Any recent travel shows or podcasts that are in the spirit of Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown? I want to hear from locals and skip the rosy-eyed takes you see in most travel content.
Our take
If you’re on the hunt for travel shows or podcasts that capture the raw, authentic spirit of Anthony Bourdain’s *Parts Unknown*, look no further! These modern gems delve into local cultures, spotlighting the genuine stories and experiences of everyday people, much like Bourdain did. They prioritize real conversations over glossy tourism, offering an enriching exploration of diverse communities. It’s all about connecting with the heart and soul of each destination, making them perfect spiritual successors for those craving depth and authenticity in their travel content.
Anthony Bourdain was imperfect imo, but he was always striving to find the genuine soul of a place. I loved that about his shows. He would focus on actual culture rather than just the most touristy of things. He talked to locals regardless of status/background.
Are there any modern shows that scratch this same itch? I search and search and never find anything great. Looking for a spiritual successor.
*To be clear, I am talking about the travel and cultural aspects of his shows* - does not need to be heavily focused on food.
