Podcast #105: Do You Remember The First Time

Welcome to Episode 105 of my “Travel Tales From Beyond The Brochure” podcast.

This episode is the first example of something new I’m going to develop – storytelling vignettes. Three or four little pieces, connected only by the vaguest of theme, telling little stories about my travel past that are too short for a full episode. Over time I hope they’ll develop and become much more ‘storylike’ rather than what feel like 5-10 minute podcast extracts.

The three vignettes this time are:

  • My first international backpacking adventure (1994)
  • My first backpacker hostel experience (2012 or maybe not)
  • My first flight (1986)

You can listen via the feed above, or via Spotify, or on your podcast app of choice. Let me know if it isn’t, by the way, and I’ll see what I can do. In addition, a PDF transcript of this episode is available.

As always, if you have anything to say about the topic, or indeed about my podcasting in general, leave a comment or let me know. I now have a newsletter you can subscribe to, containing extra content, and it’s where I’ll be mentioning future podcast episodes if you want to make your own contribution.

I also now have a Patreon! If you like what you hear, and want to access exclusive content (or just to show your appreciation), then head on over to my page and donate to me!

I wish to thank my penpal Jelena for the introduction and for her contribution in vignette one. In addition. during the episode, I promote the Deck Of Many Aces actual-play D&D podcast.
