June 23: Two Baltic Gems: Helsinki & Tallinn with Ben Green

6:00 p.m. PT / 9:00 p.m. ET | REGISTER

Separated by a two-hour ferry, Helsinki and Tallinn are not only neighbors, but soul sisters. These two capitals share an east-meets-west mélange of cultures, a spirit of resilience, and a deep love of saunas. Resident east-of-the-Rhine expert Ben Green is ready to share his perfect two-city itinerary. In Helsinki, we join Finns on the historic fort Suomenlinna and commemorate their struggle for independence, while in Tallinn we ramble picturesque medieval walls and soak in a hipster reincarnation of a Soviet warehouse district. Hop in the sauna with us for a journey to beautiful Baltic Europe!

June 30: Road-Tripping to America's Ballparks with Travis Parker

6:00 p.m. PT / 9:00 p.m. ET | REGISTER

For many Americans, a baseball team's ballpark is as important to its identity as the players on the field: When we think baseball, we also think Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium. Travis Parker is a ballpark guru who writes about the evolution, design, and eternal cultural appeal of ballparks that makes die-hard fans yearn to "see them all." Together, we take a tour through America's ballpark history, tracing how baseball went from glorified cow pastures to modernist structures, like Miami's loanDepot Park — with stops at iconic stadiums like Polo Grounds, Wrigley Field, and the Astrodome along the way.

Monday Night Travel - Switzerland

Beyond the Best of Switzerland with the MNT Team

This event was recorded on June 16, 2025.

First-timers to Switzerland are lured by Luzern's flower-lined Chapel Bridge, Lauterbrunnen's finely carved chalets, and Zermatt's majestic Matterhorn. But similar Swiss delights are tucked in less-visited corners across the country, and Gabe Gunnink and Emily Burks team up with travel experts Robyn Stencil and Pat O'Connor to uncover Switzerland's best back doors. Together, we ramble the ramparts of lakeside Murten, Switzerland's best-preserved medieval town; climb up, up, up to the alpine village of Engelberg; and top off our journey in Bellinzona, the capital of Italian-speaking Switzerland, with our best passeggiata.
