The birth of a podcast

During our travels, we realised that we'd learned a fair bit about how to travel well, and decided to share our new knowledge with the world. We started the podcast during our time in St Albans, and introduced articles, videos and the enhanced version during our time on the Isle of Wight. It's grown pretty steadily since then, and last month won the Best Travel Podcast category of the Lonely Planet Travel Blog Awards. We're planning to continue travelling, and of course to continue with the podcast. We hope you'll join us for the rest of the journey!
