We’re still riding high in Apple Podcasts places and travel charts all around the world, including several days at number 1 in the UK and as high as number 16 in the US so I want to thank you once again for all our loyal listeners and welcome all new listeners.  My guest today is someone I’ve ALWAYS wanted to get on the podcast. This interview was my last trip into the centre of London before lockdown and I went to the stunning The London Library in the beautiful St James Square in Westminster to meet her.  With her best-selling and impeccably researched historical novels, Victoria Hislop has the power to transport you through both place and time. Her books have sold millions around the world and been translated into over 35 languages. A former travel writer she divides her time between Athens, Crete and England and the inspiration for her stories come from anything from a leprosy colony in the Greek Islands to Garcia Lorca’s family home in Granada. I’ve been a fan of her work for a long time so I’m delighted to have Victoria Hislop on The Big Travel Podcast. On this episode we cover: Her latest book Those Who Are Loved about the Greek Civil War (out now in hardback and paperback by August 2020) Her first book The Island selling over 2 million copies around the world and Travelling and writing books (a charmed life!) Starting as a travel journalist The Greek leprosy colony Spinalonga that inspired The Island How the story incredibly ‘emerged’ in the first hour of visiting the island People leaving something of their story behind in a way Feeling like she was almost ‘channelling’ the energy left behind Her second book The Return based in Spain during the Spanish Civil War Being just outside Granada when the idea come to her Garcia Lorca’s Granada family home being spine-tingling The lack of acknowledgment of the Civil War since Franco The mausoleum to General Franco in the Valley of the Fallen The definite sense that people were visiting to pay homage to a fascist Spain’s quietly divided society under Franco People now being brave enough to track family members Lisa’s dissertation (yes really!) on Spanish design reflecting culture The shadow Franco cast over Spain A population in mourning but shops selling out of champagne Being very moved by watching Franco’s recent exhumation to unmarked grave Kitsch souvenirs in homage to Franco Lisa previously meeting Victoria and her husband Ian Hislop on a flight with Martin Lewis the Money Saving Expert Victoria loving Malaga city and its regeneration Malaga previously having a heroin problem Flamenco and gypsy culture encapsulating Andalucían spirit Being almost nostalgic about the Brexit argument now Coronavirus has replaced it! How suppressed cultures can thrive underground in times of adversity The Greek Civil War being a very vicious period in Greece Hundreds of thousand of Greek’s dying from starvation after the Nazis Nazis destroying roads, railways and bridges on their way out The big resistance movement in Greece The communist resistance fighters expecting roles in Government British sending troops to fight the communists in Greece The differences between post-civil war in Greece and Spain Lisa meeting the tourism minister in Athens Loving travel but being slightly conflicted about travel Her children being cross with her for taking unnecessary flights Off-setting flights when possible Feeling if she lived in Greece she would be too tied down in daily life Sunshine being incredibly good for us How the sunshine can make you feel happy The excitement of London But the lure of a laid back lifestyle in the sunshine Travelling frequently to Colombia Long-haul trips at Christmas Working on the TV set when The Island was turned into a TV drama Her poem being turned into a hit song by Greek popstar Eleonora Zouganeli Winning a Sony Gold award for the song

It has become something of a received wisdom within the present day that the mainstream media exist as the pinnacle of what is possible in sports journalism. Whilst it is not in our interest to reject this assumption, here at A Team of John O’Sheas we believe that some of the most perceptive insight regarding the top teams in the country comes from the fans themselves. In the course of this podcast series, we will be bringing together some of the most influential fans from across the Premier League to give you the low-down on the teams that they watch week in, week out. We’ll look back over the season just gone, try to get a handle on the transfer activity that rumbles on through the summer months, and look forwards to the next season which, as always, seems to creep up on us with ever increasing speed. In this episode, we’re back in the country’s capital city. Named after the famous exhibition on the site of whose ground they used to play, Crystal Palace have more recently established themselves as regulars in the Premier League. Having spent much of the 90s and 2000s in the second tier of English football, Palace are now enjoying a 4th consecutive season at the pinnacle of the football leagues. However, this dependability in the league has certainly not been matched in the dugout: you have to go back to 2009 before you find a calendar year in which Palace didn’t appoint a new manager with eleven managerial changes taking place in the last 5 years alone. With Frank de Boer now at the helm, the Eagles will no doubt be hoping for a respite from this frenetic turnover. But will he reproduce the form that led to Ajax winning four Eredivisies in a row? Or will he simply repeat the embarrassment of Inter? Joining us on the show today are two luminaries of Crystal Palace fandom. Richard Foster is a freelance sportswriter and author, mainly about football. A regular features contributor for the Guardian, he also written for Sky Sports, Football League, a variety of websites like Set Pieces and plenty of Palace fanzines like Five Year Plan, Hopkin Looking To Curl One as well as match reports for sponsor Mansion. He also appears regularly on radio - talkSPORT, Radio 5Live, BBC Radio London - especially when Play-Offs are in town as he has written the definitive book - The Agony & The Ecstasy – on the history of the competition. Richard’s first Palace match was 18th October 1969 & all he can remember that there was a very angry man with bright red hair who was swearing at anyone who came close to him. His next book The A-Z of Football Niggles published by Ockley will be out next month and features a variety of stellar contributors including the one and only Kevin Day. Kevin Day is a comedian, writer and broadcaster. He has performed on many continents and written for people ranging from Dave Allen to Kevin Spacey via Ronnie Corbett, and he is well known as "that bloke who bangs on about Palace all the time". Obviously awards don't matter but he wants you to know that he won a Sony Gold award as part of 5Live's coverage of Cheltenham and he was nominated for a BAFTA in 2016 for writing A League of Their Own.

Q. There is a company called Search Initiatives that is looking for investors. It is supposedly going public sometime in the next year or so. Have you heard of it and if so, do you have any opinion on it? Thanks. "We have a firm commitment underwriting from Maxim Securities to raise at least $50 million. The IPO will not only provide our investors with liquidity but will provide Search Initiatives with the funds necessary to maintain our leadership in the U.S..." A. I've never heard of Search Initiatives, but a quick Google Search of "Search Initiatives IPO" reveals more than enough to make me run in the other direction. https://www.google.com/search?q=search+initiatives+ipo http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/Search-Initiatives-Elocal-Listing/nationwide/Search-Initiatives-Elocal-Listing-Investment-Scam-Temecula-California-338359 Scam Pre-IPO's – Company shares are offered directly to unsuspecting investors based on the premise that the company will be going public in the very near future. This exploitation plays on an investor's eagerness to partake in what could be a lucrative Initial Public Offering but, these companies either do not exist or are marginally successful and are not financially ready to "go public". And why doesn't anything about the supposed IPO with Maxim Securities leading the way come up if you Google https://www.google.com/search?q=search+initiatives+ipo+maxim Q. Any interest in $BABA sub 90? A. I think $BABA will go up. I don't want to risk my own hard-earned money on $BABA, a Chinese-based company based in Cayman Islands with a very convoluted share structure. Read this: "It is not clear after looking over the structure just what the hell the holder of the stk actually owns if anything, except for a piece of a shell corp in the Cayman Islands. It is like a modern derivative, a betting vehicle, more a state of mind that a productive piece of anything when push comes to shove. http://bit.ly/1DoO1Qf" Q. Are you expecting a big correction in Nasdaq?? A. No, I've been writing for the last week or so that, including in my report this morning that: "The path of least resistance for the broader stock markets remains sideways with a slight upward bias." Q. $AMBA: What are your expectations for $AMBA? I feel like I have missed the move up. Thanks. A. $AMBA'S been on fire but not as much as its higher-profile customer $GPRO. Looking out five years from now, I think you'll see teens wearing AMBA-based cams everywhere they go. I could see a HD-cam sales hitting 3-4 billion per year. Mobile phone unit sales are climbing towards 2 billion already and most all of those will have cameras in them, so a 3-4 billion unit per year market for HD cams and the chips that run them isn't that far off. Q. Hi Cody, Can you add color on $SNE? Aside from their library of titles, what attracts you to them? Also, do you think their recently announced TV box is a good move considering there are established competing products? Are you planning to add to lower your cost basis here? A. I've added near $18-19 on $SNE and am just letting that ride for now. I'd probably add if it got down closer to $16 and would definitely buy another tranche of SNE if it got down $15 or so. As for the reasons why-- remember $HPQ at $15 when it'd been crushed for messing up its businesses and overpaying for bad acquisitions and stuff? I think $SNE is similarly crushed for messing up its businesses right now and if they get the ship righted at all, the stock would double. If Sony wearables or TVs ever take off, the stock would triple or quadruple. And if everything on the planet goes right for Sony in the next few years, the stock could be a 5-10 bagger by this time next decade. Of course, if it doesn't right itself, the stock will be dead money and/or lower than its current $17ish quote. Q. Cody, what would be a good entry point for $AAPL? A. Glad you asked. I thought I'd included this paragraph in this morning's report too, but it seems it got cut off at the end for some reason (probably because I hit "Cut" to move it at one point and forgot to hit "Paste" later). "If I didn't own any $AAPL, I'd start scaling into it with a small tranche of about 1/5 of whatever a full position is for you without waiting for a pullback. Then I'd look at buying a second tranche if it gets hit even just 3-4% in the near-term. And then just be patient about buying the next two-three tranches. It's always possible that $AAPL gets hit 20% or more at some point, and although I don't expect that to happen any time soon, I've owned it for 11 years and it does happen." Q. Hi Cody. Love your service. Invaluable!! I get the tranche approach and always apply that strategy. I haven't established any positions in the 3-D printing basket, would you do so now? If so, just $SSYS? Or would you do $DDD as well? Thank you so much for your hard work and everything you do. As an aside, Scutify is the best!! A. We made some decent money owning $DDD early on in the 3-D Printing Bubble but I sold it long ago back in the $80s or so when I got sick of management's hype-ful press releases and the way I always felt like they were trying to sell me something when I heard them talk or met them. I'm sticking with SSYS but would definitely use a small tranche approach and start slowly with it and give it some room to pull back as you scale in over time. It's a very volatile stock and sector. Good luck. Thanks for the kind words too! Q. Cody: I am hearing lot of positives on $TWTR stock. What are you thinking of it for a near term into next earnings or so? A. I think $TWTR's doing much better monetizing their user base but I think they're struggling to grow that user base. Depending on what the markets weigh more in the next report, is how the stock will trade. I'd rather own $FB than $TWTR and I do. Q. Cody: I see that $AMZN is not getting any love and all the comps and some investors I know are positive $AMZN. Its earnings in October. I see you have $AMZN at 8 ratings and for short term do you see it goes up into earnings? A. Feet to fire, I'd rather be long than $AMZN into year-end and that's why I have it rated an 8 out of 10 right now. The company's lack of earnings power and margin power is in focus as Alibaba's $BABA's own earnings and margin power is so much stronger. Not a fair comparison, but who said the market is fair? I do think $AMZN can double from here over the next couple years if they keep growing top-line as fast as they have been for years now. Q. Cody, are you thinking of adding more physical gold at these levels or do you think there's more risk/lack of upside coming up? A. I've done my physical gold buying at these levels in months past and am not in any rush to add to my gold anytime soon. Gold and silver might be dead money and/or stuck in a down trend while this dollar rallies, as it has been and as it looks like it might for the foreseeable future.

RHLSTP #36: Helen and Olly from Answer Me This! - Okapi Sandwich. Richard is bristling from more anarchic behaviour in the swimming pool and pitching ideas for Dragon's Den. His guests are Helen Zaltzman and Olly Mann from rival Sony Gold and Silver (but crucially not bronze) winning podcast Answer Me This. They seem to hold some kind of grudge for Richard having made them his enemies in the old Collings and Herrin podcasts, but as Richard was under the thrall of his Herrin character he can't really remember anything about that. Anyway, it's an old-fashioned podclash! The conversation scales the heady heights of time-travelling genitalia, British Forces Broadcasting and how to get sacked from the Lorraine show. Is semen a powerful cologne? What happens if you fall in love with someone in an oil painting? Has Helen married a ghost? Will Richard be bummed to death by the end of the show and how would Olly's bumming sushi carousel work in practice?SUPPORT THE SHOW!Check out our website and become a badger and see extra content http://rhlstp.co.ukSee details of the RHLSTP tour dates http://richardherring.com/gigsBuy DVDs and Books at http://gofasterstripe.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
