60 http://www.travelscope.net/podcast/ en-us Copyright 2009 Travelscope Join us as we accept the world's invitation to visit Joseph Rosendo I share my personal perspective on cultural tourism in each episode of Travelscope. Travelscope was first created as a syndicated radio show more than 24 years ago. It has since expanded into a PBS television series, an eMagazine, as well as video streaming, a travel blog and audio pod-casts. Travel provides the missing link between cultures. We close each show with a quote from Mark Twain: ‘Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness.” It’s a truth that first turned me on to travel and has kept me hooked for more than thirty years.
