"Lyon is better than Paris." Can our guest back up her bold claim? This week, sustainable travel writer Anna Richards argues that Lyon deserves more love than the City of Light!

This week we’re off to Glasgow with travel writer and whisky expert Sarah JC Gillespie. Home to exciting independent businesses, lively nightlife and an unparalleled music scene, Glasgow packs a cultural punch.

Glasgow

This week we're off to Stockholm, famous for its clean living, sleek design, crisp winters and long summer nights. Our guest Malcolm Jack shares the best late-night bites, the locals' favourite swimming spots and the story of an ill-fated warship extraordinarily well preserved by the Baltic waters into which it sank. And, of course, it wouldn't be a Stockholm episode without mention of saunas and ABBA! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
