Out of Office is a travel podcast hosted by us, Ryan Davis and Kiernan Schmitt. From early childhood, we were each infected with a serious case of wanderlust (among other things.) We define travel broadly, from local day trips to high-flyin' overseas adventures. Every episode, we dig into one topic—ranging from the serious to the silly, the practical to the outlandish—and give advice on how to get... more

Goes to Marbella, can't pronounce it
This has quickly become one of my top 10 podcasts. I have been nomading my way through South America since December 2025 and in preparation I looked up podcasts and discovered OoO. It has been useful in my trip planning. Although I learned in Buenos Aires that you can’t always trust Ryan’s restaurant recommendations. But I love the banter between these two, despite Kiernan’s obvious obsession with Ryan’s sexuality and his strange desire for Judy’s attention and affection. But all jokes aside I l... more
Ryan and Kiernan’s OOO Podcast is a perfect fix for my always dreaming of travel brain! I enjoy the structure of the podcast (banter, substance, extras) and the humor woven throughout (1/3 witty, 1/3 silly and 1/3 awkward). The analogies of “prepare for take off” and “the last stop” keep to the theme of the podcast and, when it’s time, I find myself reciting it along with them!Thank you for adding so many places to my travel bucket list and continuing to educate us on the places and cultures of... more
Love the pod. Love the references to Catholicism bc that was how I was raised. I doubt at this point in my life I’ll do much traveling in SouthAmerica so Ryan’s trips don’t interest me very much. Europe and National parks for me.
I’d love to hear about Keirnan’s cruise to Alaska and his trip to London with his mom.
I hate to say this because it will be dismissed out of hand but I really enjoy the show when they talked about travel but it was a huge turn off that they had to be political and take jab at Trump almost every episode. I was looking for travel podcasts to take my mind off of things but I do not need the added commentary about politics, this would be the same if they were taking shots at Biden, so I removed them from my library and will look for a podcast that sticks to travel.
Bonus - I found ... more
