Our take on Personal Landscapes podcast

Personal Landscapes is an excellent travel podcast by Ryan Murdock. He is an author, an avid reader, a traveller and a member of the Royal Geographical Society. He has a great passion for travel literature, and his pursuit of writing it has led him to many different places on the planet. He has travelled to 74 countries in over 20 years, including some of the world's most marginal areas. Some of the harshest places he has visited include North Korea, Tibet, Mongolia, and Chad, where he travelled on a dugout canoe, Russian Jeep, horse, motorcycle, camel, and foot. In Personal Landscapes, he reviews travelling books and talks to original writers, publishers, and travellers worldwide to get the stories behind their great works.
