Travel Industry Pros Launch Bold New Podcast: The Tahryn and Karen Show — 2 Travel Agents, One Wild Ride

Howell, NJ, July 01, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Travel industry veterans Tahryn Nicastro and Karen Walz are pulling back the curtain on the realities of running a travel agency business with the launch of their new podcast, “The Tahryn and Karen Show — 2 Travel Agents, One Wild Ride.” Equal parts unfiltered storytelling, industry insight, and business strategy, the show is built for travel advisors by two women who live it.

With over 20 years each in corporate America, Tahryn and Karen met at a romance travel conference in Mexico in December 2024 where they became fast friends, bonding over margaritas and marketing war stories. Tahryn built her career in marketing communications and advertising for powerhouse brands like Sprint, T-Mobile, NASCAR, and BMW, while Karen drove brand marketing for iconic consumer names like American Girl, Fisher-Price, Thomas the Train, Barbie, and Fiskars. That shared experience of big-brand strategy and travel entrepreneurship is what makes their podcast stand out in the crowded podcast landscape.

“We didn’t want another generic ‘travel trends’ podcast,” says Tahryn. “We wanted a space where travel advisors and industry insiders could hear what really happens behind the scenes — you’ll hear real talk about our successes, our failures, what we’re trying in marketing and the lessons we’ve picked up along the way.”

Karen adds, “We’re pulling from our corporate marketing backgrounds and showing how we apply those skills to run profitable, sustainable travel businesses today. It’s a little business, a little therapy, and a lot of what no one else is saying out loud.”

The Tahryn and Karen Show — 2 Travel Agents, One Wild Ride is designed with travel professionals and industry people in mind, but anyone curious about the wild, weird, and wonderful world of travel will feel right at home. Episodes feature real talk on travel trends, sales tactics, destination intel, marketing moves, and raw conversations with fellow travel pros.

The first episode debuted May 21, 2025, with new episodes dropping weekly on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Pandora, iHeartRadio, and YouTube Music and YouTube.
