This podcast is part one of my audio diary of a recent trip to Tunisia.  In this podcast I talk about two trips that I made to the Tunis Medina.  This is the old market area next to downtown Tunis, and is a UNESCO World Heritage site.  I also talk about the conference that I attended near the Tunis suburb of Carthage.

A Powerpoint slideshow of the Tunis Medina can be found here.

This podcast is a series of four audio postcards that I made in May 2008 when I went diving at the Lembeh Strait near the city of Manado on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia.  This is near the center of the Coral Triangle of Southeast Asia. They were originally published on my travelography 2.0 podcast.  Here, I have combined them into a single podcast.

Photos from the trip described here can be found on my Flickr.com site.

about 45 minutes long

This is a soundseeing (sst) tour from  the World Travel and Tourism Council Summit in Dubai (20-22 April 2008) that I attended.  It includes three elements:

1. About 5 minutes from an Intro to Dubai city tour,
2. A short and interesting segment of a presentation from the conference, and
3. A segment of the Gala Dinner, which closes with my visit to a fortune teller (entertainment for the dinner guests).

The whole presentation is about 20 minutes due to my introduction section.  The actual Dubai part is 14 minutes.

Defining Place Authenticity: My Heritage Can Beat Up Your History

This is a recording of a classroom presentation made by me in April 2008.  The entire podcast is 50+ minutes long.

Travel Geography Podcast #61

The December Travel Geography Podcast is a compilation of mini Utterz.com podcasts that I posted during my trip to Finland and Sweden.  The trip was from November 28 to December 10.  Utterz.com is a free podcasting service on which you can post unlimited mini-podcasts -- sort of like an audio Twitter.  The Utterz episodes that I have have compiled here include:

1. My first impressions of being in a place with only 4 hours of sunlite
2. A noon time walk on the University of Oulu campus to find the sun
3. Report on our post-conference field trip to Santa Claus Land at the Arctic Circle and to the World Cup Ski competition at the Ruka Ski Resort near the Russian border
4. A report on my job as a Ph.D. "Opponent" and the party that followed
5. Some thoughts while in transit back to the US, and my jetlag after returning to Arizona, and
6. A weather report update and news story about a new tourist attraction in Sweden
