Podcasts about travellers

As we celebrate 12 years of Adventure Rider Radio motorcycle podcast, we're bringing back a story that still resonates today. Drawn together by motorcycles and a shared curiosity about the world, Maryna Matthew and Paul Knibbs left behind the security of established careers to pursue a life of adventure. Their journey is a powerful reminder that some of life's greatest opportunities begin with a single decision: to stop waiting and simply say yes.Links & ResourcesPhotos, links, and resources for this episodeMore episodes: Adventure Rider Radio and RAWSupport the show: Support ARRFollow Adventure Rider RadioInstagramFacebookAbout the PodcastSince 2014, Adventure Rider Radio has shared adventure motorcycle travel stories, Rider Skills, Deep Trouble episodes, tech and gear features, and conversations with riders from around the world.

When a Starfleet propulsion expert comes aboard with an alien assistant, Commander Riker isn't buying any of their bullshit. But after his experiment goes wrong and the Entrepreneur is stranded far from home, the very chill Traveller takes an interest in Wesley and helps bring the ship back safely. How is the piper paid? Does a starship use car math or boat math? Who is the Rudy of this story? It's the episode with a little bit of terror mixed into the benign.Support the production of our shows Members get benefits including bonus episodes and an ad-free experienceSign up for our mailing list!Get a thing at podshop.biz!The Greatest Generation is hosted by Adam Pranica and Benjamin Ahr Harrison The show is produced by Wynde PriddySocial media is managed by Rob Adler and Bill TilleyMusic by Adam Ragusea & Dark MateriaDiscuss the show using the hashtag #GreatestGen and find us on social media:YouTube | Instagram | BlueskyAnd check out these online communities run by FODs: Reddit | USS Hood Discord | Facebook group | Wikia | FriendsOfDeSoto.socialSupport the production of The Greatest Generation Hosted on Acast.

One of the most frightening situations a rider can face is realizing the bike won't slow down on a long, steep mountain descent. That's exactly what happened to Seth Cooper in Costa Rica. In this episode of DEEP TROUBLE, Seth shares how a rented KTM 690 Enduro R, an unfamiliar mountain road, and a series of seemingly manageable decisions combined to create a genuine survival situation. It's a story about risk, assumptions, bike condition, route choice, and how options can disappear faster than you expect.Links & ResourcesPhotos, links, and resources for this episodeMore episodes: Adventure Rider Radio and RAWSupport the show: Support ARRFollow Adventure Rider RadioInstagramFacebookAbout the PodcastSince 2014, Adventure Rider Radio has shared adventure motorcycle travel stories, Rider Skills, Deep Trouble episodes, tech and gear features, and conversations with riders from around the world.

A Solo Motorcycle Journey Across Morocco, Europe, and the Sahara Desert in Search of Freedom, Simplicity, and a Slower Way of LivingWhat happens when someone who's spent a lifetime chasing schedules, productivity, and control suddenly trades it all for the uncertainty of the open road on a motorcycle? After retiring from finance, Rob Bridges set off alone across Morocco, Europe, and the Sahara Desert on a six-month motorcycle journey—only to discover that the hardest part of the adventure wasn't the riding, but learning how to slow down.Links & ResourcesPhotos, links, and resources for this episodeMore episodes: Adventure Rider Radio and RAWSupport the show: Support ARRFollow Adventure Rider RadioInstagramFacebookAbout the PodcastSince 2014, Adventure Rider Radio has shared adventure motorcycle travel stories, Rider Skills, Deep Trouble episodes, tech and gear features, and conversations with riders from around the world.

At Mongoose Publishing HQ in Swindon, Christopher Griffen discusses Pioneer, a Traveller-adjacent RPG that swaps space opera for near-future, science-based exploration. Built with input from NASA engineer Sandy Antunes and other writers, Pioneer uses familiar Traveller mechanics but shifts focus to missions, survival, and human-versus-environment challenges rather than combat.

Eva Strehler had already learned what drew her to the road on a motorcycle: freedom, movement, and a way of living outside the usual shape of things. Then she built a sidecar for her dog, Polly, and headed east. What followed was meant to be another long motorcycle journey — through Turkey, into Iran, and across landscapes that changed as quickly as the people she met along the way. But somewhere during the trip, the journey became about something else entirely. This is a conversation about travel, companionship, risk, solitude, and the moments that quietly change the meaning of a journey while you're still inside it.

News24 Journalist, Andrew Thompson, joins John Maytham to unpack why younger generations in particular are rediscovering the appeal of delayed gratification, physical photo prints and the nostalgic ritual of shooting on film rather than scrolling through thousands of forgotten images stored in the cloud.

His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather.

Earlier this year, Russ and Jess went to visit Mongoose Publishing (who make Traveller, Paranoia, and a bunch of other awesome games) at their headquarters in Swindon. Part of that day included an interview with Mongoose CEO Matt Sprange (rhymes with 'strange'), which we're presenting here in full. Note--the audio quality isn't great in this one, as we didn't have our podcasting microphones with us, but we hope you'll bear with it as the interview itself is well worth the listen! We also made a 30-minute video about our visit, meeting the staff, touring the offices, having lunch, looking at things on walls, sitting on chairs, all sorts of things. Parts of (but not all of) this interview feature in that short documentary, which you can find here on our YouTube channel--which is also where you can find the livestreamed versions of the regular podcast.  In this interview Matt Sprange, CEO of Mongoose Publishing, discusses the company's history, flagship games like Traveller and Paranoia, creative processes, and the challenges and successes they've faced over the years. He also explains Mongoose's employee ownership approach, workplace culture, and practical benefits for staff. This full unabridged interview covers highs and lows, industry changes, AI concerns, and future plans, offering a candid, behind-the-scenes look at running an independent games publisher. Enjoy!

Speech by President Connolly at an afternoon tea celebrating Traveller culture

The Beard Gang is back at it again and this time the fellas crack open one of the most talked-about new bottles in whiskey culture — Traveller Whiskey.On this episode of Beards, Bourbon, Whiskey, Q. Lewis, Bo and Angry Principal take a deep dive into the smooth-drinking blend created through the collaboration between country music superstar Chris Stapleton and legendary master distiller Harlen Wheatley of Buffalo Trace Distillery fame.Traveller Whiskey has been making noise across the bourbon and whiskey community for its approachable flavor profile, easy sip, and crossover appeal bringing together whiskey lovers, music fans and newcomers to the brown water world. But the real question is… does it live up to the hype once the Beard Gang gets ahold of it?

A pair of specialists is tasked with investigating the kidnapping of a pop-star. Steve runs the group through a scenario from 2d6 SF Adventures: The Long Jumps by Michael Brown.

During the course of a year that saw heavy flight delays and cancellations, crowded airports and rising ticket prices and baggage fees, airlines in North America still managed to deliver stand-out passenger experiences. The JD power 2026 North America airline satisfaction study shows the overall satisfaction rate up 8 points (on a 1,000-point scale) year over year, with improvement occurring across all segments. However, as airfares have begun to skyrocket in 2026, airlines may soon find it difficult to offset high costs with great service, and customers can expect to see a lot of new fees this summer for fuel surcharges and checked bags. So, will travellers balk at higher prices or if they do travel, will they be starting their vacation in a lousy mood? In this episode of In This Economy?!, host Mike Eppel talks to Michael Taylor, senior managing director of travel, hospitality, retail and customer service at JD power, to discuss their recent findings, and what it could mean going forward. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes. You can find us:Through email at hello@thebigstorypodcast.ca Or @thebigstory.bsky.social on Bluesky

What do you do when your adventure bike is buried in sand, lying sideways on a slope, or wedged deep in a rut miles from help? In this episode, Jim talks with Clinton Smout, Adam Owens, and Chris Birch about the mindset, techniques, and recovery tools riders use when things go wrong off-road. From smart trail-side decisions and energy-saving recovery methods to simple techniques that can turn a bad situation around, this episode is packed with practical knowledge every adventure rider should hear before they need it.

When we talk about diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace, it's easy to focus on metrics, reporting, and representation targets. But what happens when the data improves — and yet employees from underrepresented groups still don't feel fully included at work? In this episode of The HR Room Podcast, we explore the latest findings from Elevate, the Inclusive Workplace Pledge led by Business in the Community Ireland. The conversation examines the gap between progress on paper and the lived experiences of employees across Irish workplaces. Mary and Dave are joined by special guest Richa Tyagi, who leads the Elevate campaign at Business in the Community Ireland. Together, they discuss how organisations can drive meaningful, structural change around inclusion, belonging and equity.   Guest Richa Tyagi — Lead, Elevate Inclusive Workplace Pledge, Business in the Community Ireland   Topics include: Why diversity data collection matters The gap between representation metrics and lived employee experience Structural barriers in recruitment, progression and leadership pathways ender representation and the challenges women face progressing to senior leadership roles Systemic barriers facing Ireland's Traveller community in education and employment Progress and challenges for LGBTQI+ inclusion in Irish workplaces The role HR leaders can play in driving organisational change and accountability Upcoming pay transparency legislation and its impact on workplace equality Why leadership ownership and evidence-based action are essential for meaningful progress   Key Takeaways for HR Leaders Collecting diversity data is important — but organisations must use it to drive action and decision-making. Inclusion must be embedded at leadership and board level, not treated as a standalone HR initiative. Psychological safety is essential if employees are to feel comfortable disclosing aspects of their identity. Organisations should examine where underrepresented groups are being filtered out of progression pathways. Structural inequality remains a major issue for Ireland's Traveller community and requires proactive action from employers. HR leaders must challenge assumptions, address bias and advocate for accountability at senior leadership level.

Motorists queueing for convoys through the Awakino Gorge on State Highway 3 are taking advantage of their idling time to chat with fellow travellers, walk their dogs or even do a spot of crocheting.

The Iran war, which began on February 28th, has disrupted air traffic routes and pushed up jet fuel prices. That much is clear. But with the war showing little sign of resolution, what is less clear is what will happen as the aviation industry grapples with inevitable fuel shortages?The disruption to aviation has been severe in the Middle East and Asia but, to date, the impact on European airlines has been relatively minimal. Flights have been cancelled and prices have risen marginally but for most, it has been a case of travelling as usual.That though could change radically and soon as jet fuel becomes scarce and the price airlines must pay for it – already 90 per cent higher than before the war began – rises even further.The industry is now talking of rationing but what might that look like?Irish Times consumer affairs correspondent Conor Pope explains.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

Clif Holland shares a father-and-son motorcycle adventure that took an unexpected turn shortly after arriving at Big Bend National Park. After a 700-mile ride to reach the start of their backcountry route, the decision to explore before staging their gear set the tone for what followed. Riding a heavily loaded BMW R1200GS on remote backroads, Clif quickly found himself facing the challenges of sand, weight distribution, and the limited margin for error on big adventure bikes, which led to DEEP TROUBLE. We talk about backcountry riding and the importance of preparation, training, and testing your setup before tackling routes like the BDR.

Ep 193 w/ Amanda Kendle - Should You Travel to Antarctica? Ethical Travel & The Cruel Reality of Wildlife TourismIn this thought-provoking episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I'm joined by Amanda Kendle from The Thoughtful Travel Podcast to unpack two of the most controversial topics in modern travel: Antarctica tourism and wildlife experiences.We dive deep into the ethical dilemma of visiting one of the most fragile places on Earth. With Antarctica losing billions of tons of ice every year and tourism numbers rising fast, is it still justifiable to go? Or are we contributing to the very destruction we claim to care about?Then we shift to wildlife tourism—an industry many travellers engage with without fully understanding the consequences. From elephant riding in Thailand to tiger encounters and zoo ethics, we explore what's really happening behind the scenes and how travel has evolved over the years.This isn't about guilt—it's about awareness. We both reflect honestly on our own past travel experiences, mistakes included, and discuss how travellers can make better, more responsible choices moving forward.If you've ever questioned the impact of your travels, this episode will challenge your perspective and help you think more critically about how you explore the world.Amanda Kendle/The Thoughtful Travel PodcastWebsite - https://www.notaballerina.comApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-thoughtful-travel-podcast/id1269489189Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3AwRGIPRytKa9Txnz1cGBK?si=644319aec60f4f92Support Winging It Travel PodcastIf you enjoyed this episode:⭐ Leave a 5-star rating or review on your podcast app☕ Support the show at buymeacoffee.com/wingingit

Episode 500 of The Courtenay Turner Podcast. My guest is Jamie Hanshaw Dyer — author, researcher, and the person I called when I finally opened the book I'd been avoiding for three years. The book is "The Shadow of the Dalai Lama: Sexuality, Magic andPolitics in Tibetan Buddhism" by Victor and Victoria Trimondi. Itis six hundred pages long. A physical copy costs around six hundreddollars. Almost no one in the English-speaking world has read it.In this conversation, Jamie and I walk through what it says. This is not a comfortable conversation. It is, I think, a necessaryone.

This of course involved the Dumarest of Terra Saga, for which Dominick and associates at Burnt City Games are working on an RPG inspired by Classic Traveller.  You can purchase many great Traveller-related products on Marc's website, Far Future Enterprises.  Our theme music, as always, is from the Speculative Machines Podcast, and is called Cadmium Red.

When the front tire starts to lose traction or the bike suddenly feels like it's about to go down, most riders react with some kind of defensive move that feels instinctively right. But is it? In this Rider Skills episode, Clinton Smout joins Jim Martin to look at what's really happening in those split-second moments when an adventure motorcycle starts to let go off-road — and why what feels like a save may not be one at all.

The Travellers depart Boughene with a cargo hold full of strange wildlife to be transplanted on another world. On the way, they land on the storm-drenched world Feri, where they are involuntarily drawn into a local conflict. 

In this episode we welcome back our friend Rob Eaglestone, to talk Traveller and especially the mysterious (to us) Galaxiad project/setting/whatever! You can find all Rob's great Traveller publications on DriveThruRPG.

Putting together the right toolkit can make all the difference when you're out riding—especially on an adventure bike, where help isn't always close by. We talk about how to build an efficient setup, from choosing what actually belongs in your kit to organizing it so it's easy to use when it matters most. The conversation covers how to prepare for unpredictable issues like flat tires, leaks, and bent or broken parts, along with the often-overlooked supplies that can save the day during a roadside or trailside repair. Along the way, Jim talks with Clinton Smout from SMART Performance Centre about building a toolkit around the jobs you're most likely to face, and we're joined by Matthew Kunz from Obsidian Adventure Gear to look at compact, bike-specific tool systems designed to keep you prepared without carrying half the garage.

Scot and Jeff discuss The Apples in Stereo with Jack Butler. Introducing the Band: Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) with guest Jack Butler. Jack is deputy editor for Free Expression, a new newsletter about politics and culture from the Wall Street Journal opinion page. Previously he was submissions editor for National Review Online. You can follow him on Twitter/x @jackbutler4815. And unless you're a 2:30 marathoner, you probably can't follow him in real life — unless he lets you.  Jack's Music Pick: The Apples in Stereo Get ready for sunshine melodies, fuzzed-out guitars, and pure pop sweetness, because we're diving into the colorful world of The Apples in Stereo. On this episode, we walk through the band's discography album by album, tracing how Robert Schneider and company blended psychedelia, power pop, and a DIY spirit into a signature sound. You might not be familiar with the band (yet), but you know the influences -- The Beatles, ELO, XTC, Pavement, Guided by Voices, The Beach Boys. We travel from the lo-fi charm of Fun Trick Noisemaker to the "space disco" feel of Travellers in Space and Time. Along the way, Scot takes the proper time to pay tribute to an all-time favorite album, New Magnetic Wonder, and we discuss the unorthodox ways the band found its way into children's programming. Plus Hilarie Sidney gets her due as an excellent and underrated singer, songwriter, and drummer.  Schneider's interest in science, space, and sound influenced the band's later work specifically, with conceptual elements and unconventional recording approaches shaping their music. New Magnetic Wonder even touts Schneider's invention of a new musical scale: the "Non-Pythagorean scale" (he's now a mathematics professor at Northern Michigan University, so it all makes sense in the end).  Throughout the years, the band kept pushing forward without losing a sense of wonder and experimentation that defined their earliest work and refined their ability to create hooks and melodies that lodge inside your brain for weeks at a time. And you can't tell the story of The Apples in Stereo without diving into the world of the Elephant 6 Recording Company, the loose collective of like-minded musicians that helped spark an indie-pop movement in the '90s. Jack takes the lead in describing this element of the show. This episode is a celebration of melody, creativity, and the joy of making something delightfully strange. It'll fill you with energy.

Mexico is one of the easiest international adventures for riders from the U.S. and Canada—close enough to reach without a major expedition, yet different enough to feel like true travel. From Baja desert tracks to mountain twisties, high country, and coastal roads, the riding is as varied as the culture, food, and landscapes. Spencer Conway has spent the past several years living in Mexico and riding more than 66,000 kilometres through 24 states. Speaking from his home in Oaxaca, he shares what makes Mexico such a compelling destination for motorcycle travel, why he stayed, what many riders miss about traveling there, and why the country offers far more depth and variety than most riders realize.

There's a side of motorcycle training almost no one talks about — the mental pressure of learning new skills in front of other riders. Why can training make you feel like you've suddenly gotten worse before you get better? Why does confidence sometimes drop even when your skills are improving? Through rider Erik Wilkinson's experience, along with insights from expert trainer Chris Birch and Monica Birch, we explore what's really happening in your mind during training — and how to manage it so you come out a stronger, more confident rider.
