    And recently we got two shows in a week, which was a great bonus. Please do that again. Always learn something new and almost always get a laugh (Pauline can be quite funny).

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Best Places to Go in 2027, Part 1
Q: So, Jason, lead us off. Tell us about the Austral Islands. First of all, where are they?
Jason explains that the Austral Islands are a remote part of French Polynesia, far south of Tahiti. A new comfortable ship is expected to improve access, and the islands offer uncrowded beaches, volcanic landscapes and locally run hospitality.
The Best Places to Go in 2027, Part 1
Q: What would you say goes into our choices? What are the parameters that we're looking at? And talk about how we come up with these places.
Jason Cochran says editors consider what will make a destination especially timely in the coming year, such as a new opening, a major celebration or a place ready for wider attention, and consult writers and editors around the world.
How the Italian Language Reveals the Italian Soul
Q: The word, Ciao. So tell us about the word, Ciao.
Berti explains that “ciao” derives from a Venetian expression meaning “I am your slave at your service,” which later evolved into the familiar greeting.
How the Italian Language Reveals the Italian Soul
Q: Tell me a little bit about how the Italian language that we hear today evolved.
Berti says Italian grew from vulgar Latin, the language of everyday people, and developed through the Tuscan dialect, particularly the Florentine variety that became the standard.
Top Travel Trends for 2027
Q: So there are some good tips that you had as well for making the most of your currency exchange. We've discussed this on the show before, but these are things that you always have to remind yourself of. So if a shopkeeper or a restaurant says, you want to pay in the local currency or in your own home currency once you've handed over a credit card, there's only one answer, right?
Lindsay recommends paying in local currency, since the bank or card provider generally offers a better exchange rate than the merchant's conversion. She also says airport currency exchanges charge a premium.
