Traveler's Journal
These syndicated two-minute radio spots are a little light on content, but a good way to get an overview of travel destinations. Read the text or hear a Real Audio recording of programs. Topics (many based on European travel) range from "Weimar: Europe's City of Culture" to "Fight or Flight," on the tribulations of airlines.
