NEW YORK, April 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Meredith
Corporation's (NYSE: MDP) Travel + Leisure announces
that the second season of its Let's Go Together podcast
launches today, with new episodes debuting every Wednesday. Over
the course of the upcoming season, award-winning travel expert and
host Kellee Edwards will continue the series where it
left off by sharing more conversations with a diverse group of
travelers about the journeys that changed their lives. This season
will also explore the cultures of some of Travel + Leisure's
favorite destinations through the personal stories of inspiring
people who know them well.
In the premiere episode, available today, the openly
gay former mayor of Houston,
Annise Parker, talks about how she
led the capital of space exploration to become one of the nation's
most diverse cities. Upcoming episodes include guests and topics
such as the story of Jin Prugsawan, a female park ranger
striving in a traditionally male-dominated profession; an interview
with Billy Mitchell, aka Mr. Apollo,
the tour guide and historian of the famed Apollo Theater in Harlem,
who shares his decades-long experience watching it become a
cultural center for Black performers and transforming Harlem
into the energetic and diverse neighborhood it is today; and
actress and comedian Margaret Cho
talking about her hometown of L.A., traveling as an Asian American,
and more.
Kellee Edwards said, "I love that our first season of Let's
Go Together stayed true to the name of the show by bringing
together a diverse community of travelers to share their
stories—ones never told, but that reveal increasingly familiar
experiences. People felt seen and it has been beautiful to know
you're not alone by normalizing these stories in a way that a
travel podcast has not before. I'm looking forward to season 2 and
expanding the discussion through additional lenses."
Season 2 of Let's Go Together will feature more than 25
episodes. In addition to host Kellee Edwards, several
Travel + Leisure editors will join the series as special guest
hosts for select episodes, including Travel + Leisure Editor
in Chief Jacqui Gifford and Travel +
Leisure Digital Content Director Deanne
Kaczerski, among others.
Let's Go Together is available on Apple
Podcasts, Spotify, and on your favorite listening
