It's been a rollercoaster week here at Tripology Podcast. We're thrilled to announce we won Best Travel & Adventure Podcast at the 2025 Independent Podcast Awards! Spotify then hit us with a false copyright claim and blocked our episodes! We share the stories behind the chaos and discuss what it's like being independent creators.

Hostel Common Room returns with a listener who's about to embark on a 2-year backpacking trip and wants to know the best way to meet like-minded travellers. Tune in for our top travel tips on how to make friends whilst travelling.

This week's Tales of a Trip is not to be missed, as we hear from a well-travelled entrepreneur whose experiences and reflections will spark your wanderlust. Check out his fabulous clothing brand below!
