It's been a while since I've published a solo episode of the Travel Writing Podcast, so what better time than now? In a year that has seen huge growth and recognition for Intrepid Times and our writers, we've also witnessed yet more attacks on the importance and validity of both travel and writing. So let's take this time, when normal life seems to suspend itself in so much of the world, and ask ourselves a few tough questions.

A huge thank you to all our wonderful podcast guests, and I'm so sorry that just a couple of names rattled off my tongue as I blitzed through that segment. And thank you to everyone who is here, listening, reading, and writing. What you are doing matters, even when it doesn't feel like it.
