THE NOW BOARDING TRAVEL SHOW
Latest Episodes
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.
