Sarah Kopit: Hello, everyone. I’m Skift’s Editor-in-Chief Sarah Kopit. And welcome to the new and improved Skift Travel Podcast. For almost a decade, the Skift Travel Podcast has brought you industry defining, reporting, research, and interviews that define and make sense of the business of travel. I’m happy to report that all of this will continue, and thrilled to break the news that we’re supercharging the Skift Travel podcast to make it even bigger and better than it’s ever been before.

Behind the scenes, we’ve increased resources and people power. And right here, front of house, we are happy to introduce ourselves. There’s me, Sarah Kopit, editor-in-chief, and Skift’s Head of Research Seth Borko, as your full-time host delivering Skift’s latest news, research and insights hot off the presses and pivot tables. And don’t worry, Seth, you can tell us that that’s not how pivot tables work in a moment.

But before we get into that, we’ll of course still feature the interviews you want to hear and the business leaders making news across the industry. Plus the occasional revisit and analysis of our industry-leading forum sessions. Seth, over to you.

Seth Borko: Great to be here and thanks for that introduction, Sarah. I think you will learn a lot more about how pivot tables and Excel work over the course of the podcast. Hopefully all of our readers will, but we’re going to make sense from the numbers. We’re not going to be pure data nerds here. We’re going to make stories out of it.

I’m so excited to be doing this podcast and I can’t wait. Every week, we’re going to dive into stories and research and events coming out of the world of Skift. It’s going to be great.

Kopit: A little bit about me. I’m relatively new to the world of travel, and I took kind of a serpentine route to getting here. I was born in Michigan. I grew up on a dirt road and had a pickup truck, and I was just all like, bright lights, big city for my for my whole childhood. And I came here right after college.

I worked for Court TV. I went to law school. I practiced law for a while. I worked at Bloomberg for over a decade. I managed their breaking news team in the Americas. I did all sorts of things there. I ran a crypto publication for a little while, but now I’m here at Skift. It’s
