“Why listen? The podcast premise marries history and present-day travel like no other podcast out there. Each episode is essentially broken into two halves; one half that tells the history of the wonder—a site, monument, or natural area—embedded in a chronological super-narrative spanning human...”Read full review »

“Caroline makes an enthusiastic tour guide through our world’s most wondrous sights! She explores the human stories from across the globe and works with her fans to tell stories about how to visit the place yourself!
