The Art of Airfare Feat. Thrifty Traveler's Kyle Potter & Gunnar Olson

You there, dummy with some degree of affluence and PTO to spare: You don't know diddly squat about travel.

But Kyle Potter and Gunnar Olson, the team behind The Thrifty Traveler Podcast? It's their full-time job to scout for travel deals, report on industry developments, and, generally, make their audience smarter globe hoppers. We got the boys on the pod ahead of their big live recording session this Friday at the Parkway Theater in Minneapolis (more info here) to make our audience, the aforementioned dummies, savvier travelers as summer vacation season heats up.

Before any of that: We take listeners on a trip through What I Learned in Racket, where the riffed upon topics include...

• Every Bowl at Baba’s Hummus House, Ranked
• ‘I Felt Like I Was There 90% of the Time’: An Oral History of the Dinkytowner Café
• What Are People For? The Imperiled Boundary Waters, Late MN Nature Writer Paul Gruchow, and Me.

This week's episode is brought to you by the Minnesota Antiquarian Book Fair.
