When both his popular culture podcast and long-term relationship come to an end, journalist Brendan finds he has the time — and freedom — to pursue his dream: a travel podcast where he goes places and learns about them by getting invited to a stranger’s house for dinner. A friend joins him at each destination and they drink, dance, and eat their way from Montréal to Mexico City, often learning as ... more

  • Is this dead?

    This was my favorite podcast for so long because it was as if I were being taken along with Brendan to all of these different places and meeting with these different people. I think, if I’m remembering right, the last episode was where Brendan was like “I’m going to go travel but I’ll be back” and I’ve been waiting ever since 😭. It’s been frustrating getting notifications *for this podcast* only to find that it’s to redirect to *another* podcast like— please just tell us whether this one is dea... more

  • Strong idea, disappointing execution

    I love the concept for this series, it had lots of potential. Unfortunately it’s a very American execution, with a host seemingly far more interested in himself and trying to be witty than in the actual people he interviews overseas. This might appeal to Americans who’ve barely traveled or who are afraid to, but seasoned travelers may be disappointed by how shallow and cliched this all feels.

  • Kept My Attention

    I loved every episode. The trips to all of the cities in the first season made me feel like I was there and made me want to go. I didn’t think I was going to like the second season because Brendon wasn’t really traveling. BUT, I was wrong. All of the contributors that he interviewed were AMAZING!! Love this show and I hope more is coming.
