The Crossroads Travel Podcast: Recent Episodes

jacob bonardi

Our goal is to inform our listeners about the many different places to travel, along with the many different places to train jiu jitsu. Mixing jiu jitsu and traveling is our reason to try and share our long form conversations based around topics that not only entertain but inform the listener about a certain people, places, or times in history. We want to be interactive with our audience, and grow a community that welcomes all people who want to push themselves mentally or physically and see the world from a whole new perspective. travel around with us to the next crossroads

Come into the van and listen to us start to work out the kinks and get comfortable with our microphone set up inside the van.

You may hear a little bit of background hum - that's the vent fan on at full blast - 

This podcast was recorded in a chevy astrovan on the last day of July and it was 92 degrees outside here in south Florida. Please forgive the hum of the fan or any other audio faults this will have. 

This was a definite trial run with the audio and how comfortable we can get inside the van recording a podcast
