This week I'm talking to Ria Lina about how all of entertainment could learn a thing or two from choosing a new Pope. We also chat about the 'bombshell' MRP poll suggesting Reform could be the biggest party at the next election (and how much would Farage love bossing Tories around). In the Patreon only we look at the upcoming first 100 days of Trump and conclude that sometimes we should all be more Donald.  CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There's No Bloke Without Fire'.

Today's guest is quite literally a national treasure. She's a Dame, a queen of the kitchen, an author, a restaurateur, and of course, the judge who has been serving up wit and wisdom alongside cakes and crumbles on The Great British Bake Off since 2017… it is the one and only Dame Prue Leith.Born and raised in South Africa, Prue moved to London in the swinging Sixties and quickly became a force to be reckoned with in the culinary world. She founded Leith's - a hugely successful restaurant in Notting Hill that went on to earn a Michelin star - and later opened Leiths School of Food and Wine, which has trained generations of top chefs and food writers.Over the decades, she's written best-selling cookbooks and novels, been a newspaper columnist, a judge on the Great British Menu, and has sat on countless boards and advisory panels, all while campaigning tirelessly for better food in schools, hospitals, and prisons. Her impact on British food culture is hard to overstate. And now, at 85, she's showing no signs of slowing down. She's back on our screens in the new season of her wonderfully warm and personal ITV series, Prue Leith's Cotswold Kitchen, filmed in her beautiful country home, where she shares family recipes, chats with friends, and brings a bit of sunshine to our screens.If you thought Prue's adventures were limited to the kitchen, though, you can think again. From the deserts of Turkmenistan and the ancient silk roads of Uzbekistan to beach drives in Western Australia and mountain drives in Bhutan, her travel diaries are as rich and surprising as her legendary glasses collection.So settle in for a deliciously inspiring chat with a woman whose life has been anything but ordinary.Destination Recap:Holly:Elkstones, Chipping Campden, England (Part of Simon Escapes' collection)Prue:TurkmenistanUzbekistanAshgabat, TurkmenistanKruger National Park, South AfricaUmhlanga Rocks, KwaZulu-Natal, South AfricaIpswich, EnglandParis, FranceCape Town, South AfricaPerth, Western AustraliaKalgoorlie, Western AustraliaLucky Bay, Western AustraliaCore by Clare Smyth, London, EnglandCotswolds, EnglandBhutanAmir Temur Mausoleum, Gur-e Amir Complex, UzbekistanSharm El Sheikh, EgyptThe Kimberley, AustraliaPrue Leith's Cotswold Kitchen continues on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player on Saturday 19th April 2025With thanks to Wexas, Airbnb and Saily for their support of today's episode - Download the SAILY app and use our code TRAVELDIARIES at checkout to get an exclusive 15% off your first purchase Thanks so much for listening today.
