Travel before the internet.
If you travelled before smartphones, this will feel familiar. If you didn't, you're in for a treat.
The Tour Leaders is an oral history podcast told by the people who lived it. Each episode is a conversation with someone who was out on the road in the 80s, 90s or early 2000s, leading tours or travelling independently long before GPS, TripAdvisor or smartphones existed.
These are stories about overland travel, cultural collisions, near misses, unlikely friendships, things going sideways far from home, and the kind of improvisation that shaped a generation of travellers.
Not travel tips. Not destination guides. Just real stories from real people, told honestly.
