Family Trips with the Meyers Brothers

This week on the pod, Seth and Josh welcome W. Kamau Bell! Kamau talks about a childhood spent constantly on the move, living in places including California, Indianapolis, Boston, Chicago, Mobile, Philadelphia, and the Bay Area, and how those experiences shaped his perspective on the world. He shares stories about choosing to live with his dad in Alabama, spending summers with his Southern grandmother watching game shows and soap operas, flying alone as a child, and taking family beach vacations. Kamau also reflects on traveling with his own family, including bringing his kids to destinations inspired by their favorite books and taking his mom on a cruise where she surprised everyone by trying parasailing. Plus, he discusses his new podcast and Substack, Who’s With Me?, which spotlights meaningful conversations and ways people can make a difference.

Josh is joined by a special guest co-host for this month’s listener episode…his wife, McKenzie! While Seth is away, the two catch up about Mackenzie’s recent trip home to western Massachusetts for her high school reunion, including nostalgic visits to her old campus, time with both parents, a newly renovated porch and chimney that sparked plenty of conversation, and a stop at the recently reopened Bridge of Flowers in Shelburne Falls.

They also hear some fantastic listener stories, including a Girl Scout cross-country train trip, childhood summers at a remote Canadian cabin, and a trip to Spain that swapped a highly anticipated Barcelona soccer match for an unexpectedly awkward all-day olive oil tour. Plus, Josh and Mackenzie answer listener questions! Watch this episode on the Family Trips YouTube or Spotify, or listen wherever you get your podcasts!
