GWR sponsors Great Escapes podcast

GWR are delighted to sponsor Great Escapes, the podcast that sets off in search of fascinating stories, delicious food, and the quirkiest customs the UK has to offer.

Join Isy Suttie and Dan Skinner – two intrepid (and not always willing) travellers – as they explore towns and cities, meet unforgettable characters, try regional delicacies, and get roped into activities no one properly agreed to. Camping under the stars? Wild swimming? Cornish wrestling? One of them’s keen. The other’s calling their agent.

It’s part travelogue, part comedy, and 100% fuelled by snacks, bickering, and unexpected detours.

Great Escapes – the only podcast where “trying new things” comes with a disclaimer. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
