Travels with Darley: Discovering the QC’s Hidden Gems with a Travel Trailblazer
A city can whisper its story before anyone speaks—the curve of a bridge, the hum of a market, the glow of a fourth‑generation soda fountain. We sit down with PBS host and producer Darley Newman of 'Travels with Darley' to explore how travel becomes a public service when it lifts up people, preserves memory, and invites visitors to feel at home in places they’ve never been. From goat trekking in Galena and hand‑built treehouses off the Great River Road to the living history of Rock Island Arsenal, Darley shows how the Midwest’s quiet details reveal big character.
We also pull back the curtain on building a modern travel brand across PBS, Amazon Prime, YouTube, iHeart, and more. Darlie shares practical storytelling tactics—why you don’t need to be everywhere, how to pick the platform your audience actually uses, and how to craft tight, emotional reels that say more in 60 seconds than a brochure says in ten pages. Her lens on makers and small businesses—think Dot’s Pots, Navarro Canoe, Boetje's Mustard—highlights why hands‑on experiences anchor destination marketing: they turn curiosity into connection and visitors into champions.
The conversation stretches beyond leisure to moments that stay with you. Filming along Alabama’s Civil Rights Trail, Darley met women who lived the movement as children—stories that command attention and humility. In Santa Fe, a quiet session with horses reshaped what presence can feel like. Those experiences, and simple plans for Darley’s return to the Quad Cities—walking the bridge, meeting more entrepreneurs, tasting Quad City style pizza—underline a core belief: design for memory, not just metrics. If you care about authentic travel, community storytelling, and finding hidden gems along the Mississippi River and beyond, you’ll feel right at home here.

In high school, I said I wanted to do a travel show. So I've uh like my friends laugh because they're like, that's so funny that you went on to do it. But I I actually started working as a teenager. And when I was 16, I was working at um Time Warner Cable in South Carolina, and I was a contract camera person, and I was filming government meetings and a local talk show. So I started working in the business a long time. I mean, you know, when I was younger, I knew I wanted to be in the creative field. And I had a video camera when I was a kid, and I used to make people do movies and shows in my neighborhood. So I was a director before back in the day.
SPEAKER_00:Where do you find a family of communities connected by the storied Mississippi River where young explorers, dreamers, investors, entrepreneurs thrive? Where can you connect with real people living and creating in a place that's as genuine as it is quirky? QC That's Where.
SPEAKER_02:Welcome to QC That's Where. I'm Katrina, your host, and I'm so excited to have Darlie Newman with Travels with Darley on today. Darlie is a producer, entrepreneur, and a content creator who's actually been in the Quad Cities before. She travels internationally for her show on PBS and Amazon Prime. And so, Darlie, hi, thank you so much for coming.
SPEAKER_01:Thank you, Katrina, for having me.
SPEAKER_02:I'm pumped to talk to you. I we were talking a little bit before we started recording the podcast because you're just bringing in a whole new perspective from your background as a traveler, a content creator, um, you know, a visitor to many, many places. And so right now, I just want to maybe kick it over to you to talk a little bit about what Travels with Darley is and its origin story.
SPEAKER_01:So it's so funny because I now tell people that I do a public service. And that sounds weird, but I believe that telling stories and getting people to know more about places that they can discover and the people that live on this planet is so valuable because it connects us more. And I feel like the more we know about each other and the more we know about different places, the better people we are. So this is what I truly believe because as we travel, I've been traveling the world now actually since 2007. I started another series called Echo Trekking, the world's first horseback riding travel series, where I went horseback riding around the world for many years. I wrote a book about it, created a brand out of it, um, and you know, syndicated that show all over the world. It was on PBS and then it went, it was on to Tokyo in France. And it was interesting because people were like, is it a horse show? And I said, no, it's a show about people. It is a show about our planet and animals, but it's all about how we're connected and how we've been connected over time. And I think that people can really start to learn more about that through storytelling. So in um 2016, I actually launched Travels with Darley. I had started it as a short video short series in the early days of video shorts. So I had it syndicated out on Huffing and Post and AOL as short videos. And then I was like, I want to make these into longer stories. I mean, as you know, in the content world, we've seen this evolution of we're watching long things, short things, super short things, we're on social, we're on, you know, it's been a very interesting evolution. But I've been kind of riding that wave with Travels with Darley. We now have filmed, we have 85 half hours on PBS stations across the nation. They're on platforms like Amazon Prime, on Tubi, on Samsung, on Plex. You can find the series on my YouTube. You can listen to the podcast version on iHeart. So it's it's it's really evolved over time because there are so many platforms and the media landscapes evolved. But the heart of it all has been meeting people in different places, telling great stories, and showing people how they can be inspired by what's going on in different communities. And we are in a new season now that comes out next year, actually. So we're we're getting close to a hundred episodes with all the content we're producing, a hundred and a half hours, and there's so much more that we do on different platforms as well. But I really love it. Um, and we were so excited that we got to come down the Great River Road for an episode and visit you all in the quad cities. And that's just one example of how we will road trip through a place and look to find the history, the culture, the food, what makes those destinations tick.
SPEAKER_02:So you mentioned the Great River Road. So that was kind of how we got acquainted a little over a year ago. You were working with the Illinois Office of Tourism and you made that track. So did you have any like standout moments on the Great River Road? Um, shout out Quad Cities as well. I know you visited the Arsenal and Lagos. So yeah, what what stuck what stuck out to you there?
SPEAKER_01:So south of you, we went to the um these tree houses that you can stay in, and the guy built them all by hand, which I thought was super cool. Um, you know, there's windmills, you would, there's things you wouldn't expect. There's presidential history. The Great River Road is is really it's a gem. It's it's such a diverse trek. I went goat trekking up in Galena, which was unexpected. Uh, when I was with you all in the Quad Cities, I was having ice cream at Lago Marcino's, and I thought, wow, this is so cool. This is another great example of stepping back in time at a family-owned business. It's it was fourth generation, and they're making this amazing chocolate. And I don't know, it's I love those places where it's unexpected. We went to Rock Island Arsenal, which was also unexpected. I learned so much about uh that the role that it had in major, you know, the Civil War and other world wars. And that was really fascinating because and why it was located there in this central location. And we've got the Mississippi River. So it was really a fascinating dive into Illinois, but also a microcosm of what makes traveling throughout America so cool because you're finding things from all over the world, right, in your own backyard.
SPEAKER_02:It was so special to have you here with us for, I mean, it was a short time and um a little preview to what's coming. Um, Darley will be with us for our annual event on November 13th. So we'll be excited to have you back in the community with us again. Um, but it was so great to have you because, you know, you, like I said before, you brought in a different perspective. This is kind of this is what you do. And so for you to be able to highlight the things that you can share, tell the story, and really just amplify um was really great for us. And um, we were able to share your reel that you made from the arsenal and the snippets from the Great River Road. Um, so we're just so proud to be part of that cluster of communities. How interesting is it before you probably even talk to somebody? You're visiting a community, whether it's Midwest, you know, Southeast, internationally, everything from the buildings to how the infrastructure is and the markets, like tells a little story, gives a little glimpse of just what the people there value. I mean, what are your thoughts on just taking all that in without even having you know had a conversation yet?
SPEAKER_01:It's interesting because every place is so different. And I think that's what makes it a good show and and a good a good topic in general. I often say it's a travel show, but it's not a travel show because again, it's about people and communities and places. Uh, but when you when my when I go into different places, it is really people open up to us. We're just a small team, you know, everybody, there's four of us that travel together. My photographer Greg Barna is awesome. He's about to be honored with a Silver Circle Emmy Award in Los Angeles in Pasadena, Los Angeles for the daytime Emmys coming up, um, for his lifetime of work, which um the last 15 years has been on my shows. That's so exciting. Congratulations to him. He's amazing. And but all of us really do care. I mean, that's the thing. And I think when people meet us, they do open up about their lives and what they value. And you see that in the places where we talk to them. Because um, for instance, in the area where we were looking at the windmills, and we have this woman who was a docent, and she's taking such great pride in the fact that they're keeping everything so intact. They're working windmills that you can visit on the Great River Road. And I was thinking, I love this that that people have this value of preservation and holding on to the past, but sharing it in a way that is welcoming to people who visit and are like, why is this here? And they tell the whole story. So I thought things like that are really great, but it's also when you meet local small business owners, there's artisans that we meet along our travels, hat makers and belt makers, and they all and jewelry designers and people that uh own really great restaurants, and they're all sharing something through their art, through their food. And that really tells you that they care. And I think that's something that's really special about getting to share these stories. It just connects us further. And I think that's really important, especially nowadays.
SPEAKER_02:So when you're with us in November as a speaker at our annual event, we are definitely gonna hone in on the power of storytelling. Um, we we see you as just, you know, one of the greatest minds in that field. And it's something that we want you to be able to help us um push to people who maybe don't storytell for a living, but we're all, you know, we're all storytellers in some sense because we all have a story to tell.
SPEAKER_01:It's true. And I actually love that about what's happening with social media now and with content creation. I talk to a lot of people who are trying to start something new. You know, they have an idea for a business. And I always say, if you have a passion for something, you should, if you want to pursue it as a business, then you definitely should. Because, and it could be anything that you think of. It doesn't have to be something mainstream. In fact, it's probably better if it's not. As we've seen people blowing up with their stuff on TikTok that are or Instagram that are they're making a craft or they're doing something that you would never think would be popular. And the beauty of it is when you have a passion and you convey that, it becomes interesting to other people because they see that it resonates through. So I do think that storytelling is so important, but that anybody can share their story because when it is done with authenticity and it's done from the heart, that's when it resonates with people. And they and they may say, I didn't think I was interested in that, but now I am. And I think that's the beauty of it. And there's so many ways to tell a story, and there's so many ways to be creative about it as well that people don't often think about. But there are little exercises that a lot of people can do to kind of step out of their own comfort zone and realize that you know, all of us, whether we like it or not, if you're doing something, it's your brand in a way now. You are a brand. What you're doing is a brand, you're representing a brand. And maybe you do or don't like that word, but it's it's true. It's a way that we convey information. And I think if you're authentic about it, that is what resonates.
SPEAKER_02:So you started out um, you know, short form video and blossomed from there. I mean, probably, you know, obviously by choice, but probably also a little bit out of like necessity, because the more years go by, the more platforms erupt and we have to use them and adapt and figure them out. So, you know, how have you kind of um managed being a little bit everywhere for everybody? And do you have a favorite way to tell your stories?
SPEAKER_01:It's it is hard to manage because there are so many platforms and it's constantly evolving. Uh, I always say that and think that you should go where your audience is. So you don't have to be everywhere. If you find that you have an audience on YouTube or that you, your website or your newsletter or your substack is doing well, then you might want to hone in on that. But I do believe that it's um it's fun to look at the platform that resonates and then how you manage that. I really love doing reels. I don't know. I actually like love them. I like that it's short and in a minute or maybe a little bit more or less, you can tell a pretty good story. And I think it's a good exercise for people too. Often when I'm going to interview people for longer interviews now, I have them do my social media first. I'm like, I want you to tell me about your place or location and try to keep it 30 seconds to a minute. And you'll be surprised at how much of a great, concise story you can get with that. You know, a lot of people are really good at it now, too. You you'd also be surprised. You think, oh, people get nervous. They like the phones. And I think it's wonderful. Uh, I think it's a great way to convey something. And I love layering, I layer video on my reels. I think I use a program called InShot that I really like. It's outside of um the platforms of you, your your endemic platform of Instagram or something like that. But it's a great tool because I try to make my even my short reels, I try to make them really captivating. And I think people like to see visuals. So I I really love doing that. And I I do like telling longer stories. I'm working on my podcasts now too, like this one, and I'm doing audio only podcasts to differentiate from the show. And I found that to be really a fun challenge because you have to describe things more. And I also believe that it's great to have these different um audio, video, short form, long form. People want things in different ways, people digest things in different ways, and people have might have different challenges where maybe they just can listen to it, maybe they just want to see it. Whatever it is, if you present it in different ways, it really helps reach a lot more people.
SPEAKER_02:I think that speaks to you know, the longevity of like what you're doing and how you've been able to and how brands have been able to stay relevant and you know keep up because even like myself, I think back to 10 years ago, the way I consume content now is vastly different for no other reason, other than like my lifestyle has changed a lot. Like I have two little kids now, so podcasts are right up my alley because I don't really have a lot of time and you know, just the bandwidth to sit and watch something, but I can listen while I clean or play with somebody all day long, you know? And you know, 10 years ago, I might have opted for that sit down with my laptop and really watch something. Um, so it's really great. I mean, there's benefits too. It's it can be hard to manage, but there's benefits to being a little bit everywhere. And like you said, it's great to see that just people have naturally kind of figured it out too. You know, the phone isn't as scary as like a big old camera. And so it's nice that we can get more people into the sphere just because the technology's changing.
SPEAKER_01:I think it's great. Yeah. And I think however people want to digest something, a lot of people are listening to podcasts on YouTube now. I think that's also great. And people are maybe they're not even watching the video, they're just listening to it, but they have it streaming. So either, you know, however people want to consume things, the as long as the I think the information gets out there and they can learn, I think that's great.
SPEAKER_02:So you started like traveling and doing the the shorts um 2007. Now, did that did everything start and just blossom in 2007, or did you have any kind of like inkling of travel prior?
SPEAKER_01:Oh no. I mean, I want in high school I said I wanted to do a travel show. So I've uh like my friends laugh because they were like, that's so funny that you went on to do it. But I I actually started working as a teenager. And when I was 16, I was working at um Time Warner Cable in South Carolina, and I was a contract camera person, and I was filming government meetings and a local talk show. So I started working in the business a long time. I mean, you know, when I was younger, I knew I wanted to be in the creative field. And I had a video camera when I was a kid, and I used to make people do movies and and shows in my neighborhood. So I was a director before back in the day. But I went on to work in you know, radio and television, and I worked at CBS and on frontline documentaries and talk radio news service. So I really did all aspects of production, which is why I feel um, you know, it's been so helpful in running my own company because I actually like a lot of people watch my show and they don't understand that I actually, you know, I host the shows, but I I write them, I produce them, and I am the one who's like helping figure out where we're going next and actually leading the team. So it's um it's a lot to do, but I feel like starting out and getting to do things from the ground up, I learned a lot. And I talked to a lot of people who again are starting something new, and I say, well, maybe you want to go work in the similar field or you know, figure out how other people are doing things and get ideas and get experience, things you didn't think you'd want to do. You might find that you like them or you might find that you hate them, but you need to know that information.
SPEAKER_02:So how do you even make the decision to decide, okay, I'm going to X, Y, and Z places, and then we gotta move on through.
SPEAKER_01:It's interesting because so I loved being in your area because we made a last-minute decision to go to Lago Marcino's. Like it, you know, no, it wasn't on our list. We didn't have it in our purview, but we heard about it the day before, I think. And we said, oh my gosh, we have to go there. Because not only are we all on our team big ice cream lovers, but we also just love the story of the multiple generations. So sometimes things just come up naturally. We obviously do research and we want to try to get the heartbeat of a place and the people, and we we don't want to miss something that people will watch and say, oh, they should they should have gone there. But often we do have to pick and choose because we just don't have a lot of time when we're traveling. Uh, and we try to cover a lot of things so that people watch the show and they get a sense of it, but then they say, Oh, that's something that I didn't know about. Maybe I want to go there on my next trip, which is great because we found that people actually are following the itineraries and looking at the shows and listening to the podcast too, and and going to those locations, which I think is awesome. And we have you know seen that over many years. And I think it opens up people's, you know, minds and hearts to things they just didn't know existed in our in the US and around the world. So we really do look for hidden gems, though, and again, places that are unexpected. So my producing team with Evelyn and this and Janice as well, who works with me, we're always looking and saying, okay, what should we cover? What do we not want to miss? And then what are the hidden gems that would really shine through and might be unusual because those unusual places often stand out too. Again, like the tree houses that this man has hand built in the woods that you can go and stay in. I thought that was so cool. So we try to look for those things and the goat trucking that would be unexpected.
SPEAKER_02:It's so interesting. Your process, you know, it's um it has to be so organized. And yeah, I'm hearing like a reflective element of just like an average traveler because you go in with a plan, you know a handful of things you want to do, but then the best moments are when you go in with a little bit of an open heart and not everything planned out to a T. And then you can just kind of listen and absorb and then hear about those great things that maybe just didn't pop up on Google or somebody, you know, who recommended the place initially, like just didn't share for whatever reason.
SPEAKER_01:That's the beauty of travel. I often say that I think you should research a place if you're going there and you should have an itinerary, but you should also leave time to explore because there are things that will resonate with you that someone else didn't have on their list or didn't resonate with them. So I think discovery is a great, is a great aspect of travel. And it really is exciting when you think about yourself as an explorer in a sense. And I, you know, I don't love the word tourists. I try not to use it. I like traveler and I like to think of us all as explorers and people discovering new things.
SPEAKER_02:I love that. And and the more you explore or travel and just get to see different people in different elements, I mean, the more you can build on your own dreams, the more you see what's out there that maybe you hadn't thought of before. Um, you know, and and I like to think, you know, dreams can can build like the tourism business because if we get people to just, it starts with a visit, right? And so if we get someone to come and visit, maybe they'll want to come and visit again, or maybe they'll want to come and see if they want to live here. Um, and so inspiring people to just, you know, build their dreams, um, build upon what they what they think they want for their life and just be open to it. Um, that's kind of that's what we're all about. And we want to help usher that, you know, through. Um, thinking about all of your travels, okay. 2007, beyond, whatever. Do you have like a favorite moment either from the show or just personally that you draw back to from time to time?
SPEAKER_01:I do have a ton, honestly. Again, we've been so many places, and I always tell people that I loved Botswana Africa, it was one of my favorite locations because I was just so amazed by the wildlife. It was so exciting to, I went horseback riding on different safaris. There was an elephant that did a mock charge while I was on horseback, which was scary. It was crazy. And we have just like really amazing, the best stargazing I've ever seen out on one of the world's largest salt pans there in Botswana, Africa. But when we were finishing COVID, when we were at the tail end of COVID, the vaccine had, you know, come out already. We were hitting the road to travel, but it was still quite difficult. I got to film along the Civil Rights Trail in Alabama, and I interviewed uh women who had lived through the movement as children. So these are amazing women. I had a protege of Rosa Parks who grew up sleeping on her couch in her house, which is now a national park site. And I had Joanne Bland on camera and interviewed her at the foot of the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma. And she was in the Selma to Montgomery March as a child and had a lot of challenges to face with that. And her story is heart-wrenching, and it really, it really affected me. But I again, I think there's power to hearing someone's story, and the authenticity comes when they tell it. So those things have all resonated with me, and it's kind of why I've continued to do what I do, you know, amid all the changes in the industry and the need to evolve and innovate, and which is definitely there all the time. I really think it's special when you get to hear from someone who's lived through history and has firsthand information.
SPEAKER_02:I got chills when you were talking about that. That's, I mean, that's gotta be a highlight of your, you know, of your career, but also just like as a human, being able to be the, you know, the person to help push that story out to the masses and let people hear what they had to say about, you know, living through that time and just, you know, how they how they persevered. Um, those are those are some things that it's gotta be a little bit tough to stumble upon when you're doing your work. Um, you know, but you have to pair the those real moments and these really like great learning experiences with then the you know, the the fun highlights and and everything. So there's so much that's encompassed with your job, and I'm just like absolutely fascinated. Um, and another thing I've been wanting to know is like what makes you want to go back to a place?
SPEAKER_01:Oh, so that's a great question. Because I've done a number of productions in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It's a place that I really love. I've had some really I seriously have had transformative experiences there. It's I tell people they need to visit because it is a place that the landscapes, the history, the food, there's so much there. There's so many rich textures. But I did this Equus experience there, which is commuting with horses when horses are just on the ground. And I'm a big horse person. So I went into it, I was skeptical because I was like, I've done so much with horses. A lot of times horse whispering, I don't, I don't believe it's gonna work, you know, or it's gonna be a hoax or something. And I sat there with these horses that day, and I was like tearing up as I left and felt like I had learned so much. It was an unbelievable experience. And so I think, again, those kind of experiences, it's all about experiences. Experiences make you want to go back to a place. People make you want to go back to a place. But I love that so many destinations, so many people are offering experiences now. You know, I'm the kind of person who doesn't love like things. I don't collect a lot. I could have filled my house with so many things as I've traveled all around the world, but I don't because I don't necessarily value those things as much as I value the time, the experiences, the connection, and what it is when you when you have something that is a special experience. I was just in Alabama and I did a painting class with this woman who has her own art studio and she does workshops on soris. So, you know, what is a sorry? And she's collected all these soris from her family's history, and you really learned so much. I'm not good at painting at all, but just sitting there and the meditative aspects of doing that, but then getting to chat with her while I did it, I felt again like it was another really interesting experience of learning about culture and someone's personal history that teaches you a lot about their past, where they came from, and the area where they live in now. So I think those experiences are really valuable.
SPEAKER_02:I love that. You're a collector of experiences. I think that's I think that's fantastic. It's something that you can like hang your hat on and not have to worry about putting in storage, right? You can just rem have the memories and you know, the photos and share those. And I think that's wonderful. Um, one thing that you touched on was um the, you know, kind of sitting and experiencing the the making of something with somebody and kind of a backstory. So, like like the state of Illinois has the Illinois Made Makers program where you know communities throughout the state can nominate their local makers. And Quad Cities has a handful, we're so proud of. Um, Dots Pots being one, Navarro Canoe, um, Bochie's mustard. And so those are like places that you can you can go, you can, you know, you can buy things, obviously, but the makers are right there and you can actually interface with them. And like Dot's a wonderful lady, she's been. Um, you know, she's done photos and videos with us and told us about her store. And, you know, the the Boche's mustard family, they have a gift shop. When you go in, you know, you can kind of see the awards they've won through the years um and talk with them and you know, and bring home a jar of mustard if you want to. And so it's really cool that like in our own communities, you know, quad cities I can speak for, but in in all these communities, there are these people who um, you know, who have the interest and the the gusto, I guess if you will, to like make something and tell you about it and let you do it with them. I love that.
SPEAKER_01:I think it's great, but a lot of people are searching for those experiences now when they travel. I mean, travelers want to have interesting experiences. They do. So I think that it's something that a lot of communities and people are offering up that is so beneficial for everybody. And again, it makes people want to go to those places that they didn't think that might be a place that doesn't maybe have as much going on, but they have these cool experiences. So then you want to go and visit. I think it's really special.
SPEAKER_02:Well, we're so excited to have you back in the Quad Cities coming soon. So um November 13th at our annual event, it's called Destination QC. You will be a speaker. Um, we're gonna highlight, you know, the power of storytelling, quality of life in place, and just how that all comes into play together. Um, you know, storytelling is just really the crux of the tourism industry, and it's the crux of a community because that's how you start to build that emotional connection with people. And I think that's what inspires people to make a decision. Yes, I want to go there, I want to live there. Um, you know, I want to explore their experience there. So we're pumped to have you come. Do you have any like items on your list when you come here that you know you you want to do this time?
SPEAKER_01:Who I well, you know, I actually want to do the full walk over the bridge because I didn't do that last time because I didn't have time and it was very hot that day. So when I come back in the fall, I think it's gonna be really nice. So That's gonna be great. Yeah. Yeah. And um, you know, again, I love getting on my own two feet and exploring. So if I were back down by um Lago Marcino's, for instance, I kind of wanted to walk more around that area and just see what I spotted. So I think there's gonna be a lot, and and if I can meet some more um entrepreneurs and small businesses, I love that. And of course the food, because people are traveling for food a hundred percent. And I've the food scene everywhere has gotten much more diverse and interesting as as I've been traveling for the past few years, and I love that. So, you know, trying something that's truly local will definitely be on my list.
SPEAKER_02:We will definitely hook you up with some Quad City style pizza while you're in town. And you can add that to your list. So um, I will have you at this point now, Darlie, fill in the blank, QC, that's where you get really good ice cream. That's so true. And you experience Lago Marcinos, but we've also got country style and whitey's like fan favorites, people people travel far and wide to come to these joints.
SPEAKER_01:So I love that. Well, and I was gonna say, I, you know, you should ask me again after this visit because I probably will have something completely different. But from what I've seen so far, it's from in in from even corresponding with you, it seems like it's very community-centric, which I think is awesome. Um, because when communities come together, it really just helps everybody rise and grow and feel feel connected.
SPEAKER_02:I love that. Yes. Rising tides, rise all ships, sentiment. Yeah, 100%. And that's definitely the quad cities feel too. Everybody, there's room for everybody, and everybody like helps lift each other and help each other out. Um, and so I'm very blessed to live here. We're so excited to have you back here.
