Wanderlust Union has launched The Wanderlist – Your Little Black Book for Travel, a new luxury travel podcast offering insider access to the people, places and perspectives shaping how we experience the world. Hosted by Wanderlust Union founder Sophie Baker, the podcast brings together influential voices from travel, hospitality, design, media, fashion and culture to share the discoveries, rituals and recommendations that inform the way they travel.
Moving beyond traditional destination guides, each episode opens a guest’s personal “little black book” to uncover memorable hotels, hidden restaurants, compelling neighbourhoods and experiences that feel too good not to share. Through intimate, editorial-style conversations with hoteliers, travel journalists, founders, creatives and cultural tastemakers, The Wanderlist explores the trusted recommendations that rarely make it into guidebooks—alongside emerging destinations, changing travel behaviours and the growing appetite for more meaningful, experience-led journeys.
Series One features Maison Balzac founder Elise Pioch Balzac; travel entrepreneur Steve Hui; former Vogue editor, author and travel writer Kirstie Clements; interior designer Jono Fleming; journalist and World’s 50 Best Oceania Academy Chair Alexandra Carlton; Alex and Trahanas co-founder Heleena Trahanas; and Sarah & Sebastian Global Head of Brand Matt Lennon. Together, their stories capture the joy of discovering the unexpected and offer listeners a unique source of inspiration for where to stay, dine and explore next.
A natural extension of Wanderlust Union’s work across luxury travel, hotels and hospitality, The Wanderlist creates a new platform for thoughtful travel storytelling and genuine industry insight. The Wanderlist – Your Little Black Book for Travel is now available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and all major podcast platforms. Discover every episode on the Wanderlust Union website and follow @the_wanderlist_podcast for more travel recommendations and behind-the-scenes stories.
