Why We Wander is a bi-weekly podcast hosted by Shannon Keating and Tamara Walker, co-founders of The Wandering Scholar. We talk about all things travel: the places people go, the experiences that have transformed their lives, and how the travel landscape is evolving to meet the demands of a changing world. We also feature interviews with founders, documentarians, boundary pushers and advocates - people leading the charge of transforming the who, how, and why of travel.
Defined by your career? Ready to try a new hobby or job? Looking to be inspired? This weekly podcast shares stories of people who have found work-life balance and self-worth beyond just their job title. Rabiah Coon, a marketing manager, standup comic, writer and non-profit volunteer talks with guests about the pursuit of passions and hobbies, or work that reflects our values. Through guest's stories, listeners are reminded that life is more than work.
