  • Always interesting

    Love the actual podcast but not a fan of all these adverts. They’re getting very monotonous

  • Big fan of Simon Calder but…

    The latest episode was only 10 mins long, but had 5 mins worth of ads?! I’ll stick to Simon’s other podcast, You should have been there.

  • A pleasant informative podcast by a respected expert.

    A most informative, balanced review of current developments and trends in the travel industry by the doyen of said industry.

    As for the background music, I rather like it. Without doubt, when I listen, there can be no doubt which podcast it is.

    Simon has an easy presentation manner which makes this a definite daily listen for me.
