96: Should You Start a Travel Podcast in 2026?

Come to a Merry Travel Creator Christmas Party! https://forms.fillout.com/t/kPeoLQcKw6us

It feels like everyone and their aunt has a podcast and should you start one too?

Today, I’m sitting down with the guy who’s been podcasting since before most creators even knew what an RSS feed was.

This episode is pure gold for content creators, travel creators, and anyone who’s ever said, “I want to start a podcast… but where do I even begin?”

Today, I’m joined by David Brodie, long-time travel podcaster, founder & CEO of the Voyascape Podcast Network, and the literal grandfather of travel podcasting.

We dive into:

• How to tell better stories as a travel creator
• How to research destinations in a way that stands out
• The biggest shift in podcasting since 2005
• Should travel creators use video?
• Podcaster mistakes David sees constantly
• How to monetize a travel podcast beyond sponsorships

Including:
• podcast networks
• tours
• memberships
• community building
• digital products
• high-ticket offers
• affiliate marketing
• and the hyper-local creator strategy that blew my mind
