Why Make a Podcast about Travel History?

Travel is in a weird place. What better time to look back to see how we got here—and where we might go?

Hi! We’re Brian and Kaleena, the voices behind Yesterday in Travel. Yesterday in Travel is a podcast about moments in travel history—and how the travel industry may develop in the future.

Why start a podcast about travel history?

• We love podcasts
• We love travel
• Travel (as we know it) could soon change in a huge way—and it should

Our goal is to create a dialogue about the future of travel. What better way to do that than to look first to the past?
