Gap Year Radio is a podcast that brings you information and inspiration to plan a life-changing gap year adventure.
We focus on bringing you interviews from people from across the gap year spectrum - people who run or lead gap year programs, gap year alumni who can tell you about adventures and travel experts who can give you advice on how to turn your dream of a year out into a reality.
