Rick Steves' podcasts
If, in the Venn diagram of life, you are a person who enjoys traveling and watching PBS Rick Steves is a name that will be familiar to you. Rick is a well known author and host of various travel specials and guides. Unbeknownst to me he is also podcasting like mad. Not only has he released some of his recent "European Christmas," which originally aired on PBS, as a seven part video podcast (free at that), he has also made available a few walking tours of Paris. He covers the Louvre, the Orsay Museum, Versailles, and a historic Paris Walk.You've learned the language, now learn about the history and culture with the help of Rick.

Dude! I didn't know bout R. Steves until I got my 4g iPod and started getting his podcasts. Man, I'm hooked on those, being a fan of foreign cultures and hoping to travel/live/work/play in Europe and the rest of the world, They are a great insight. Recomended if you love travel and appreciate classy cultures other than your own. Me, I like to think myself as a citizen of the world, not just the country I currently live or was born into.

I had a chance encounter with Rick Steves a few years back in the whispering gallery of St Pauls in London which ended up with me appearing on his show. The other thing you should know is that from my brief encounter with him he seems as nice when the cameras are not running as he does on his show.
