I wanted to drop a quick episode to give you all a heads-up on some exciting changes coming to the show. Now, I know you’re probably thinking, “Beth, what’s going on this time?” And, well, I’m here to fill you in!

So, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately, and it hit me: this show, as it stands, feels a bit like that cool outfit you buy because it looks great on the rack, but when you finally wear it, you just don’t feel like you. It fits, it looks fine, but it’s not really the style that makes you feel comfortable or like yourself. That’s what "Travel Beyond the Guidebook" started feeling like for me. It’s a great concept, but it doesn’t fully represent me—the real, geeky, pop culture-loving me!

If you know me well, you know I’m a bit of a geek when it comes to pop culture. I geek out over movie locations, quirky roadside attractions, and theme parks. And that’s what I want this podcast to reflect—the things I truly get excited about. It’s time for the show to lean more into what feels authentic to me, and I think you’ll love the direction we’re headed.

So, here we are. I’m making a few changes, but I promise this is all about creating something more me—and more fun for all of us. First up, the name change: I’m thrilled to announce that the podcast will now be called Pop Culture Passport! We’re diving deep into all things quirky, cool, and iconic—right here in the US. From theme parks and movie locations to quirky museums and legendary pop culture spots, we’re going to explore the destinations that really make America unique.

Episodes will now drop on Fridays, so mark your calendars! The trailer for Pop Culture Passport will be out next week—yes, I feel like I’m teasing a Marvel movie, but I’m that excited!

Thank you for sticking with me on this journey. I can’t wait to dive into all these quirky, cool, and iconic places together. This shift feels more authentic to who I am—a pop culture geek at heart—and I’m excited to share that passion with all of you. So, let’s get excited and… Let’s Roam!
