For our travel writing seminar earlier this year (March 12, 2006), we tried something new - podcasting! So now, from whichever lonely corners and busy middles of the world you might currently inhabit, you can go to ApplauseCast, scroll down, and listen to some of the most engaging and enlightening folks in the world of travel writing, in five segments. The panelists included:

• Don George, author of The Lonely Planet Guide to Travel Writing,
• John Flinn, editor of the San Francisco Chronicle Travel section,
• Larry Habegger, Executive Editor of Travelers' Tales,
• Amanda Jones, renowned travel writer and photographer, and
• Elaine Lee, a freelance writer and editor of Go Girl: The Black Woman's Book of Travel and Adventure.

The podcast was created by ApplauseCast. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did and do and will.
