Down in Florida this week, picking up a bit of the local heat and humidity. Recorded in the bathroom of the Marriott Courtyard in Oldsmar, FL, somewhere between Tampa and Clearwater, we talk about how travel skills are passed from parents to children, spotting some famous people in ORD and LAX, rare emotions in the Frequent Traveler screening line, and a review of travel podcasts. Also, the final results of our Worst US Airport poll. Here’s a direct link to the podcast file

I never really thought about your point of our parents influencing our carrer choices. My dad also traveled and I am a second generation bag hauler.
My favorite story of his was once he was traveling with a co-worker. When they arrived at their destination the client asked “How was you flight?” my Dad’s co-worker replied “It was so rough I had to put my wedding ring back on.”
I remember my first year traveling how I counted the remaining flights and connectons till I reached any sort of medallion status. Now years later I don’t that much attention to it until it’s vacation time.
I appreciated the mention on the show even if I did not make it to your top two shows. I will work on that 🙂

Chris – Sorry that I didn’t have room to play some of the Amateur Traveler. I burned too much time on that segment explaining my 2×2 matrix 🙂 Send me a promo or a good snippet and I’ll include it in my next podcast.

Gary –
I popped over to your website this weekend. Thanks for the cross-link. I’ll listen to your show and give you a shout-out in the next couple of shows.
Thanks for the comments and thanks for listening.

Love your show and how each bathroom sounds a little different.
You mentioned other podcasts on traveling.
If you have not been to Kyoto Podcast listen….Just
once, you might get hooked. Excellent audio and use of topics.
To bring you up to speed, it’s about an Australian
who was kicked out of Japan and now does a podcast
about Japan in Austraila. Love the way he speaks and
his use of pictures and special “originals” like you do in the
bathroom. Keep up the good work.

Here’s a podcast from a different point of view. http://joepodcaster.libsyn.com/
THe corresponding blog is http://www.myflightblog.com/archives/000155.php
It features Joe Dion who is a pilot with a major US airline. He takes along a recording device and collects stories from fellow pilots and flight attendants. It’s one of the first podcasts that I regularly listened to and unfortunately, there aren’t enough of them for me.
It’s great to hear about travel from the point of view of the airline folks.

Just listened to a couple of his podcasts — great stuff. Nice interviews and great production values. I’ll mention his podcast in my next podcast.
Thanks for the pointer,

Mark,
In which industry did the term “repurposed” originate? This is the first time I have heard of this term…
Allan
Good question. Not sure where the term originated, but I first ran into it in the web business in the late ’90’s when many media companies “repurposed” content from their newspapers to populate their web sites. The subtext was that material created expressly for the web was better/more appropriate for that medium than content originally written for a magazine or newspaper and then put on the web site.
