About this listen

Not every take is a good one—and that’s the point. On Bad Take Podcast, we share our hot (and sometimes questionable) opinions on travel, swap funny stories, and drop a few hacks we’ve picked up along the way. Plus, we bring on guests we’ve met from around the world to join the conversation. Expect laughs, different perspectives, and maybe a bad take or two.

  • How We Travel (Updated) – With Travel Stories #5
    Nov 18 2025

    In this updated travel episode, the BadTake crew dives into how we really travel—our habits, our disasters, our unexpected wins, and the stories we probably shouldn’t be telling publicly. From chaotic airport moments to unforgettable destinations, we break down what makes a trip memorable (for better or worse).

    Join us for Travel Stories #5 as we share new lessons learned on the road, the questionable decisions we stand by, and the bad takes that inevitably emerge whenever we pack a bag.

    If you love travel, storytelling, or just hearing people admit their mistakes, this one's for you.

    In this episode, we open up about the mental health side of traveling — the highs, the lows, and everything in between. From the excitement of new places to the loneliness that can hit when you’re far from home, we talk about how travel can both heal and challenge your mind. Whether you’re a frequent traveler or just dreaming of your next trip, this conversation is a reminder that it’s okay to not always feel your best, even in beautiful places.

  • YOU WANT SOME CHA CHA?? Ft. Lika #4
    Sep 30 2025

She gave us the inside scoop on Georgian culture, politics, dating, and what everyday life is really like there. If you’ve ever wondered about life in this beautiful corner of the world—or just love hearing different perspectives—you’ll love this one.
