This week’s podcast is recorded in the bathroom of the Oldsmar, FL Marriott. In the midst of a bunch of work and a tough travel itinerary, why am I surprised that I just can’t get into the holiday spirit? A huge snowstorm blowing through Chicago threatens to strand me in Memphis — until another traveler suggests driving the 550 miles home. And a Classic Travel Story from a former road warrior about finding love in a hotel bar. Here’s a direct link to the podcast file.
Here are the show notes from TravelCommons podcast #25:
I just noticed that iTunes has a new section for podcast reviews.
Travelcommons was (of course) my first review. After I posted it I recieved a message page saying that iTunes would have to “review the review” before it would be posted within iTunes.
We’ll see how long that takes.
Meanwhile, thought I’d send you a copy.
Keep up the great podcasts, and happy (hopefully travel-free) holiday weekend!
REVIEW:
Remember this guy’s name (Mark Peacock), because I’d be willing to bet that as Independent Podcasting listening audiences continue to grow, he’ll emerge as one of the top personalities in the genre.
I’ve been downloading his podcasts since early spring, and although I’ve picked up a ton of great travel tips and (even as a seasoned “road warrior” myself) have learned a great deal, this isn’t the reason that Travelcommons is my favorite podcast. It’s all about the delivery:
It’s just the way he tells a story, his effortless wit and flawless comic timing will have you smiling no matter what kind of travel week you’re experiencing.
I pop in the earbuds and suddenly Travelcommons has me smiling from the back of the longest security line at LAX, or laughing out loud from a center seat in coach.
Download and episode and you’ll be hooked.
