    A great list with some incredible podcasts. Honored to be a part of it, and we’re only getting started. September is our #PodcastGluttony month, and we’re releasing 1 new podcast every single weekday. 5x/wk, 22 total for September. Hope you like it!

    I should also say that Jason from Zero to Travel Podcast joins me as a cohost in many episodes, and he’s absolutely fantastic. I can’t say enough good things about him and his show. Give it a listen, and you’ll be hooked!

    Thank you so much for including me here – I’m honored! I’m glad the podcast is helping people travel. If you enjoy the EPOP podcast – Trav and I stop by each other’s shows quite a bit, it’s a ton of fun. We’ll keep doing our best to help you travel the world on your terms with the podcasts and our new community for digital nomads called http://locationindie.com/

    Cheers,
    Jason
