Pop Culture Passport - Exploring Quirky & Cool Travel Destinations in the USA
Pop Culture Passport is your guide to quirky and cool travel destinations across the USA. Every other week, we explore unique things to do, from movie and TV filming locations and theme parks to roadside attractions, quirky museums, regional foods, and the fascinating stories behind the places you visit.
If you'd happily add 60 minutes to your trip to visit a filming location, the Jell-O Museum, a legendary roadside attraction, or a local spot with an incredible backstory, this podcast is for you.
I'm Beth Schillaci, aka the Roaming Yeti. I'm a travel content creator, pop culture nerd, and firm believer that the best discoveries happen when you layer a little curiosity on top of wherever you're already headed. I call them side quests: the detours, the unexpected stops, the "wait, THAT'S here?" moments that make any trip unforgettable and personal.
Whether you're planning a dedicated trip or looking for the perfect thing to add to somewhere you're already going, a work trip, a family visit, or a drive through a new city, there's always something worth the detour.
Think of this as traveling with your slightly nerdy, sort-of-cool friend who loves deep dives, unexpected discoveries, and finding the story behind the story.

Episode 57
Have you seen Adventures by Disney trips but aren't sure group travel is your thing? Or you have avoided them because you aren’t the biggest Disney fan?
What if I told you there are only a few trips that actually step foot in a Disney Park and that I would follow that orange paddle anywhere?
In this episode, I share my experiences on multiple Adventures by Disney trips, including a 10-day trip to China 5 years ago and a recent Southern California escape.
By the time you finish listening, you will have learned about:
- The things that are and are not included in the price of your Adventures by Disney trip.
- The highlights of our trip to China with Adventures by Disney.
- How they handled a last-minute cancellation.
If you are looking for a one-of-a-kind trip with access to special places and activities and the peace of mind that Disney is taking care of everything, check out Adventures by Disney.
