044 - Chris takes us to Istanbul
During the holiday season Craig and Linda are taking a short break and handing the reins over to some fellow podcasters. This week Chris Christensen from the Amateur Traveler talks about Istanbul: where to stay, what to do and what to eat whilst there. A fitting topic since St Nicholas is himself a native of Turkey; not sure when he moved north.
Chris mentions some previous episodes from his show, here are the links:
- Istanbul featuring the carpet-seller soundscape
- An older episode; an interview about Turkey
- He also has several video podcasts featuring Turkey.
Spending a fortnight in Turkey — Bursa and Istanbul — was a refreshing time for regular hosts Craig and Linda during 2007 and we plan to head back again twice in 2008; once in February and once for the great ANZAC pilgrimage to Gallipoli in April. We’re sure to be taking some of Chris’s not-in-the-guidebook suggestions this time around!
The Amateur Traveler is spelt with one L and features commentary and interviews about worldwide destinations. Each episode comprises of travel news, a feature piece, internet resources and a community section. Informative, interesting and personal, the Amateur Traveler is made with the love of travel in mind. We’re all members of the Travel Podcast Network.

You know, I’ve been watching his video podcasts and I had no idea he also had an audio podcast.
I’ll have to subscribe to that.
