About The Show

As the flagship show for Now Boarding Radio, we promise not to disappoint! Largely focused around subjects of travel, with 3 co-hosts who jab each other over their travel adventures, good or bad, wise and incredibly idiotic, perceived notions and epiphanies, but always influenced by the redeeming essence of a brave new step to be taken via the way of travel. Guests will be highly regular, as well as call-ins very requested. Certain segments will be recurring, such as trivia, new place information, and installments of half real and fictional stories based upon their own experiences and the characters they’ve met along the way.

After being removed from the FM dial at the end of 2018, the boys have returned to the air for their 6th season via podcast and founded Now Boarding Radio.  Check out all of our weekly episodes below.

Meet The Travelers

Dron Dronovavitch

The Hawaiian Lion

The Caucasian Persuasion

Born and raised in Columbia County and has always wanted to see the world firsthand. With this, adventure has lead him to explore countries and cultures in 5 separate continents, run and cycle countless miles on each, climb and trek paths that should and shouldn’t be accessed, and somehow dodge the consequence of society.

Moved to Hawaii

2018-2019

Born and raised in Hudson and has had an intrigue to do the impulsive, which has developed into a crazed possession for travel. He has visited 5 continents within one year before relocating to Asia, where he has spent the last 6 years. He wishes to get to 7 continents very shortly, w/o any regard of cost, conscious, or impending doom. He has created the tagline: “Live the adventure..grab life by the tusk!”
