Show airs again tonight
August 16, 2009
Stay calm people, it’s just a TV show.
Looks like 11pm EST, 8pm PST.
Check your local listings…sometimes it’s on Travel’s HD channel, sometimes it’s on the regular one. You obviously know how to use the internet if you’re looking at this, so it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out.

I just posted this comment over on WorldHum — and then I found this site. So, selfishly, I bring my comments to here from there (with minor emendations)…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
131 comments, and almost universally negative. Wow! Definitely a journalist’s (and publisher’s) dream: controversy.
I admit I watch TV infrequently, so I am not as knowledgeable as you all; I do know that I tire of the Travel Channel’s many shows’ singular focus on food; Zimmerman eats insects, the guy on Man v Food who grows increasingly fat as we watch, etc. Only Anthony Bourdain brings a balance between his quest for food and his love of travel.
I caught Confessions of a Travel Writer purely by accident, and loved every moment of it. I smiled, I laughed, I even said to my wife, “I LOVE this guy’s (Charles Runnette) acerbic sensibility.” Which many of you despised.
Not every travel show can or should offer the same pretty pictures of pretty places. This show dares to be something different: a behind the scenes peek at the often catty behavior that can occur in what most of us view as a dream job. Not everything, everywhere, all the time is peaches and cream. In a humorous way, Charles Runnette shows us the back-scratching, the backbiting, and the mosquitoes biting.
Please do not allow my comments to offend you: different strokes for different folks, after all, is what makes the world go round.
Hi Charles
When is the show airing again? I can’t find it on the schedule and Zoe is on my ass about tivo-ing it
Great party the other night – Thanks for having us
