Episode notes

Noelle King: I tend to travel when I have another reason to be in the place as well. Agnes Callard: A lot of times we kind of shoot ourselves in the foot because we travel to places with a pretty high anticipation of exactly what's going to happen. Patrick Boyd: The parrot is on my shoulder along with a small monkey.

🎵 Now that I’m away, I wish I had stayed. 🎵 Vox’s Allie Volpe explains why travel feels like such a mess right now (and how to make it a bit better). And the New Yorker’s Agnes Callard makes the case against travel altogether.

This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Patrick Boyd, and hosted by Noel King.
