  • Trevor is a wet blanket

    Even the free (no annual fee) show used to be very good when Sam and Robert hosted it. Over time it became watered down and more vague.

Maybe with the right co-host it might work but without super interesting and useful content like best resources used for travel hacking, the show isn’t very interesting. Listen to the Travel Horror Stories episode 15 an... more

The podcast is always quite entertaining, and I can’t wait each week for the new episode. Their premium content on Patreon is also well worth the fee. I make more points than I ... more
