The International Living Podcast
Our weekly International Living Podcast explores safe, welcoming, beautiful—and often little-known—spots on the planet. We bring you a world you won’t see on the evening news, a world full of places where you could live richer, travel more, invest for profit, and enjoy a jet-set life… for less than it costs to stay home.
Host Jim Santos—long an expat and world traveler—talks with IL’s magazine writers and with a cast of thoughtful characters living interesting lives abroad—from Penang to Porto, Cuenca to Madrid. We bring you smart ideas for richer living in a bigger, better world.
Our podcast is available here below... and anywhere you listen to podcasts, including Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Apple Podcasts.
