Hi there, it's Lale Arakoglu, the host of Condi Nass Travelers podcast, Women Who Travel.

I'm here with our executive producer, Stephanie Kariuki.

Hi, Lale, so good to be here.

Stephanie and I, we've been talking a lot about the new twists and turns the show is taking.

The team has been working really hard at honing in on the heart of the show.

Travel stories from women that make

you feel something. Stories that change your perspective, that have depth, and sometimes stories that

just make you laugh really hard. A big part of women who travel has always been to claim space

that has traditionally been taken up by male voices. And that's still true today. And our mission moving

forward with this show is to bring to life the travel experiences that you might not have heard

while helping you figure out where to go next. So when you listen to women who travel, you not

only support our show, you support the vision behind it to make travel accessible and exciting

for all. New episodes come out every Thursday, so make sure you follow women who travel wherever

you get your podcast.

which is very exciting. You can pre-order it wherever you pre-order books, and I'm going to go

on book tour, which is really exciting, and I promise it won't be boring, and it will be very

fun. And you can get tickets for that at Kelsey McKinckenny book.com. The other thing is that if you

are desperate for gossip and you are sliding into our DMs, like why aren't there more episodes?

Please, I need more episodes. Please, my family is dying. If I don't have any more gossip,
