to this podcast. Mike's guests have great stories, and Mike asks the questions I want to know with great follow ups.

The last interview by Mike of Jim Short was HIARIOUS. The comments made about mishandled luggage made me spit coffee on my key board. Keep up the good work Mike! Randy

Full of real stories and true opinions on the places and persons met through travel. I love the opinions shared as it gives the listeners a true picture on what the travellers thought during their travels, without necessarily feeling like they need to always paint things in a good light.

Travel Tales is delightfully heartfelt, earthy and laugh-out-loud funny. Deftly hosted with wonderful guests. No customs, luggage, fears or prejudices, just traveling around the world through a different set of eyes. Enriching experience!

Great show with a fun topic. Some great guests with fantastic stories! Keep up the good work.

What started out as an interesting travel podcast at one moment took me aback on the description of traveling to Afghanistan. It was more like a friend enlightening me on the horrors of war than the normal perspective we often get. Here's hoping the future podcasts deliver more of the same.Read full review »
