Chris, Great interview and great guest! I first got turned on to Rudy about 4 years ago or so when my local PBS digital station started playing his Hi Def travel show. What a great sense of humor that I never quite noticed on his shows. In some ways I try to fashion my own video podcast as a stripped down grunge version of Smart Travel. Editing out odd charachters or trash trucks out? No way!
