New format kicks off 2012 season

This week we introduce a new shorter and snappier format for the travel podcast.

Travel Radio Australia is now available only as a podcast via our websites travelradioaustralia.com; travelwithren.com; travelcastnetwork.com and as a download from the iTunes store's free podcast department.

We appreciate all the online listeners we have collected to the show over the past four years and hope to build the audience even more in time to come.

Although the show is no longer a weekly event like it has been for the past decade (and longer), it will appear here on a regular basis, so keep checking back, or even better, subscribe and you'll never miss an episode.

On this edition host Ren Zwiers has some travel news involving a wayward tourism manager in Croatia who has been sacked for her comments about Aussie visitors to her country; Frances Beasley celebrates the Christmas season in Munich, Germany and in the final segment, Ren offers some cruise specials from an Australian-based agency.

He was a bushman and businessman who had a rise to fame which led from humble beginnings as a 'swaggie' to a multi-millionaire bushwear retailer.

Also on the show, US travel writer Diane Covington reports on her trip to The Sierras in southern California.

Our European correspondent Frances Beasley takes listeners aboard the classic Danube Express rail service.
