Nice resource but loses focus easily

This is an interesting podcast. I would not say that it is completely useless because my wife and I have certainly gained some information from it. If I were able to cut out the 40% of content that seems to be nothing more than inside knowledge of personal trips, it would be much more worthwhile. for a podcast that is supposed to be focused on traveling, and therefore meaning focused on people who are not familiar with the local area, geography, infrastructure, and other such things; It would be much more beneficial if more things were explained in detail when first mentioned. Something as simple as a road name completely foreign to someone who has never visited the UK for example. I don't want to be completely negative in my review because as I said this has been beneficial in some regards but I would be doing a disservice to the producer if I didn't make the points I am trying to make to perhaps give them insight into making a more usable product.

Best UK Travel podcast!

Practical tips and interviews for planning a trip to the UK. I loved it! Interviews with travelers, tour operators, and locals who live there! I listened to them more than once and took notes! Great information for the self guided traveler.

Loved this one!

I listened to the winter one first and hadn't realised this was a series. I enjoyed this more than the winter one but maybe that was because I didn't understand the background?
