Traveling Through with David Prior · Thursday, July 30, 2026
Both Needleman and host David Prior emphasize the value of approaching travel with a specific interest, whether it's craft, food, or festivals, as a way to gain deeper connection and access to a place and its people. This 'lens' can transform a trip from superficial sightseeing to a meaningful cultural immersion.
“But I think, you know, for all of us, even if we go to a place without that kind of access, having a particular interest and bringing that interest of yours into a place is such a fantastic way to kind of connect to a place in a way that you wouldn't really do otherwise.”
“It's like the crack in the door that you have to push. Yeah, and then you asked to be invited into these people that are both I mean.”
“If you want to feel at home in the world, to the point of your mother in law, Lois who by the way, if you want to read an amazing article about her, She's not kidding. This is an extraordinary woman, Lois Weissberg.”
