Ep 169 - From Politics to Paradise to the Voyascape Network: David Brodie's Journey

Author: Voyascape Media December 23, 2024 Duration: 1:08:13

Welcome to Episode 169 with David Brodie. As you may have realised from the previous episode, David is the founder of the Voyascape Network, which I recently joined. David joined me in a studio in Vancouver to talk about his travel stories, his Travel in 10 travel podcast and the vision for Voyascape.

In this episode, James Hammond interviews David Brodie, the founder of Voyascape Network, discussing his extensive travel experiences and insights. David shares stories from his early travel influences, his career path that integrated travel, and highlights from his year-long backpacking adventure across Southeast Asia, Fiji, and the Cook Islands.

He also delves into his experiences with the Ship for World Youth program in Japan, cultural insights from the Solomon Islands and Tahiti, and his time living and working in Japan. The conversation is rich with travel tips, personal anecdotes, and reflections on the transformative power of travel.

In this conversation, David shares his experiences living in Tokyo, the cultural shocks he faced, and the unique working environment in Japan. He discusses the impact of his travel podcast, the innovative PR campaigns he led, and the evolution of travel podcasting. The conversation highlights the transformative power of travel and the future of the Voyescape network, focusing on creating engaging and educational content for travellers.

Voyascape Podcast Network


Every Monday, James Hammond sets off with a microphone, and the resulting audio feels less like a planned production and more like you’ve been handed a pair of headphones in the middle of an adventure. Winging It Travel Podcast, from Voyascape Media, is built on the idea that the most compelling stories aren't found in guidebooks but in the unplanned moments and raw reactions that happen along the way. You’ll hear the crunch of gravel underfoot on a remote trail, the bustling chaos of a foreign market, and the genuine conversations that unfold when plans fall apart. This approach transforms each episode into a deeply personal journal entry, documenting not just places, but the cultural and human textures that define them. It’s a documentary of feeling as much as fact. While the soundscapes are cinematic, the heart of the podcast lies in its authenticity-the slight breathlessness from hiking up a volcano, the surprise at a strange local delicacy, the quiet reflection after a long day navigating unfamiliar streets. The journey covers the societal layers and personal transformations that travel sparks, making it about more than destinations. Tune in weekly to find yourself completely immersed, feeling as if you’re right there beside James, figuring it all out as you go.
