I only recently discovered this podcast, and I am loving it. What a nice way to discover good music, and the interviews are so conversational. I love hearing the sea rush in and the gulls and wind in the background. This podcast offers moments of joy and solace that are much appreciated.

Idyllic and wonderful

The host has a magnificent way of describing the surroundings so you barely notice that it’s all audio. It reminds me of another time when this was most folks’ only window to far off places. The music is of course beautiful but I really appreciate the stories: whether it’s reminiscences of the early days on the folk scene with Richard Thompson or Maddy Prior, or the songwriting journey of Johnny Flynn (+Robert MacFarlane).

My favorite podcast

Excellent podcast. Such a great introduction to new music and beautiful places. I love to travel along with the artists and see the world through their eyes.

Thank you for this!

This podcast is a true gem. Beautiful, often touching human stories intertwined with travel sounds and music from great musicians. It’s a good way to get out of a Covid bubble and travel a bit without leaving home.
