TravelAge West is excited to announce the launch of a new Humans of Travel podcast spinoff series: Humans in the Hot Seat.

Each month, Executive Editor Emma Weissmann will be sitting down with a travel pro for a condensed, Humans of Travel-style interview. These five- to 10-minute episodes will be released in the Humans of Travel feed during the weeks between full-length episodes.

If you've ever wanted a crash course in business from a trendsetting travel advisor, or to get into the minds of the seasoned vets and future leaders of our industry, make sure you're subscribed to the main Humans of Travel podcast page to be in the know for when we release new episodes.
