Through a mix of guest stories, solo episodes and raw, personal accounts, Nourse explores travel, adventure and lifestyle in ways meant to get her listeners go out and see the world. In the 55-min JUMP 169 episode, Walking Across Jordan, she travels from the village of Dana to the archaeological marvel that is Petra, and beyond, meeting Bedouins and discovering stories and histories along the way. The podcast opens with a beautiful, foot-tapping Bedouin song that hooks you into the story that follows.
Nourse also brings out the other side of the story — how Bedouin guides interact with outsiders, exchange knowledge and happily indulge in the universal language of dance and merrymaking. This show is a fun source of travel advice and inspiration, especially this episode that portrays West Asia in a very different, inviting way that mainstream media hardly ever does.
