In this special episode of A Life in Sound from The Listening Planet, Martyn Stewart returns to England for a journey that is at once deeply personal, profoundly nostalgic, and unexpectedly historic. Fresh from receiving an OBE from King Charles at Windsor Castle for services to nature, Martyn joins Amanda for an intimate conversation about honour, homecoming, and the soundscapes that first taught him how to listen.The episode begins with the extraordinary story of the award itself: the mysterious phone calls Martyn initially dismissed as a scam, the family intervention required to convince him the honour was real, and the surreal experience of arriving at Windsor Castle to discover that it would be the King himself conducting the investiture. For Martyn — a Birmingham-born son of the council estates who built a life documenting the disappearing voices of the natural world — the moment is almost impossible to comprehend. It is moving, funny and deeply human, revealing both his humility and his enduring disbelief at being recognised in this way.But this episode is about much more than ceremony. It is also a return to origins. Together, Martyn and Amanda journey back through England's landscapes and through Martyn's own memories: to the dawn chorus of his childhood, the bluebell woods that offered refuge and solace, and the rivers, forests, marshes and moorlands that shaped his earliest recordings. With extraordinary vividness, Martyn evokes the robin before dawn, the wren, the blackbird, the song thrush, the curlew, the kingfisher and the bittern, revealing not just what these places sound like, but what they mean.At the heart of the episode is Martyn's idea of sound as a time machine. His vast archive allows him to travel back decades and hear the world as it once was — a world richer in birdsong, quieter in its human footprint, and more alive to the subtle textures of the natural world. When recordings from 50 years ago are set against contemporary returns to the same places, the contrast is both fascinating and devastating. The result is an episode that captures the beauty of England's living soundscape while also confronting the losses brought by development, habitat change and modern noise.Travelling from the bluebell woods of Birmingham to the Peak District, the Wye Valley, Thetford Forest and the Norfolk Broads, Martyn builds an auditory map of England through memory, wildlife and wonder. Along the way, he reflects on the craft of sound recording, the patience it demands, and the heightened awareness required to truly hear what nature is saying. This is not only a story of birds and places, but of perception itself — of learning to listen beyond the obvious, and of what becomes possible when we do.Rich with humour, feeling and hard-won wisdom, this is an episode about belonging, recognition, loss and reverence. It is a portrait of England as heard through one of the world's great wildlife sound recordists, and a reminder that the sounds of home can shape an entire life.

In this episode of the Special Culinary Series, I'm joined by Chef Neha Mishra - the visionary behind Kinoya in Dubai and the woman many first knew as the “Ramen Girl” hosting intimate supper clubs before building one of the city's most celebrated restaurants. On this episode, Neha takes us across continents through flavor, philosophy and deeply personal food memories - from Tokyo's ramen counters to the Himalayas at 16,000 feet. Destination Highlights & Culinary Insights: 1. Japan - The art of perfection.   Japan, for Neha, represents devotion - to craft, to ingredients and to doing one thing exceptionally well. • Ramen culture and why simplicity equals mastery. • How to explore Japan on a budget - eating where locals eat. • Traditional Japanese breakfasts and bento spreads. • Public transport in Japan makes exploration seamless. • “Memory Lane” (Omoide Yokocho-style alleyways) for affordable eats.           https://en.shinjuku-omoide.com/ 2. India – Where food is a ‘love language'. Neha talks about the diversity of India and how every region there is its own eco system with distinct culinary identities. A trip to India is a reminder that food isn't about complexity, it's about connection. • The architecture and soul of South Bombay(South Mumbai). • South Indian cuisine as one of the most underrated global food cultures. • A transformative trip to Spiti Valley near Ladakh and mindful meals at 16,000 feet in the Himalayas. • Single-ingredient cooking. 3. Italy – Slow living and Sacred tables. • Produce-driven cooking: olives, olive oil, tomatoes. • Landscape and longevity and how environment shapes cuisine. 4. Georgia – Unexpected beauty. Beyond the food, it is the landscape and culture that linger. This is a destination where hospitality and history intertwine and is definitely a place that deserves far more global attention than it receives. 5. Vietnam, Thailand and Southeast Asia - The street food masters. Southeast Asia is where street food becomes storytelling. 6. Brazil – Best street food. • Sunday markets and neighborhood food culture. • Street discoveries that rival fine dining. 7. Mexico – Culinary immersion.

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James returns from New Zealand and joins Simon Scott for an honest and surprisingly positive conversation about travelling as a neurodivergent person.From long-haul flights and jet lag to airport anxiety and invisible disability accommodations, they reflect on how different this trip felt compared to previous travel experiences. Jordan shares how advocating for pre-boarding, using the sunflower lanyard, and clearly communicating needs made a significant difference — and why asking for accommodations can completely change the experience of flying.They also explore the cognitive and sensory impact of jet lag, navigating time zone shifts, balancing FOMO with regulation, and knowing when to cancel plans instead of pushing through burnout.This episode explores:Travelling with invisible disabilitiesAdvocating for airport accommodationsSunflower lanyards and pre-boardingLong-haul flights and neurodivergent sensory stressJet lag and ADHD brain fogFOMO vs nervous system regulationSpecial interests and travel intensityBeing present vs filming everythingPost-holiday blues and returning to routineA relaxed but reflective episode about autonomy, accessibility, travel anxiety, and learning to prioritise regulation over pressure — even when you're standing at Mount Doom.Our Sponsors:

Travelling as a blind passenger can be a mix of comedy, frustration, and tech discovery. Steven Scott shares his delayed journey from Vienna, encounters with chatty robots, inaccessible airports, and the reality of airport assistance for blind travellers—plus the apps and tools that saved the day. In this episode of Double Tap, Steven Scott returns from a snowy Vienna with stories of flight cancellations, unexpected overnight stays, and surreal encounters with plate-collecting robots. He dives into the challenges blind travellers face at airports, from being left at gates for hours to the lack of independence in exploring shops and cafés. Steven and Shaun discuss how apps like Curb to Car, Be My Eyes, and Aira made a huge difference, and debate the need for more flexible airport assistance—perhaps even an “upgrade” option for travellers who value autonomy. The conversation also explores future solutions, including AI-powered navigation, LIDAR apps like EyeGuide, and why better Wi-Fi could transform independent travel experiences.

She has loved creative writing ever since she was very young. As an adult, she studied under the poet and author Dr Gladys Mary Coles,namong other writers. It was at these Creative writing classes in Chester that she met her husband, Andrew.As a poet, she has had two collections published. Her pamphlet ‘Beyond the Glass' came first in a national poetry competition run by Thynks Publications.

Sashank Varma | Interactive Computing / Psychology | Georgia Institute of Technology "The Travelling Salesperson Problem: How Humans 'Efficiently' Solve a Problem Which is 'Hard' for Computers" “The Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP) is an important problem in mathematics and computer science. A TSP instance is a set of points. To solve it is to produce a ‘tour' that starts at one point and returns to it after visiting all other points exactly once, and to solve it optimally is to produce a tour of minimum length. As far as we know, computers cannot solve this problem optimally. It is therefore surprising that, for small instances, people produce tours that are near-optimal (i.e., within 10% of the minimal length), and they do so in time linear in the number of points. To accomplish this remarkable feat, we propose that they adopt a divide-and-conquer strategy: first visually clustering the points, then solving each cluster as a smaller TSP instance, and finally joining together these solutions to solve the overall problem. We provide evidence for this proposal in three behavioral experiments and one computational experiment. These findings establish the psychological viability of the divide-and-conquer strategy for solving the TSP, and they set the stage for future studies of how people tame the complexity of computationally ‘hard' problems.” If you would like to become an AFFILIATE of the Center, please let us know.Subscribe to our YouTube channel to get updates on our latest videos.Follow along with us on Instagram | Facebook NOTE: The views and opinions expressed by the speaker do not necessarily reflect those held by the Center for Mind, Brain, and Culture or Emory University.

In this Delirious WEST 2026 – Check-In 3 episode, I catch up with Kylie Bell to see how training is tracking as the race starts to feel very real. Kylie shares how she's juggling busy shift work, limited time, and long-term ultra prep – including running to work, doing a full shift, then running home again (yes, really). We chat about training on tired legs, getting night running dialled in, and why consistency beats perfection right now. We also talk through: • Strength work coming back into focus • Testing packs, poles, shoes, and backup gear (including zip ties and hair ties!) • Nutrition learnings from Kosciuszko and keeping things simple • Travelling to Japan mid-build and why hiking + moving still counts • Heat worries, weather roulette, and hoping April behaves itself • Crew planning, laminated cheat sheets, and why support crews deserve medals • The fine line between experience and complacency   Kylie brings her trademark calm confidence – not stressed, not panicking, just quietly getting the work done. A great listen if you're balancing life, work, and big endurance goals… or if you've ever thought, “Am I doing enough?”   Delirious WEST event Website – https://deliriouswest200miler.com.au/ Event Facebook Page – https://www.facebook.com/groups/1428304207182387

On the podcast this week, staff writer Francis Martin speaks to the Bishop of Gloucester, the Rt Revd Rachel Treweek, about her recent trip to Israel and Palestine. Travelling with the Bishops of Norwich and Chelmsford, Bishop Treweek met Anglicans across the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem. The bishops planted olive trees in the al-Makhrour valley near Bethlehem, with members of the group Rabbis for Human Rights. “Words are not enough,” she says, as a response to the situation affecting Palestinians, and suggests that the UK Government is “complicit in the occupation” of the West Bank.

Travelling safely, until.. more Vampires

Travelling to the US could soon become an app-based dystopia where facial scans and social media tracking are the norm, so writes Adrian Weckler for the Irish IndependentThis update has tightened the traditional Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA), which the vast majority of Irish people rely on for travel to the States.This begs the question, as security tightens, is this the start of further restrictions on travel to the US?Joining me now to explain this further is Technology editor of the Irish Independent, Adrian Weckler and Professor And Political Analyst Clinton Institute UCD, Scott Lucas.

There's no denying that technology plays — and will continue to play — a critical role in addressing the climate crisis. But could super-intelligent AI actually solve the problem for us, as several tech billionaires claim? Or is this over-reliance on speculative technology simply a way to distract us from tackling big, real-world problems.

After experiencing Bhutan — a destination that sat at the very top of my travel list for years — I found myself in an unexpected place. Not rushing to plan the next trip, not chasing the next highlight, but sitting in a quiet lull and asking myself a simple question: what places won't leave my mind now?In this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I share 16 places I can't stop thinking about travelling to right now — not as a bucket list, not as recommendations, but as an honest reflection on how travel inspiration shifts over time.Some of these destinations are familiar and grounding. Others are remote, challenging, or expansive in ways that feel both exciting and intimidating. From places shaped by silence and space, to cultures that feel like crossroads, to one destination that represents a deep exhale after years of movement, this episode explores why certain places keep calling — even when you're not ready to book a flight.Rather than counting down landmarks, I talk candidly about:What draws people to these places in the first placeWhy they keep resurfacing in my mindHow travel motivation changes after a trip that truly deliversThis is a reflective, solo episode for travellers who've ever finished a big trip and thought, “What now?”

Send us a textLet me ask you something real. How are you supposed to stay healthy when your life feels completely unpredictable? When your schedule changes every week, you're in a different city constantly, you're running a national organization, and you're parenting four kids at the same time.That's exactly why I wanted you to hear this conversation with Rebecca Bagley.Before we met, Rebecca was stuck in a familiar cycle. Tracking her food when life felt manageable, then dropping everything the moment work, travel, or family demands ramped up. Weight would creep on, especially through menopause, and every attempt to “get back on track” felt harder to sustain than the last.In this episode, Rebecca shares how she finally broke that pattern, not with perfection or rigid rules, but with habits, identity shifts, and systems that actually work when life is chaotic. We talk about the all-or-nothing mindset, decision fatigue, and why consistency has far more to do with mental bandwidth than motivation.Rebecca walks us through her exact travel strategies, from how she packs food for flights and hotels to the airport hack I wish I had learned years ago. But what really stood out to me was her mindset shift. She stopped trying to be “good” and started identifying as a healthy person. That identity made it easier to reset after indulgent meals, choose what actually made her feel better, and stay consistent even when nothing else in her schedule was.If you travel often, work long hours, or feel like your life is too messy to support healthy habits, this episode is proof that consistency doesn't come from having a calm life. It comes from building habits that can survive a busy one.What's Inside:Why unpredictable schedules make habits harder and how to work with that realityRebecca's simple travel systems for food, workouts, and decision fatigueThe mindset shift from tracking and control to identity and habitsHow to reset without guilt when travel treats and stress creep inIf you've been telling yourself you'll focus on your health when life settles down, let this episode be your permission slip. You don't need perfect routines. You need flexible systems and an identity that brings you back to your next choice without punishment.I'd love to hear from you. DM me on Instagram and tell me, what's one habit you could simplify this week to make healthy choices easier when life gets busy?Mentioned in This Episode:FitFeelsGood.com/travelOonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

What does it mean to challenge the limits of both body and mind—and to redefine what success looks like along the way? Denisa Krásná, scholar, author, and adventurer from the Czech Republic, takes us on a journey into the world of women in extreme sports. From her early days trekking with her parents to highlining hundreds of meters above the ground, Denisa has always been drawn to adventure, isolation, and pushing herself beyond comfort. She co-edited Flow: Women's Counternarratives from Rivers, Rock, and Sky, an inspiring anthology celebrating diverse women's voices in adventure sports—whitewater kayaking, climbing, mountaineering, and highlining—challenging stereotypes and redefining what it means to be successful in the outdoors. In this episode, we explore: Denisa's path from scholar to adventurer and author How fear, frustration, and failure can become tools for growth The mental game behind highlining and extreme sports Stories of resilience, creativity, and empowerment from women across the globe Why inclusivity, mentorship, and community are key to thriving in adventure sports Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, a woman seeking inspiration, or simply curious about the stories behind extreme adventure, Denisa's insights will leave you reflecting on your own limits—and inspired to push past them. Tune in for a conversation about courage, flow, and the power of women redefining adventure on their own terms. ***

Hello friends of the History of the Germans. Great news, the tour is on!We have set up a website where you can sign up. I have put a link in the show notes, as well as on my website History of the Germans in the Travel, maps and Books section. Sign up here: History of the Germans Podcast Tour - BikePlanetWe will be travelling on the passenger ship Iris, a converted classic Rhine barge. Travelling by boat is - unsurprisingly - one of my favourite ways to see the world. We do not have to get in and out of hotels, we have breakfast and dinner in spectacular scenery and can see the sights as most travellers did before the invention of the motorcar. Note that Iris has capacity for only 25 passengers in double cabins, so speed is of the essence.... Should there be more demand than we can fulfil, we will give priority to patrons.So what are we going to do? Subject to the usual caveats, we are planning to meet in Aschaffenburg near Frankfurt and then travel along the Main and Rhine rivers via Frankfurt, Mainz, Eltville, Braubach, Koblenz, Andernach, Remagen to Cologne with a trip up to Aachen. The tour will end in Düsseldorf.
