The Visit USA Association UK hosted its 23^rd annual Media Awards and first in-person event since the start of the pandemic, honoring travel writers for championing travel to the U.S. The awards ceremony in London recognized outstanding contributions to USA media coverage since international travel has returned. The Hidden Trails of Oregon podcast and its host, Aaron Millar, were celebrated as winners of the award for Best Broadcast including Podcasts. There were 15 total awards distributed that night to journalists, travel writers and media from around the globe for exceptional coverage of various U.S. destinations.

The podcast is available to stream anywhere you get your podcasts, including Spotify, where you can enjoy the adventure in English or the newly released German version.
