#2.10 How did Lonely Planet change the way we travel?

This week, we’re bringing you a conversation with Lonely Planet co-founder Tony Wheeler! Tony joins the show to tell the story of the company’s founding and to talk about how guidebooks have changed the way we travel. He also reminisces about the “Hippie Trail” across Asia in the 1970s and tells us about the strangest place he’s ever been.

Plus, listen up for our latest language lesson, in which our producer Artemis learns a beautiful and meaningful phrase in Czech.

Next week, we’ll be off for a quick Spring Break! We’ll be back on April 7 with the penultimate episode of Season 2.

Thank you so much for listening!
