Reel Travels with Lisa Iannucci

Welcome to Episode 53 of Reel Travels! I'm your host Lisa Iannucci, the author of the travel books On Location: A Film & TV Lover's Travel Guide and Road Trip: A Sport's Lover's Travel Guide. I'm hoping this podcast inspires you to travel to destinations that have been used in your favorite movies and television shows.  I have to say that this interview was actually done in January, so you'll hear me mention that. But nothing else is really time-sensitive and I think you'll thoroughly enjoy this. It's all about Italy! And if you've been listening you know that I haven't been there yet, but it's on my list of places to go. So I turned to the one person I know who knows Italy, but who specializes in Sicily -- Karen La Rosa, the owner of La RosaWorks Sicily Tours and Travel. We talk about everything about Italy travel and movies in Sicily, including The Godfather (and Godfather Tours) and Cinema Paradiso's filming locations.This interview has only piqued my interest in traveling to Italy.  Find me on Instagram at TheVirginTraveler and follow me on Twitter @reeltravelsmag.

Hey everyone it’s Lisa Iannucci and this is a special cross-over episode between both of my podcasts The Reel Travels podcast and The Write Start podcast. My special guest for this episode is Katherine Parker-Magyar, who is an extremely successful travel writer and I thought that writers would want to know how she accomplished what she did as a travel writer and the travelers who listen to Reel Travels would love to listen to what she’s accomplished as a traveler and, of course, her interest in film.  Katherine Parker Magyar is the guest today and here is a snippet of her bio:  “In my career as a travel writer, I’ve driven husky sleighs through Arctic forests in Finnish Lapland and sailed the Rio Negro to the heart of the Brazilian Amazon. I’ve practiced yoga with goats in the Swiss Alps and chased Alaskan King Salmon off the shores of Prince of Wales Island. I’ve jumped into black holes in Belize and trekked across the most active volcanic valleys in the Caribbean. I’ve hot air ballooned above the Sierra Nevada and tracked rhinos in the savannah of the Maasai Mara. Katherine Parker-Magyar has been 6 continents, 63 countries, and all 50 states, I do want you to keep in mind that Katherine talks very fast so listen carefully or slow down the speed of your playback.  Katherine, thank you so much for being on the show and thank you all for listening to both the Reel Travels podcast and The Write Start podcast. I’ll limit my social media requests on this episode to please follow me on instagram at @thevirgintraveler @thewritestartpodcast.

Welcome to Episode 40 of Reel Travels I'm your host, Lisa Iannucci. This episode, I take a detour and head over to Woodstock, New York for the 21st Annual Woodstock Film Festival and, as I’ve said several times before, my favorite film festival. I’ll tell you about the movies I watched and what I thought about them. Let’s get started.  Film festivals suffered big time this year. The festivals depend on movie tickets being sold and souvenirs being bought and the communities they are located in depend on tourism dollars with hotel stays, restaurant visits and more. If you’re not familiar with film festivals, you should be. It’s a great way to see some of the best movies that don’t always make it to the theaters. Some do, but not all do and there are some talented filmmakers out there. I started thinking about how can I do my part during quarantine to help and I realized there are two areas that fit me well -- movies and books. So my goasl going forward are to bring you more promotion on film festivals as well as to encourage you to support your local independent bookstores, not just to buy my books, but to buy any books. The arts need your help.  Please listen to the podcast and support the Woodstock Film festival. Check out:  https://www.woodstockfilmfestival.com/wff_store/souvenirs.php Well, that’s it for this week’s podcast. Thank you so much for listening to Reel Travels. Please follow me on Instagram @thevirgintraveler and if you have a minute, maybe leave me a review on this podcast? Thanks. See you next time!

Welcome to Episode 22 of Reel Travels. I’m your host Lisa Iannucci and on today’s show, I deviate just a little bit to talk about becoming a successful freelance writer. I have been in the industry for more than 25 years and I have been listening to a lot of podcasts about how to be a successful writer while traveling, and especially while traveling full-time in your RV. I think some information is missing from these podcasts, so I thought I'd fill you in on me and my success and how you can be successful too. Thanks for sticking with the slight deviation from the topic, but I'll be back next week with another regular edition of Reel Travels. If you do like this episode, can you please leave me a rating on iTunes, Spreaker or wherever you listen to this? Thanks so much!    Enjoy the show!

Welcome to the 9th edition of Reel Travels, a film and tv travel podcast. In previous episodes, I told you about all these awesome places you can visit, but this week, I decided to switch things up a little. Not everybody really knows how to put a trip together, so this week, my guest is Liana Corwin of Hopper, an app that helps you to book your trips. It comparison shops for you when it comes to your airfare and will tell you when the right time to book it is. There’s so much more to travel, but this is a great way to get started. Maybe you’re a virgin traveler like I was, and what I mean by that is maybe you haven’t traveled a lot in your life or maybe it’s been a really long time since your last trip. So much can be overwhelming. Liana is going to talk about how to finally get that trip booked and start seeing everything that’s mentioned in my book and then some. So it’s a slightly different angle this week and, in full disclosure, this particular episode is sponsored by Spotlight Media and I want to thank them for doing this.  Enjoy the show! 

On this week's episode of Reel Travels, I had such a fun conversation with Joanna Wilson, a pop culture expert, book author on Christmas TV & movies, and someone who loves to travel and see film/tv sites!

Well, you'll have to listen to find out!  My celebrity minute is with Antron Brown, the three-time NHRA World Champion and the first African American auto-racing champion who talks about his favorite movie travel moment.  Let’s give a shout out to this week’s Reel Travels sponsor – Greg Antonelle and his company MickeyTravels LLC.

Hello everyone to the 7th episode of Reel Travels and thank you for all the wonderful feedback! My guests on today's episode are David and Rena Kiehn from the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum.

We go back in time to talk about the great films and actors of the silent film era and talk about what you can expect to see when you visit the museum.  I'd like to thank today's sponsor Mickey Travels LLC.  Please don't forget to pick up your copy of my book: On Location: A Film and TV Lover's Travel Guide, which just came out on March 1st, so I hope you don't mind the blatant self-promotion! I'm seriously proud of this book and look forward to doing more.
