Episode 3 Of TDA Talks With Mark & Jeanne Turner

 

In our latest episode of ‘TDA Talks’ we chat with Mark and Jeanne Turner. Host Shanny Hill met them when he was a last minute fill-in as Tour Leader for the 2019 Odyssey cycle tour. They had a nice conversation, sharing memories from that tour and talking about the current state of their lives and how they are adapting and keeping in touch with family. Shanny also asked them why it is that professionals like Mark and Jeanne go on these trips and put so much faith into the staff (often younger) that run the tours. I think you will find their thoughts and comments quite interesting.

(We apologize to Mark that he is cropped out of the video in certain parts. But his voice comes through loud and clear.)

‘TDA Talks’ is a new series, with each episode lasting 15-20 minutes. Host and TDAer Shanny Hill will have discussions with past participants, aspiring riders and TDA staff to delve into their thoughts, feelings, memories, and seek out advice for our larger cycling community.

Though we are not professional podcasters or interviewers, we hope the content itself is unique and insightful for anyone with an interest in travel and cycle touring. Our worldwide community of cyclists includes many interesting people from diverse backgrounds and we hope you enjoy these talks.
