“This Week in Travel” Visits San Francisco
Tales Told From The Road publisher, Dick Jordan, found a nice online surprise awaiting him when he arrived home after dining out with friends on Saturday evening: An invitation to spend Sunday afternoon at the Four Seasons Hotel in San Francisco with a star-studded cast of travel writers recording the “This Week in Travel” podcast.

Instead of following the show’s usual format that begins with a review of top travel news stories and ends with tips for travelers, co-hosts Chris Christensen (Amateur Traveler.com) and Jen Leo (JenLeo.com) moderated a round-table discussion between theses six guests:
- Jodi Ettenberg of Legalnomads.com and author of The Food Traveler’s Handbook
- David Lytle, Executive Editor at Fest300.com
- Ann Hilton and her husband, San Francisco Chronicle Travel Editor, Spud Hilton
- Dick Jordan of Tales Told From The Road
- Don George, Editor at Large and Book Review Columnist for National Geographic Traveler magazine, Special Features Editor and Blogger for Gadling.com, Editor of Geographic Expedition’s online magazine, Wanderlust: Literary Journeys for the Discerning Traveler, author-editor of ten travel books, and co-chair of the annual Book Passage Travel Writers and Photographers Conference.
Listen in on the lively discussion between Dick Jordan and these “travel illuminate,” as Chris Christensen refers to them.
(Although this episode of “This Week in Travel” is audio-only, during most shows co-hosts Gary Arndt, Chris Christensen and Jen Leo, joined by a special guest, broadcast from multiple locations around the globe via live streaming video in a Google+ Hangout on Air; after the broadcast ends, the show is available for viewing on YouTube and also as a audio podcast. You can subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or, better yet, listen to the show with the “This Week in Travel” iPhone app, as Dick Jordan does while working out at the gym.)
