Let\u2019s look at some British travel podcasts giving a bit of travel inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where To Go<\/strong><\/a>, by DK Eyewitness, has an episode on \u2018Wild Great Britain<\/strong><\/a>,\u2019 where hosts James Atkinson and Lucy Richards are joined by the wildlife biologist Lizzie Daly. Ramblings<\/strong><\/a>, presented by Clare Balding, features walks in some of the most beautiful places in the British countryside, with recent episodes featuring walks in Orkney and Warwickshire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Walk This Way<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>is a podcast exploring the long distance paths throughout the UK, with a new series exploring the Gloucestershire Way<\/strong><\/a>. <\/strong>Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler\u2019s Women Who Travel<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>features an interview with the celebrated ornithologist Mya Rose Craig<\/strong><\/a> on the best place to spot birds. Meanwhile, Simon Calder\u2019s Independent Travel Podcast<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>is out daily, with the latest travel news shared in under seven minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And as millions of us travel across the country for a short break, Dan Snow\u2019s History Hit<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>is about to start his own. In an upcoming mini-series he will guide you through 10,000 years of modern English history from the different sights he encounters on his trip. Listen out for it in the middle of May and follow updates on @thehistoryguy.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n As we are now in the Easter Holidays, we\u2019ve rounded up some of the best and most thought provoking guests in British podcasting since the start of the year. You can find them in the section below.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n NOTABLE NAMES ON PODCASTS THIS WEEK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have listened to a great guest on a podcast, let us know by filling in <\/strong>this form<\/strong><\/a> and it might get featured in an upcoming newsletter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are our podcast picks for the week ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want your podcast featured, or you have an excellent recommendation, all you need to do is fill in this <\/strong>simple form<\/strong><\/a>.

Not much was known about her attackers, but luckily for Nicholson, the Victorians were great at record keeping everything from police reports to old newspapers, so he delves into the archives. \u201cWhen I found out about these men, it was not what I expected,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jack Whitehall\u2019s Safe Space<\/strong><\/a> – <\/strong>A new series of the Audible series where the comedian Jack Whitehall asks guests to recount embarrassing situations that they\u2019ve been in. Whitehall\u2019s career has thrived on awkward situations, such as Travels with My Father <\/em>on Netflix, so this is the perfect territory for him, with Whitehall reacting to these stories with his trademark sharp wit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Guests so far include the presenter Mo Gilligan and Mae Martin and the presenter Jamie Laing. Just so you know, you need to be an Audible subscriber to listen to this podcast, but this podcast does not use up any of your \u2018credits.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
