THE 195 PODCAST

THE 195 PODCAST: TRAVEL LIFESTYLE FOOD

Welcome to Galavante Podcast, where on your run, in the car, or wherever you are, we take you to the most unique destinations, and introduce you to some kicks— individuals who are changing the world.

Regina and Christine are back to talk about this bang-up year of restaurant openings in New York City. Whether it was a Caesar salad with fried cream cheese, or a dish that we still wonder whether it was shrimp or chicken, the culinary landscape of NYC restaurants set a new bar.
There’s a reason why there wasn’t an official kids’ day when we were growing up. It’s because if you ask Mom and Dad, that day was every day. Whether it was that 6 AM ice time or the 4 birthday parties in one weekend, our folks put in the work. So, they deserve more than a day to honor them, and Regina + Christine suggest you go big with a trip. They take it a step further too, and give you the reasons, tips and survival tricks in some cases for the most memorable trips to take with your parents.…
Sometimes Moms just can’t help themselves. They just want to see you happy and part of things, no matter how old you are, and that means having that partner in life. Well, maybe Mom is onto something. That first trip can make or break your relationship, but no pressure; Regina and Christine have you covered. These are their ideas for where to vacation with your significant other. Travel is a Big Step You see inside someone’s soul when you travel with them. So that first trip away with your significant other will let you know at minimum if there’s real…
Regina and Christine are always up for a fling. Of course, we mean that in the context of spring travel because this is a PG-13 show. This is where to travel this spring for uncomplicated getaways that bring out the best of the spring season. It’s Time to Get Out in the World Regina and Christine are ready to travel, and they’re talking about where to travel this spring. Regina has Paris on the brain where she wants to get away with her husband John. Whether you’ve been to Paris a hundred times, or it’s your first time, Christine has…
There’s no way that Regina and Christine aren’t going to have something to say for International Women’s History Month. So, they’re talking about their favorite women leaders in travel, who are creating hotels that are worth traveling to around the world. Women Leaders in a Male-Dominated Industry Even though women make most of the travel decisions, in the world of travel, it’s a male-dominated field. In the hospitality industry, 2022 data from the Castell Project found that women held less than 10%  of hotel development and leadership roles. That statistic is less than women enrolled in business school, which is…
All this talk about love starts with loving yourself first. Like, when you’re on the airplane and they tell you to put your own mask on first before saving everyone else. So, Regina and Christine are on the podcast today talking about wellness retreats that are more than skin deep. These wellness centers will get you on your journey to becoming your best self. You Don’t Have to Go at it Alone Regina and Christine have a heart-to-heart about wellness, where you don’t have to go at it alone. In fact, it can actually be better, whether or not you’re…

First Check out The Top 24 of 2024 Every year, we poll our team and our Tastemakers (aka you) who are the most well-traveled individuals in the world. Then we look…
Regina and Christine are closing out the year, and they’re sharing 3 new hotels that arrived in style in 2023. The nutshell is that hotels are taking it to the next level. Hotels used to quietly soft-open to work out the jitters, but this hotel paid Queen Bey $24 million to perform at the welcome party. And like why stop at opening a hotel, when you can restore a 14th Century church next door, just so it’s all good in the neighborhood? You’ll want to listen in. A New Standard of Hotels We would say that the new hotels opening…
Regina and Christine are getting in the holiday spirit, and it’s not just eggnog on the brain. They talk about Galavante’s 501(c)(3) nonprofit, which is your way to make a real difference directly in someone’s life. And this holiday season, they’re auctioning off priceless art by your favorite Real Housewife of New York, a Whisky Tasting with William H. Macy + Jimmy Yeager of Woody Creek Distillery. You’ll want to tune in to hear about their foundation, which is an organization that helps Afghan women, as well as humanitarian projects around the world.
