In Which Travelocity Asks Me to Blether About One of My Favorite Places
The Internet café’s air conditioning was on full blast, making me wish that I was wearing more than shorts, sandals, and a t-shirt. Jen and I were in Tulum, Mexico on our honeymoon and had stopped in to check email. Buried amongst various messages from friends, family, and Nigerian businessmen was an email whose subject line read: Travelocity Podcast Interview. I clicked on it.
A few weeks later and back at home, I pulled on my Gore-tex raincoat and walked up the street and into the local CBC radio station.
“Uh,” I said, “I’m hear to record an interview.” They knew what I was talking about and showed me to a recording studio. A technician arranged for the international phone call from the interviewer to be routed to my mic.
And so, this week, I made my podcast debut on Travelocity’s Window Seat blog. Specifically, I answered some questions about the Mayan Riviera and talked about some of the places we recommend on our Gulch Guides for their Podcast Episode 4: Paradise. You can also scroll down for the specific section on the Mayan Riviera to hear the segment which features me. I’m also really happy to report that technology exists to edit out all of my “uh’s” and “ums.” Well, most of them at any rate.
Thanks again to Travelocity and the people at LA Podsquad for the opportunity. Here are some specific sections of this website that were relevant to the podcast:
