PSA: Narrative travel podcasts are shifting towards forgotten histories
Noticed a surge in episodes exploring the layered past of destinations beyond guidebook summaries. This style has completely altered how I engage with places, like seeking out oral history projects in rural areas.

What's interesting is how this mirrors a broader cultural push for depth over convenience. In an era of algorithmic travel recommendations, seeking out forgotten histories feels like a quiet rebellion against curated experiences. It turns tourism into a form of participatory archaeology, where listeners become temporary custodians of stories.
