For over a decade, Speaking of Travel® With Marilyn Ball has been a space for thoughtful conversation about how we move through the world. Host Marilyn Ball sits down with a remarkable range of voices-from historians and conservation leaders to musicians and everyday adventurers-to explore travel as a force for connection and understanding. These aren't simple destination guides; they're deep dives into the stories that shape places and the people dedicated to preserving them. In each episode, you'll hear firsthand accounts that reveal how journeys, both big and small, can bridge cultural divides and inspire a greater sense of stewardship for our planet. This podcast delves into the personal journals and shared experiences that remind us why exploration matters, especially after a period of profound global change. Tune in for authentic narratives that go far beyond the itinerary, focusing on the meaningful encounters and responsible practices that define transformative travel. Marilyn’s genuine curiosity fosters conversations that feel like listening in on a chat between old friends, all centered on how our travels impact the world and ourselves.
