Chris Christou joins me in this winding discussion to explore the subjects and themes raised in his phenomenal podcast, The End of Tourism, described as βa project about the deep causes and consequences of tourism, wanderlust, spectacle, exile,β and βan invitation into the local resistance and resilience movements in the face of each of these things.β In my discussion with him, Chris reflects on the historical moment he chose to begin this project: during the earliest waves of the global pandemic, at a time when global tourism effectively collapsed.
