I just watched your Austria/Italy Alps episode. The credits at the end said "Taped in July/August 2020" Is this true? I didn't see any social distancing, a single face mask, or hear any mention of Covid 19. There were clearly crowds of tourists and intimate dinners. Was this really filmed in 2020?

nope.
This question has come up a few times this season, because of the way the credits roll.
It was answered by a staffer some months ago.
Look again. On the first line it says "Taped in July/August"
That's so that people trying to understand what they are looking at can place the season as July and August.
The second line has the copyright symbol © 2020, which is when it was copyrighted after all the post production and editing work.
It was filmed in 2019 and released in 2020.
It is a little confusing, but the two lines of credits are separate from each other.
They said they were sorry for the confusion.

I wonder if, 5 years from now, people viewing the repeat episodes will make the connection between 2020 and the Pandemic that affected travel, and everything else? Maybe that will be impossible to forget.
