Hi Ben,
During one of your podcasts,you requested information about other travel podcasts.
Trends ,taste and travel with Captain Cy is very amusing.He is an airline pilot with a passion for Cognac and fine cigars!
My only complaint is that there is far too much advertising.However,most of the audio feeds are an hour long.
Travel expert and writer of 30 European travel books,Rick Steves,has a weekly radio show that is very good also.
Notes from Spain though,is by far,my favourite podcast for several reasons:
1.Diversity of themes.
2.Interesting audio walking tours.
3.Informality and humour.(I also enjoy Marina's comments and the chemistry between the two of you)
Some of the more commercial podcasts(ie.lonely planet and virgin atlantic)have been rather disappointing.

Thanks Celia. I've heard Rick Steves but I will definitely check out Captain Cy.

This is sort of out of context, but Rick Steves is a really nice guy, he doesn't live far from me...But anyway he was on the local news last month for legalizing marijuana. I just thought that was funny.
