It's a 22-night "travel-ganza" with a look at different European locales. He joins us to preview the events and to look ahead at the 2023 travel season. Plus, he shares his travel tips and stories. Our guest:

Then in our second hour, a funeral mass for Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI was held in Italy on Thursday morning. The theologian died December 31. During his tenure as pope, Benedict was known for his traditionalist views and his shy, soft-spoken nature. He was the first pope to resign in nearly 600 years. This year, we discuss Pope Benedict's legacy and his impact on Catholics around the world. Our guest:
- Timothy Thibodeau, Ph.D., professor in history, politics, and law at Nazareth College
