    We take on the New York Times List once again. We discuss where we've been, where we'd like to go and where people should go. We also talk about the list's missteps, overlooked destinations, and whether this edition has a sneaky political agenda.

    S2E2: Detroit

    S1E26: Australia and New Zealand with Rachel Grandi

    S1E6: Oh, Canada: A Tribute to Our Neighbor to the North
