Robert G. Rose is a social and media entrepreneur and travel and video journalist. Over his media career, he has created a tapestry of content targeted at under-served audiences while producing socially conscious "media that matters." His mantra of "empathy equals strength" is displayed throughout his work.

Rose created Artist and Idea Management (AKA AIM Tell-A-Vision Group) in 2000. In 2009, after nine successful seasons, he sold off his first television project, American Latino Syndication, and took a sabbatical to live and travel abroad. This life-changing experience inspired him to develop “Raw Travel TV,” an authentic travel show in a socially aware context,

Raw Travel premiered in 2013, and today, in its eleventh season, it is exhibited each weekend in 184 cities in 97% of the U.S. via local broadcast TV affiliates (CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, etc.) as well as international territories, airlines, and streaming outlets.

Rose has traveled to scores of challenging destinations to film. In 2023, Rose spent weeks filming in active war zones in Eastern Ukraine. He's unapologetically supportive of Ukraine's right to be free.

In his spare time, he reads voraciously, screens documentaries, consults, volunteers, blogs, and runs a small digital record label, "Punk Outlaw Records." He is a published writer, featured speaker at various travel, media, and tradeshows, and a member of numerous media and travel trade organizations.

The Travelogue season is held at the Capitol Theater at 211 N 3rd St. in Burlington. There will be 2 showings on Thursday September 21st at 1:30pm and 7:30pm. Free admission.

Each Travelogue presentation will open with piano by Jerry Parks for 1/2 hour before each showing. Also new this year: local youth musicians will be performing during intermission.

A very exciting season awaits for the 65th year of Travelogue in Burlington!
