We're a little more than a year into The Thrifty Traveler Podcast, with nearly 60 episodes and a live event on the horizon. But we didn't see this coming.

The Thrifty Traveler Podcast has been named a finalist for the prestigious Shorty Awards – and now, we need your help to win!

Somehow, the (very smart and savvy and probably also incredibly good-looking) judges at the Shorty's have decided our podcast is actually good – despite our best efforts. And while they're deciding whether to put us at the top of the podium, it also comes down to you TTPOD listeners! 

Vote for our podcast in the 2026 Shorty Awards! You can vote once per day – and cast additional ballots by sharing your vote on social media. Voting ends next Wednesday, April 8.

Bottom Line

Against all odds, we're a finalist for the 2026 Shorty Awards.
