At Arete Media, we’ve always believed the best stories are the ones that remind us what it means to live with purpose. That’s why we are so thrilled to welcome Globe Aware: Adventures in Service as the newest member of the Arete Podcast Pantheon.
This isn’t just another travel podcast—it’s a celebration of meaningful journeys, where service and adventure go hand in hand. Produced by Globe Aware, a nonprofit that creates short-term volunteer programs around the world, the show invites listeners into the heart of what it means to give back while exploring new cultures. From building projects in Central America to community work in Southeast Asia, each episode brings to life the laughter, challenges, and unforgettable stories that come when people step outside of themselves and into service.
What excites us most is how perfectly Adventures in Service embodies the spirit of Arete. These aren’t polished marketing pitches or generic travel guides—they’re real stories from real people who’ve been transformed by their experiences. Listeners hear about the mishaps, the surprises, and the quiet moments of connection that make volunteering abroad so rewarding. It’s about more than travel—it’s about coming home with a new perspective on the world.
And the timing couldn’t be better. To help launch the show into our network, we’re honored to welcome Globe Aware’s Executive Director, Kimberly Haley Coleman, as the featured guest on this month’s episode of The Arete Podcast. Kimberly has dedicated her life to the idea that service can be fun, accessible, and deeply impactful. Her passion for cultural exchange and her stories from the field are sure to spark inspiration for longtime Arete listeners and first-time volunteers alike.
We couldn’t be more excited to have Globe Aware: Adventures in Service as part of our family. It adds a new dimension to our pantheon—one rooted in empathy, global citizenship, and the thrill of saying yes to something bigger than yourself.
So cue up an episode, let yourself be swept into the stories, and maybe even imagine where your own journey of service might take you. We’re proud to bring these voices to the Arete community, and we can’t wait for you to hear them.
Welcome to the pantheon, Adventures in Service. We’re so glad you’re here.
