Poland Travel Podcast with Kacper Nowak

Kacper Nowak

The Poland Travel Podcast follows a single host as he settles in one Polish city or region, learns its everyday rhythms, then moves somewhere connected to it. Poland's distinctiveness lies in its geography: a flat plain that invites movement, mountains along the southern border, and weather that ranges from snowy winters to thundery summers. Travelling here means paying attention to layers of history.

The range covers Kraków and the medieval streets of the south, Warsaw's reconstructed centre, the industrial city of Łódź, and the lake district in the north-east. It also reaches Silesia with its coal-mining towns and the Białowieża Forest on the eastern border. These places are seldom treated as a checklist; each gets episodes that return to the same streets in different light.

The show unfolds across a Polish year, so episodes move with the seasons: winter fog in Łódź, thaw in the Tatra foothills, summer storms on the plains. The host returns to places he has already visited, notices what has changed, and builds a picture of Poland from the accumulation of ordinary details. That is how the podcast works.

Kacper Nowak lives in Poland and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Kacper is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement.

A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers.
