I'm a fellow travel podcaster and journalist (The Big Travel Podcast) and came across this podcast when reviewing other travel podcasts for an article I'm writing. Eric has such a lovely way of telling a story and a brilliant voice. Love it.<\/p><\/li>

Fascinating! Love indigenous music and listening to Chuck\u2019s vivid descriptions were as close to being there as possible. I am so intrigued with these off the beaten path places and this podcast offers a glimpse into realities otherwise unknown. He really captures the \u201cspirit\u201d and Eric, your podcast connects us to that world. Wonderful!<\/p><\/li>

e-travels with e. trules is a very informative and entertaining podcast about Mr. Trules travels across our planet over the past many years. But it's more than just that. It's also about his life beginning in New York and how he created a life for himself, his wife and now their adopted son in the Echo Park section of Los Angeles. \n\nWhat's especially enjoyable about his accounts of his life is not just what's going on in the present but also the historical knowledge he imparts with a sense of humor. \n\nHe probably remembers Gene Shepard from many many years ago on WOR A.M. Radio in New York City and I as a young child back then would listen to him on the equivalent of podcasts back then. Younger people may recall the movie \"A Christmas Story\" and the famous saying about not getting a Bebe gun because he will shoot his eye out. Well that was written by and voice overhead by Gene Shepard. \n\nMr. Trules has a similar ability to tell a good story and to do so in such a way as to bring you right there. \n\nI only recently discovered podcasts and this has got to be one of the best ones out there!<\/p><\/li>

A truly unique travel podcast<\/strong>
May 27, 2017 by fevkalade11<\/b> from United States<\/div>
I love travel and foreign cultures, and it was great to find a podcast that adds an entertaining, offbeat angle to a genre that can quickly become stale. Highly recommended.<\/p><\/li>
Amazing!<\/strong>

If you love travel you will certainly love this podcast! Eric is an amazing story teller and he will transport you to another world every time. I definitely recommend this podcast to all travel lovers.<\/p><\/li>
Impressive and addicting!<\/strong>
February 14, 2017 by JenniferRendel12<\/b> from United States<\/div>
This podcast transports me evey episode to a entertaining adventure that lets me leave my current reality and allows me to see this crazy world as told by the euthusiastic, talented, and engaging storyteller, Eric Trules. I find his travel stories enlightening and very relaxing to sit back and listen to. Besides Trules mastery of telling his stories, the podcast is well-produced with excellent audio and sounds that help in making this such an addictive listen. Can't wait for more!<\/p><\/li>
Love and the Devil's Nose<\/strong>

This was a delightful and entertaining narrative. I tuned in thinking it was a podcast about one of Eric's wild travels only to find out that this was a piece about marriage, and a damned good one at that.<\/p><\/li>
Crafted with a love of travel<\/strong>
February 6, 2017 by jinki1<\/b> from United States<\/div>
Love the story telling aspect of the early episodes: the score, the performance. It's really engaging. As a podcaster, I love the behind the scenes episodes as well. Looking forward to where this show will go!<\/p><\/li>
An auditory treat<\/strong>
January 30, 2017 by phillytonicaragua<\/b> from United States<\/div>
Trules' voice and the sound design make E-travels with E-trules a lovely soundtrack when working. His stories will transport you to another world while you tap away at your cubicle. I hope he post more and more often! Highly recommend.<\/p><\/li>
Truley Great<\/strong>
January 19, 2017 by Rain17<\/b> from United States<\/div>
Love the interplay between discovering new places in the world that are ancient and making new personal discoveries. Yes, he's crazy to be taking some of these trips, but what else is new? He's being truly Trules. His inner clown is always smiling.\nThanks a bunch.\nMark Berger and Rain Worthington<\/p><\/li>

The Voice<\/strong>
December 20, 2016 by TravelwithGrace<\/b> from United Kingdom<\/div>
I was lucky enough to be in Echo Park, Los Angeles this November and heard some of Eric's podcasts before they were even available on itunes. He has the perfect pitch and tone of the seasoned traveller and raconteur, I slipped comfortably away and was lost in distant lands and times.<\/p><\/li>
Storytelling at its finest<\/strong>
December 20, 2016 by i save a lot<\/b> from United States<\/div>
A real treat to hear Eric's voice among hoards of podcasts out there. His point-of-view, cadence, and energy makes for trascendent listening. LOVE it!<\/p><\/li>
Got Me Yearning to Backpack Again<\/strong>
December 15, 2016 by Speaking247<\/b> from United States<\/div>
Trules has such a great radio voice. Truly enjoyed the podcast, as it got me yearning to backpack again. Really high-quality production, with great music (and I dig the whistling at the end).<\/p><\/li>
Wonderful storytelling from an incredible, iconoclastic, ramblin professor.<\/strong>
December 12, 2016 by Trevor M Davis<\/b> from United States<\/div>
Eric Trules is a natural born storyteller. He also happens to be an ever-searching, wonderfully curious, thoughtful and profound individual, with a unique perspective on the wide world -- a world which he's circumnavigated far more than I could even imagine. Though, after listening to his podcast, it's inspiring me to attempt to catch up someday and ramp up the timeline on my exploration of this mysterious, beautiful world.\n\nAs much as the travel adventures are wonderful to hear on their own though, the real treasure here comes in his thoughtful reflection on humanity in its many garments and idiosyncracies. He certainly could have been a cultural anthropologist if he didn't become a theatre professor...but I'm glad he went toward the stage; now we get the benefits of his runminations on humanity through the vessel of a uniquely gifted, entertaining storyteller.\n\nI've seen him perform many times, but this podcast is a great reminder of how much character and warmth his voice carries with every phrase as a trained performer. Trules is a cultural treasure, and I can't wait to hear more installments of this powerful travelogue.<\/p><\/li>
Tules trancends travel triumphantly<\/strong>
December 12, 2016 by gijjiu<\/b> from United States<\/div>

Rich and Textured Storytelling<\/strong>
December 1, 2016 by Irma Gerd<\/b> from United States<\/div>
Between the music, sound design, and pleasant low rumble of Trules' voice, this is a podcast that will satisfy that craving for a story that lets you live by your mind's eye. In the introduction of the podcast, Trules begins laying down the different stories and inspirations that he has quilted together over his life. From his natural curiosity in history to his appreciation for the unforeseen, you get the sense that Trules has a narrative that bridges his personal discoveries with the shifts the world has undergone throughout his life. \nI'm looking forward to seeing how these stories flesh out. I can tell that we're in for a treat.<\/p><\/li>

The Wild West of Deadwood, South Dakota – Episode 26<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n
Where\u2019s the Where?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Deadwood, South Dakota. I\u2019m traveling through the sacred Black Hills\u00a0 \u2013 doing one of the most patriotic things I\u2019ve ever done in my life\u2026. going to Mt. Rushmore\u2026 to see George, Tom, Abe, and Teddy, the 4 great American Presidents enshrined into the granite Lakota hills.<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/p>\n
Along the way, I end up making a little detour – to the old cowboy and mining town of Deadwood, South Dakota\u2026 long before David Milch, Al Swearingen, and HBO got there. Rumor has that Wild Bill Hickok was Sheriff of Deadwood back in the late 19^{th<\/sup> century, and where, he was definitely<\/em> shot in the back in a saloon while playing poker in 1876, a full 100 years after America celebrated her independence. Deadwood was a wild and wooly town back in the day, and when I got there in 1970, almost another 100 years after her centenary, I discovered something about Wild Bill Hickok\u2019s jail\u2026 first hand\u2026 and about the new Sheriff in town named\u2026 Deadwood Dick McGraff.<\/p>\n}
Please listen to Episode 26 by clicking the ARROW<\/span><\/a> at the top of this post – right below “Listen Now”.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Why take a trip back with me to 1970? Because just perhaps… there might be some similarities and parallels between today’s complicated and morally-ambiguous world…and 1970\u00a0 — when images of our stone-faced Presidents were all…\u00a0 cracked and decayed…. just like our country. When George, Tom, Abe, and Teddy were assaulted and worn by the elements, in need of a good face lift. Back then, we were still three years before Watergate, but something was already cataclysmically wrong with our presidential image. Something more than just the chip in Jefferson’s nose, or the fissure in Lincoln’s forehead. It was something deeper than that…. about the very fiber of things…\u00a0 moral turpitude… society itself. There was a tarnish in the air, instead of a luster, an apology instead of pride. Just like today…. when our President and his Tweets…. have many of us on edge… questioning the values, the ideals, the very idea of…. what it means to be American.<\/p>\n
