The Trip

Join Roads & Kingdoms and host Nathan Thornburgh for this evolving travel podcast, currently on hiatus in 2023. Archives include long boozy global interviews and Anthony Bourdain-led deep dives. Always, though, beats have been by Dan the Automator, artwork by Daisy Dee, show art by Edel Rodriguez. All advertising proceeds go to NYC's Let Us Breathe Fund for which this show has raised thousands, even in hiatus. So thank you for listening.
