If relaunching legendary magazine The Face wasn’t enough to place his finger on the pulse on fashion, style and design, then we might mention the creative visionary Dan Flower’s work as the Creative Director of Soho House – or his involvement with an eye-boggling array of media and digital culture stalwarts over the years. If it’s been worth looking at, listening to, or reading, then you can be pretty sure that Dan has had a hand in it.

Understandably, this work has taken Dan all around the world. In this episode, he talks Tobago, chats about his childhood in Philadelphia, deconstructs the history of Berlin’s DIY culture, and tackles travel’s complex relationship with the power of nostalgia – and a whole lot more.

When it comes to designing the perfect hotel, mood is everything. James Lohan should know; as the founder of boutique hotel bible Mr & Mrs Smith, he – alongside Tamara Lohan, his wife and business partner – helped us forget star ratings and thread counts and to embrace the idea that hotels are conveyors of emotion.

In this episode, James shares his insights, tips, and expertise from a life spent thinking critically about the places where travelers sleep. You can also expect a spirited panegyric to Ibiza, as well his essential picks for hotels and destinations you don’t want to miss. In his words: “don’t just go to the obvious places; go deeper”. We couldn’t agree more.

As Travel Editor of the Financial Times – and an award-winning journalist to boot – Tom Robbins is no stranger to the wild ways of the world. If you can think of it, he's probably done it.

In this episode, Tom takes us cod fishing in Greenland, trekking in the Alps, and wandering off the Himalayan tourist trail. It's all big, emotional stuff that leaves us thinking (as Tom puts it), "I can't believe they're letting me do this". Disbelief can be a powerful thing.

This episode also features our first reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. We knew it wouldn't take long.
