Introducing: Not Lost Chat

Who do we become when we travel? Who are we allowed to be? And where is everyone going? Brendan Francis Newnam is on a mission to find out. Join him as he speaks with travel writers (Pico Iyer, Jessica Nabongo, Marius Kociejowski ), celebrities on-the-go (Jay Pharoah, Tegan & Sara, Colman Domingo), and ordinary misfits like himself for a mini-season of in-studio conversations. Not Lost Chat begins January 4th, 2023.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Pushkin. I'm always very cautious when it comes to talking about,
let's say, in the journeys. I mean, have you ever
heard of anything so vain? I'm going to encourage you
never to listen to my podcast. Who do we become

(00:37):
when we travel? I have never flown without wearing a
suit in time? I refuse to do it. Who are
we allowed to be? Those blue American passports? As powerful
as they are, it doesn't work the same for everyone.
And where is everybody going? What's my ideal vacation? I
do love to sit near the ocean and drink. Join me.

(00:57):
Brendan Francis Newnham for Not Lost Chats a many season
of conversations with writers, actors, and others who all have
one thing in common, the travel bug. When I went
to a rural bar side of Muscle shows Alabama, and
it was kind of like a Pee Wee Herman movie
where I walk in and the jukebox stops and everyone
stares at me. Each episode, I'll share a postcard from

(01:18):
where I've been. The way LA just choose up and
spits out like they just counsel. You're trying to reinvent itself.
You can't sum it out better than the Chipper Nile's
place being a dialysis center. Talk to a travel writer
about their work. I recall a couple of years ago
being in a target and literally, for like maybe fifteen seconds,
I could not remember what city I was in. And
since I got asked for practical travel advice all the

(01:40):
time and I don't really know what I'm talking about,
I've asked some famous freaking flyers to come in and
answer your questions. If I'm sitting in the seat and
the person beside me is acting, I rate, I'm gonna
call flight attendant before I stick my size thirteen foot
up there. Tiny ass, not lost chats. It starts January fourth.

(02:04):
It's perfect listening for a road trip, waiting in a
TSA line, or if you're at home doing the dishes,
trying to avoid your roommates or family. I think it's
actually a crime for children to sit in business class
or first class. Why because what kind of business do
you have? Until then, bon voyage
