After our Summer Series of best-of episodes ended, we’re back with all-new episodes. In the next two episodes, we're looking at the travel trends and stories our reporters have been tracking, setting the stage for longer discussions on the Folo this fall. 

Here, you'll hear from editor at large Robert Silk on fuel and ticket pricing jumps in aviation; editor of content innovation and retail Jamie Biesiada on booking patterns and advisor updates; and tours editor Brinley Hineman on brand and personnel movements. 

Next, we’ll hear from reporters on hotel, cruise and river cruise beats. And there’s more, much more, to come. 

These discussions were recorded the week of Aug. 13 and have been edited for length and clarity.
