Every week I record a travel podcast called You Should Have Been There with my great friend and travel companion Mick Webb.
The podcast is about half-an-hour long. It features us chatting together with contributions from fellow-travellers, quotes from travel books and audio extracts from trips we make both separately and together.
The programmes are about the fun and fascination of travel, more than the practicalities, and about sharing the stories afterwards. Travel questions we have looked at in the past include: flying with a clear conscience; armchair travel; defining what makes the ideal travel companion; brief encounters; travelling as a three-some; socially-distanced travel, etc.
Mick and I have worked, travelled and argued together, in a good way, for about 30 years. We walked in the Pyrenees and wrote a book called Backpacks, Boots and Baguettes.
You Should Have Been There is hosted on Anchor.fm and available on Apple, Spotify, Google and others.

I also record a daily podcast for the Independent that features current news and views. You can find it here.
