It's time: We're starting a podcast to help you dive even deeper into everything you love about travel. And you'll never guess what it's called.
The Thrifty Traveler Podcast officially begins next week. Subscribe now and watch for the first episode dropping next Thursday on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts!
For now, here's a quick sneak peek at what's coming:
Hosted by yours truly (hi, I'm Gunnar Olson), I'll be joined by our executive editor Kyle Potter each and every week to discuss the ins and outs of finding cheap flights, the best ways to earn and redeem points and miles, and all things travel – and why we love it just as much as you do. Over time, we're planning to bring in other guests – our far savvier Thrifty Traveler colleagues as well as outside experts – to chat about the airline industry, flight prices, points and miles, and more.
So join us (virtually) inside the Thrifty Traveler studio as new episodes drop every Thursday morning. Here's a look at some of what's in store in the weeks to come:
- How to maximize your Delta SkyMiles (to fly economy or Delta One)
- How we each planned trips to Africa to go on safari using points and miles
- The tricks we use to find all the deals we send to Thrifty Traveler Premium members
- Why our founder and CEO Jared started Thrifty Traveler … and what has changed in the 10 years (!!!) since
- How and when to book flights and hotels in order to avoid devaluations (here's looking at you, Hyatt…)
- Going head-to-head in a fantasy-style draft of our favorite airline mileage program
- How I almost ruined my honeymoon when my last name appeared on my boarding pass three times, among some other unthinkable travel mistakes…
- And so much more!
