Singapore Travel Podcast with Rachel Tan

Singapore Travel Podcast is a show about travelling in a place where a tropical climate and two monsoon seasons set the pace. The city-state sits on roughly sixty islands, with most urban life along the southern coast and a lowlying central plateau inland. That mix makes every journey a negotiation between weather, water and dense city form.

Across episodes the show covers Changi, Bukit Timah, the Southern Ridges and Pulau Ujong, the island that carries most of Singapore's population. These are not just stopovers; they are settings for understanding how this city-state organises itself. The host returns to them in different weather, so the northeastern monsoon and the drier months shape what travel looks like.

The show's structure follows the calendar, returning to places as the northeastern monsoon gives way to the inter-monsoon thunderstorms. Revisits are deliberate: a wet morning in Changi, a dry afternoon at Bukit Timah. Over months, the repeated visits build a working knowledge of Singapore's weather, rhythms and landscapes.

Rachel Tan lives in Singapore and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Rachel 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.
