Hiroshima's First Annual PCR-Palooza (w/JJ Walsh)

Sustainable travel consultant JJ Walsh (and everyone else in Hiroshima) gets a free PCR test! Here's hoping this saliva-filled undertaking amounts to more than just spitting into the wind.

Ollie recommends our first ever Fukushima based river cruise, with some pretty interesting side effects.

Bobby recommends a Ramadan cruise that should make things WAYYYYY easier for all of our practicing Muslim listeners.
