Description

Join Roads & Kingdoms and host Nathan Thornburgh for this evolving travel podcast, currently mostly on hiatus. Archives include long boozy interviews around the world 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.

Really fun Podcast
Love how the hosts travel around and talk to people. If more people did this, America (and the world) would be much less divided. Fun and informative!
