It’s the Big Travel Podcast Christmas Special! It’s been a great year for the podcast, hitting the top slot in Apple Podcasts travel here in the UK several times and also charting high in many of the 160 countries we have listeners around the world. Thank you so much to all. Sit back and listen to some of our favourite guests (OK, so we don’t really have favourites as they’re all great but these are the ones Lisa remembered to ask about Christmas!) and their tales of travel (or indeed otherwise) at Christmas. 

We have…

Giles Coren on a Jewish family obsessed with Christmas, India Hicks on very British Christmas in the Bahamas, Cosmopolitan travel ed. Amanda Statham on a beautiful cottage in Yorkshire, author and actor Rhik Samadder on Christmas Day in a Bangkok sex hotel with his mum, Dom Joly on translation problems and tuna in Iran, festival guru Rob Da Bank on ‘fake Christmas’ in a Dubai honeymoon suite, Andy ‘The Viking’ Fordham remembering cine cameras and Chopper bikes, Paola Miggiuli the Tiny Italian on Columbian Christmas in Essex, Iain Lee on an insane Christmas trip to Hawaii, Nasa astronaut John Herrington in the middle of nowhere in Alaska and make-up artist Hannah Martin wearing a candle-hat in Somerset. 

Happy Christmas to one and all.
