Well, it didn’t take Lonely Planet long to jump on my favorite bandwagon! I love the podcasting….And Don George is the host!

Lonely Planet Travelcasts

Don’t worry, if you haven’t heard of podcasts, they explain it to you. So far they’ve got two up, one on Southern Thailand in recovery with Rafael Wlodarski , and the other on St Petersburg.

I listened to Don’s interview with Simon Richmond about St Petersburg. These podcasts are great for travelers who haven’t been to the destination yet, because Don asks questions that set the scene for what the traveler can expect. He also asks the destination expert what three things are a must see for someone traveling to the location right now. He also asks for a surprising travel suggestion from the expert, as well as how to prepare for a trip there, among other travel guide info.

The podcasts will be updated weekly. Lonely Planet also explains how you can subscribe through iTunes, as well as getting their RSS feed.

I love the newness of this. And it keeps in line with the service of Lonely Planet’s other products. Good work, Don!
