About this listen

On this episode of “Out of Office: A Travel Podcast,” the boys celebrate the pod’s 200th episode with travel icon Rick Steves! Kiernan chats with Rick about his latest book “On the Hippie Trail: Istanbul to Kathmandu and the Making of a Travel Writer” and about how keeping a journal can make one into a keener observer of culture.

Rick’s philosophy of travel is that if you haven’t come back changed, you didn’t do it right. This interview will leave you changed.

Plus, a new artistic saint!
