This week on Out of Office: A Travel Podcast, Kiernan talks with Amy Virshup, the travel editor of the New York Times. They dive deep into the paper’s “52 Places to Go in 2020” list and discuss destinations that didn’t quite make the cut. Plus, Amy discusses the role of photography in bringing the list to life and why the Times will no longer have a “52 Places Traveler” column.

Things we talked about in today’s podcast:
