Attention All Snoops With Passports: Eavesdrop on My Radio Recording Sessions

Each week, 400 public radio stations air my Travel with Rick Steves talk show for an hour. And I record about a quarter of each year’s interviews each January — in a week-long flurry when our European tour guides are in town. I absolutely love these conversations, and this week, we’re inviting all our blog friends to listen in on the raw feed. You’ll need to excuse my sometimes crude and juvenile chatter between interviews, and the quick trips to the WC when nothing’s going on. But for 24 hours scattered between today and January 17, we’ll be streaming my public radio interviews live. You can find the complete schedule (and how to join in on the conversation) at ricksteves.com/interviews.

Liz and Colin will be talking Scotland. Amir and Marijan will be dreaming out loud about Bosnia and Croatia. Fabian, Holger, and Nina will discuss Brexit and its impact on the EU. Anna will gush about how, last year, her neighborhood won the Palio in Siena not once, but twice. Maisie introduces us to contemporary German music. Ferdi will rave about Belgian taste treats. Jana will explain the Czech passion for their homegrown beer. Katka will explain why Czechs eat carp at Christmas. And Cecilia will tell the romantic story behind Italy’s beloved chocolate kisses — Baci.

So, if you’re the curious type and love talking travel, this is a fun opportunity. And if you’d rather await the finished interviews — all cleaned up and edited down to make me sound smooth as can be — you’ll hear these (and lots more) over the next year on Travel with Rick Steves, thanks to your local public radio station.

Happy travels and Happy New Year!

  1. Keep up the great work, Rick! You’ve been an inspiration for me to discover more about this beautiful world — even if I can’t financially go to Europe at this time (well, mostly because I never traveled far before, especially via air). Thanks a million, Happy New Year, and Bon Voyage!

  2. Rick and fellow Ricknicks,

    Your tireless hard work is deeply appreciated by all your loyal followers.

    Please keep up the good work that you do.

    Sorry I can’t make it to the travel and tour festivities this year but I’ll watch live from your website.

    I’m looking at tours of Eastern Europe for late this summer.

    Thanks!
