July 10, 2025 Chile
This week we're chatting to award-winning writer Shafik Meghji about Chile. Stretching almost a third of the length of South America, this narrow country is bursting with diverse landscapes, vibrant cities and incredible wildlife. Join us as we trek through the wilds of Torres del Paine, eat out in the buzzing port city of Valparaiso and journey to the mist-shrouded Chiloé Archipelago.

Shafik's brand new book Small Earthquakes: A Journey Through Lost British History in South America is out July 2025.

June 26, 2025 Kayaking the Northwest Passage
Today we’re joined by Mark Agnew, a writer, journalist and motivational speaker who made history as part of the first group to ever complete the Northwest Passage by kayak. We talk all about the resilience required to undertake the 2,000 mile trip, the unexpected joy of headwinds and close encounters with polar bears. We also discuss the true meaning of adventure and how you often don’t need to travel to a far-flung corner of the world to have a rewarding experience.

Mark’s brand new book There Will be Headwinds is out 3rd July.

June 12, 2025 Ultimate Japan
This week travel writer Rebecca Hallett helps us dream up our perfect trip to Japan. Join us as we explore the lesser visited places across the archipelago and encounter a fire festival that feels like a fever dream, an 80 temple pilgrimage tracing the coastline and the bear mascot/happiness manager who has become a Japanese obsession.

The fossilised tree museum mentioned is Sanbe Azukihara Buried Forest Museum.

May 29, 2025 Bologna
Today we’re off to Bologna with travel and culture writer Alex Sakalis. The capital of Emilia-Romagna is nicknamed la dotta (the learned) for its university, the oldest in Europe; la rossa (the red) for both the colour of its buildings and its political leanings; and la grassa (the fat) for its gluttonous cuisine. Join us on a tour of pretty piazzas, porticoed streets and pasta dishes as we uncover the city’s distinct identity, rich culinary heritage and surprising jazz pedigree.

May 01, 2025 Shitty Breaks with Ben Aitken
This week we talked to travel writer Ben Aitken about his new book, Shitty Breaks: A Celebration of Unsung Cities. Over the course of a year, Ben opted to “travel in the wrong direction", visiting twelve of the least visited cities in the UK and Ireland. With an open mind and a rather unusual bucket list, Ben encountered alpacas in Bradford, tested ski slopes in Sunderland and drank in the only Wetherspoons without a name. In today's episode he demonstrates that, with the right approach, anywhere can make for a great holiday. After all, it's people who make a place.

April 17, 2025 Driving the North Coast 500
Last summer Rachel set off on the North Coast 500, travelling through some of Scotland’s most spectacular scenery, interviewing locals and writing about her experiences for DK's brand new guide. On today's episode we're talking whisky distilleries doing their bit for the environment, the art of patience in puffin watching and beaches that could fool you into thinking you were in the Caribbean (at least until you get in the water).
