  • Rich, immersive and inspiring

    I love this podcast. Indeed, it’s inspired me to become a full time vagabond myself.

    In addition to the sheer fascination of Palle’s travels, I appreciate his humility, humanity and humour.

    What’s so powerful is the sense in which you travel WITH Palle rather than simply hearing about things after they happen. He’ll often have to stop mid-sentence talking to us to engage with someone who’s right there in front of him. This makes it feel lively, vibrant and immersive.

    Keep up the amazing work ... more

  • Thanks for joining me on my commute!

    I am from America but I live in Bandung, Indonesia. It’s a city of about 5 million people in West Java with all the crazy traffic that you would image in a large SE Asian city. I’ve got a long commute on my motorbike to work everyday and listening to Palle is a great way to take my mind away from all the traffic and noise (while still paying attention to the road of course!). I’ve been listening to his podcasts for months now and it never gets old. Great stuff Palle, thanks for joining me on my ... more

  • Masterful travel storytelling

    The Radio Vagabond is definitely one of the best travel podcasts out there. I enjoy being transported to another place & time through Palle's adventures while I'm cleaning my house or walking the dog. The sound quality is superb, so you feel like you're right there with him, and each episode is tightly edited. Best of all, he highlights a wide variety of historical and cultural issues, and the guests he finds offer unique and compelling perspectives. Well done, Palle!

  • A fresh take on travel

    I listen to a lot of different travel type podcasts. I heard him being interviewed on Zero to Travel and I knew I had to check out this show. I find his content and unique but with just enough “normal.” I really appreciate the sound quality, the interviews with regular people, and the street sounds laced in. I find certain podcasts so formulaic that I stop listening to them or tune out- not an issue here. I value the spontaneity and the fresh perspectives.
