Apple Podcasts5Garol NorthbrotherUnited States3 years ago - Fantastic podcast; well worth listening to
Such a fantastic podcast. The host clearly loves the city and is a true ambassador for the various sights, attractions and people. I enjoyed listening to many of the podcasts either wandering around the city on foot, or just before I was due to visit an exhibition (like the WW2 Museum). I would recommend the podcast to anyone planning to visit the city, and think the city is very lucky to have someone who clearly puts in so much effort to communicate their love for the city to others.
