Myths and Legends

Myths and Legends
Hello! This episode is all about myths & legends from around the world. Or at least, mostly around the UK, Ireland, and Michigan. Myths and legends might be hyper-local, specific to one town, or they might be known worldwide with the very name invoking an instant impression. They could even be the driving force behind an entire cultural identity and assumed history. Whatever they were, they're fascinating insights into a place and the people who live in it. Topics discussed include: * My recent trips to London and hiking the Yorkshire Three Peaks * The tale of the Nain Rouge, Detroit, USA * Other legends of Michigan (Dog Man, Melonheads, Pressie) * My uncle's music collection is stuck in 1973 * The tales of Tam Lin and Matty Groves * Lebor Gabala Erenn * The myths and legends of the Ulster Cycle, with apologies for my bad pronunciations * * What the ancient Ulster capital of Emain Macha looks like now * Selkies. And Kelpies. * La Llorona, and why children should stay away from water * The tale of the * What do you mean Sherwood Forest is a real place? * Robin Hood, Sheffield's biggest export * Some myths are just a tax-avoidance scam Contributions to this episode come from: * Nat, from * My friend Dayna, who doesn't have a web presence * Author Joanna Hastings, * My co-conspiratior . As always, if you have anything to say about the topic, or indeed about my podcasting in general, leave a comment or let me know. , and where I'll be mentioning future podcast episodes if you want to make your own contribution.

Mental Health While Travelling (TS 004)

Mental Health While Travelling (TS 004)
Hello :) This is the recording of the fourth Twitter Spaces that I did with my friend V, back in March. I'm realising what a ball-ache they are to transcribe; it's the exact opposite of my normal pod episodes which take an age to prepare but actually issuing them is very quick and easy; these Spaces take little to no time to record but all the admin is post-production. You'd have thought having six weeks between recording and turning into a podcast episode would give me ample time to do everything I need to, and of course you'd be very misunderestimating the power of ADHD. Speaking of which … this session is on Mental Health While Travelling, covering topics such as: do ADHD and dyspraxia affect how I travel, why do I often feel mentally low when I'm in places, and what can I do to get myself out of those feelings. We also touch on why it helps being aroace, and how sometimes just staring out of a window is all I need to do to calm myself. Usual disclaimer, be aware this conversation took place over the phone, so the audio quality won't be as great as my normal podcast episodes. Indeed, there were some technical issues that occurred at the time of recording; most of these have been edited out, but it is noticeable the quality of some parts of the recording is a little lower than even is usual for the Spaces. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy it! Topics discussed include: * What is Dyspraxia? * How dyspraxia manifests in my travels - physically and mentally * What is Executive Dysfunction? * How Social Anxiety and Executive Dysfunction affect my travels * The mental difficulty of doing 'nothing' when travelling; why I can't take 'rest days' * Homesickness v Travel Fatigue * Why I don't pay attention to the news at home when I'm abroad * How personal relationships affect me while I'm away from home (and why you shouldn't date me) * Ways I worry about money when I travel * Moving to a new place often improves my mental health ... * ... but sometimes all I can do is go home * Why I never get 'bored' when I travel * The troubles that come from needing to know when and where I am * How I maintain my mental health when I travel I was interviewed by the lovely Victoria, .

Staying Healthy While Travelling (TS003)
Hello :) This is the recording of the third Twitter Spaces that I did with my friend V, in late February. At this point, we're starting to get a feel for the format, and doing a bit more preparation in advance so I'm not so fazed by the questions. They're also getting longer – we allocate an hour when we plan it and we're pretty much now hitting that target rather than falling a few minutes short. This session is on Staying Healthy While Travelling, and I probably should give you a couple of content warnings in advance, including descriptions of foot injuries near the start (that content warning is purely for one person, who may like to know that discussion takes place between about 4m20 and 7m40 after the theme tune ends), and a lengthy discussion about diarrhoea towards the end (47m52 after the theme tune ends). I mean, it could be worse; I listen to a podcast called '' which has a regular interview segment about this very subject. Usual disclaimer, be aware this conversation took place over the phone, so the audio quality won't be as great as my normal podcast episodes. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy it! Topics discussed include: * What I carry in a first-aid kit * Toe injuries * Bug repellents and tropical diseases * Anti-Malarials and Vaccinations * Wildlife, from elephants to badgers * Healthcare and injuries abroad * Being run down from too much travel too quickly * Altitude and climatic issues * Exercise on the move * Safe drinking water * Preventing food-related issues * Toilet habits on the * Most uncomfortable toilet adventures abroad * Best and worst toilet paper substitutes I was interviewed by the lovely Victoria, . .

Bangladesh
04/14/2022
Bangladesh
Hello! This episode is all about my impressions of Bangladesh, when I took a visit there in spring 2019. Though I wasn't there for that long, I found it a very interesting and remarkable country to visit as a tourist. It had always been a country 'on' my 'this might be interesting to see' list, and since few travel bloggers go there, it just made it more appealing, since I wouldn't be going in with any peer-related expectations. That said, I'd never really actively looked into going, it was just always an 'I ought to at some point'. Until the opportunity arose, quite by accident, and so I took it. Topics discussed include: * Why I've been offline the last couple of weeks * How I ended up visiting Bangladesh * Brief overview of ancient history * The War of Independence * Dhaka is a crowded and noisy place * * "Can I have a selfie" * People just want to talk to me * Illicit moonshine and the lack of alcohol * "A nice cup of tea and a sit down" * Curry and lassi * The quieter and more scenic places in the country (eg Ratargul) * Changing money in a mosque A contribution for this episode was supplied by . .

Travel Planning (TS 002)

Travel Planning (TS 002)
Hello! This is the recording of the second Twitter Spaces that I did with my friend V, in early February. As you probably know if you listen to my main podcast episodes, she decided after the first one that this was a really good use of social media that should work pretty well for my online style, so we've been doing them fortnightly since then. We followed the same format, and indeed that's the format we've been using since, of creating questions and then getting me to answer them, in a kind of Q&A or casual-interview-type environment. We're always open to questions from you too though, so if you have anything you want me to answer, then drop us a line at the usual places. Or come onto a session and request the mic. Upcoming Spaces topics will be: Solo Travel, Border Crossings & Visa Admin, Travel and Money (including budgeting, but also using money abroad safely), and Packing & Luggage. If you've got any ideas for future topics you'd like me to talk about in these sessions too, again don't hesitate to drop either of us a note. This particular session is on Travel Planning When You're Really Not A Planner, and given that I once did a Twitter poll overnight to tell me which direction and country I should visit the next day, only to wake up and find it was exactly 50-50, I'm possibly either the worst, or the best, person to talk about Travel Planning. But I tried. Kind of. Again, be aware this conversation took place over the phone, so the audio quality won't be as great as my normal podcast episodes. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy it! Topics discussed include: * How far in advance do I book a trip * Research into public transport * What happens if plans don't work out * How do I plan where to go in the first place * Making plans and communicating in foreign languages * Clothing and cultural concerns * How far in advance do I plan my packing * Planning admin - vaccinations, visas, etc * Missing out on places because I didn't plan in advance * Tips for first-time backpackers * People will generally never let you suffer I was interviewed by the lovely Victoria, . .

Back In The USSR
03/17/2022
Back In The USSR
Hello! This episode is a little unusual. See, it's occurred to me that in the spring of 2014, I did a backpacking trip around the western edges of what when I was growing up was the Soviet Union. And it seemed like an apt time to talk about it, given not only events in that region at the time of recording, but also considering the background to the current situation in the region pretty much effectively started only a month or two before my trip. My visit took me from Romania, which doesn't count for this pod so I haven't mentioned it save in passing, into Moldova and Transnistria, then a hop into Ukraine, followed by trains to Belarus and then Lithuania. I would say: I'm giving you this travelogue as a memorial of more peaceful times, but as we shall hear, that was not the case. Topics discussed include: * Twitter Spaces update & the disappearence of Episode Numbers * Soon I will have a newsletter! * Background to my 2014 trip to Eastern Europe * * A couple of days in Chisinau, Moldova * * Why I didn't go to Odesa * Kyiv after the revolution * How Minsk (Belarus) didn't look as I expected it to * * My first career-break-era mental health crash * How I found Vilnius (Lithuania) relaxing and pleasant * * Notes from a much smaller international train * Surviving on potatoes and cabbage .

Q and A (via St Mary's School, Astley) - Spaces 001

Q and A (via St Mary's School, Astley) - Spaces 001
Hello! This is not, strictly speaking, a Podcast episode, although it'll be the first of a regular series. As you may know, a couple of months ago, an old friend from Primary School days approached me with a thought. She's now a schoolteacher herself and her class was looking at travel writing, so she asked if I'd be willing to answer a few questions that her class would put to me, to help them in their lesson. I of course agreed, so they all went away and researched me, and she came back to me about a week later with a list of questions that her class were curious about, regarding my travels, why I started travelling and writing, and about interesting things that had happened to me along the way. I wasn't sure the best way of answering them, whether in a specific writing to them, or a blog post, or something. But then my VA had an idea. She'd been looking at the idea of Twitter Spaces for a while. These are akin to audio discussion panels, with a host and speakers, broadcast live on Twitter so people can listen in to them and join in if the host allows. Because I have a podcast anyway, she thought that doing something audio-wise would be the most comfortable way of answering the questions, and we could check out this new social media while we do. Two birds, one stone, kind of thing. This, then, is the recording of the first Twitter Space we did, answering the questions from my friend's school class. When editing it I noticed at times the quality of the recording dips slightly in a couple of places when I speak, but hopefully it won't affect your listening pleasure, and be aware too the original Spaces conversation took place over a mobile phone rather than through the computer. Hope you enjoy! Topics discussed include: * What prompted me to become a travel writer/podcaster * Obligatory subtweet to my mother * Why I had a gun pointed at me in Palestine * I remembered Timor-Leste as a student so it was nice to see what we were fighting for * Why it's taken me 9 years to write about Middlesbrough * Travelling and exploring locally * Tea, Marmite, and Greggs: food and drink while travelling * Where would I like to go next? Obligatory 'I will get to Bolivia one day' reference * Kiribati and the stereotype of the South Pacific * How I cope with social anxiety when arriving in a new place * What is a penpal and why did I visit one in a warzone? * Crossing a border illegally. Once by accident * Why I like Benin. And Voodoo. * Places where I had to wear closed shoes * Barefooting in Belgium, West Africa, and through mud I was interviewed by the lovely Victoria, . .

Podcast 054 - How To Save The World
Hello! This podcast episode has a rather overly grand title, but it's really a continuation of , about environmentalism. I look at topics like agricultural practices, diet, the concept of slow travel, accommodation, driving, office work, and fashion. All enveloped in a nice packet of privilege identification. Be thankful I didn't go into things like sustainability and greenwashing. Maybe that's something for another pod. Can we save the world? I guess that's up to us. Topics discussed include: * Parkrun update (including volunteering) * Twitter Spaces update * Palm Oil on the beach * Vegetarianism and Veganism * Why I don't like flying * 'Eating like a local' isn't aspirational * Slow Travel and why it's both my style and not my style * How to alienate a travel blogger community in one easy step * Why AirBnB is a good thing * The benefits and malefits of cars * The joys of working on an out-of-town business park * All about 'Share-Taxis' * "It's all just about privilege, isn't it?" * Fashion Blogging with the Barefoot Backpacker Contributions from this pod are from Roo (), Agnes (), Amanda (), and Victoria ().

Podcast 053 - Off-Season Almost-Post-Pandemic Last-Minute Travel
Hello! This podcast episode talk about my recent week-long backpacking trip to Northern Ireland. However, it's less about Northern Ireland specifically, and more about the practical side of backpacking for a week in off-season while there are still Covid pandemic restrictions and admin to contend with. Though I do talk a little about some of the places and museums I visited. That said, the 'T word' probably deserves its own podcast at some point so I only talk about that in passing; indeed I think I mention Parkrun more. Topics discussed include: * Why this podcast episode, and that I have a cold * Storm Dudley * Why Northern Ireland * Backpacker Hostels in Belfast * Tourist Attractions Not To Visit In Bad Weather * Booking museums in advance because of Covid * Being the only person on a museum tour that you book in advance because of Covid * Buying bus and train tickets not in advance * AirBnBs * Barefoot Parkrunning at Falls Park * Pubs and cafes and why I have a cold * Accepting drinks from strangers feels awkward * It was all rather easy in the end No contributions on this pod.

Podcast 052 - Packing Mistakes
Hello! This podcast episode follows on from Pods 15 & 16, from almost exactly two years ago, which were about luggage and packing. This time round, however, I'm talking about 'mistakes' you've made while packing. Things like whether you'd packed things you realised were pointless, or not packed things you realised were vital, and had to scramble about trying to find them. Maybe you'd accidentally packed something that became serendipitously useful. Or the opposite; you'd forgotten you'd packed something that caused you hassle later on in your journey. Topics discussed include: * How not to make a podcast studio on the cheap * Twitter Spaces * Lying on website security questions * Why you shouldn't take a beard trimmer on a backpacking trip * Universal Travel Adaptors are a bit overkill * Buying things because you need them * Things you never use when travelling * Things Not To Pack When Entering Israel * Border Security: Australia's Front Line * Why I regularly lose water bottles, hats, and coats * How I nearly got trapped in the Andean foothills of Chile * Packing things that turn out really useful Contributions in this episode come from: * Alexei from * Darlene from * Martha from * Amanda from .

Podcast 051 - London (Northeast of the River)
Hello! This is Part Three of my podcast episode on London. This concludes my journey around London, and in this episode I look at those boroughs northeast of the river. It appears that again, few of these boroughs are that well known, even by me. Topics discussed include: * A holiday period of beer and underwhelming activities * Dungarees and running. Not at the same time * Islington - Monopoly and Transport * Hackney - Old churches and even older theatres. And football * Waltham Forest - Where your grandmother got her fashion ideas from * Newham - Luton-on-the-Thames * Redbridge - ... where? The borough that meets all your #OneHourOutside needs * Dagenham & Redbridge - Let's take a ride in the Ford tonight, in suburbia * Havering - Little England There are two contributions in this episode.

Well, here I'm going Beyond The Monopoly Board to bring you thoughts and information from places you might not have heard of, with help from some of the people who live there.

While writing the script I realised there were a whole myriad of related subjects like palm oil, deforestation, agriculture, motoring, sustainable travel, and lifestyle changes that would better be served being in their own podcast. Think of this pod therefore as being 'Part One' - Part Two will be episode 51, in three episodes time.

I also go into some of the mental health concerns, and talk about how very often coming out to yourself makes you realise the clues had been there for years, it was just a case of recognising them for what they were.

This podcast is an overview of my experiences in the Orkney Islands, when I visited back at the end of May. They're not a group of islands that are that well-known in the UK, as they feel kind of just 'a little too far' from most people, who'll tend to visit more accessible places like Skye and Mull. Much of the pod is also putting my experiences into context; for instance the islands have a very long history of human habitation and some of the sites I visited are very special.

Podcast 042 - Influencers & Political Responsibility
I wasn't sure what to call this episode. It covers influencer ethics, but in a largely political sense rather than ethical travel itself. In essence, I'm looking at whether travel bloggers and influencers have a responsibility to their audience to be mindful of political and ethical concerns of the destinations they/we visit, and whether we should consider avoiding destinations if their government or culture is at odds with our own brand ethics and image.

Podcast 041 - Influencer Integrity
Influencer Integrity. It's a topic often discussed online, but what does it mean? Does it matter if travel bloggers spend most of their time being paid to promote products, if they're open about it? Would you trust a travel blogger to sell you a destination? And do you have to be paid to be an influencer anyway? I also look at whether influencers are allowed to be critical of a destination, or even if they're obliged to be honest to the extent of being critical, where it's necessary.
