This week, summer travel planning is heating up early because, according to recent coverage from Travel and Tour World, states like Nevada, Texas, Florida, California, New York, and Colorado are staring down record tourism growth for twenty twenty five as ninety two percent of Americans say they plan to travel. That surge is already shaping what your summer will look like, with popular spots from Orlando theme parks to Miami beaches bracing for peak demand and higher occupancy. Travel outlets are also calling this winter the new trendsetter month, with December bookings hitting near summer levels, which basically means the early birds are buying up your July and August flights while you are still deciding between flip flops and sandals.
For listeners dreaming of classic sun and fun, tourism boards in Florida and California are pushing summer campaigns that lean hard into beaches and theme parks, while Nevada is promoting a split personality summer, part late night entertainment, part desert and national park road trips. Colorado is positioning itself as the cool down alternative for people who want mountain air instead of melting on a city sidewalk, a theme echoed by global reports highlighting strong demand for nature based escapes. Meanwhile, new travel trend pieces from consulting firms and industry analysts say younger travelers are planning more trips and putting a bigger share of their budget into experiences, especially wellness getaways built around hiking, mindfulness, and spa time. Translation, your friends will drag you to a sound bath in the mountains and call it self care.
Social media this week is already auditioning destinations for the unofficial title of main character of summer, with early summer planning content on platforms like Instagram and TikTok hyping San Diego, Hawaii, and the Greek Islands for warm weather and easy beach days, while pushing so called quietcations in cooler, less crowded spots like Scandinavia or high altitude U.S. mountain towns. At the same time, travel economists are warning that economic uncertainty and a wobbly U.S. dollar could make international trips feel pricier, nudging more travelers toward domestic adventures, road trips, and shorter but more frequent getaways. So if you want that summer trip to feel first class on an economy budget, this is your sign to book early, travel midweek, and consider those slightly less obvious destinations that have the vibes without the shoulder to shoulder crowds.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
