Wonderful Radio Flanagan

Back in 2001 I got involved in a charity called SCOPE and ended up on a 5 day/4 night trek up the Andes Mountains in Peru to the sacred Inca temple city of Machu Picchu. This 1:42:35s podcast - that's right - one hour and forty two minutes takes you through the whole adventure. It's in three parts:

• Part One - (20 minutes) - All about how I got involved with Scope and how I ended up in Peru.
• Part Two - (36 minutes) - Cusco & coca leaves. 
• Part Three - (46 minutes) - The Trek. Camps, hiking, Machu Picchu, hints and tips - and oodles to great stories and audio content from the trip itself.

If you haven't done this trek yet - do it now. If you have done this trek - I hope you've found this podcast brought back memories and made you smile.

Searching for your ancestors? Me too. Damned interesting isn't it? I got into the car this evening and decided to tell you my recent foray into finding out about my family. 

So I arrived in Los Angeles after three long days on a Greyhound Bus. What a journey that was! (You'll have to go back to Part One to listen about that). 

Now it was time to experience the Land Of Fruit & Nuts - sunny California and all it had to offer.

What happens in this show? I changed my name once (nearly twice!), almost get ripped to pieces, and find myself in the Beverly Hills Yacht Club!

Everyone was talking about doing podcasts on YouTube and saving the audio and blah, blah, blah. And I thought - "Wait a minute - I've got loads of Facebook Livefeed videos where I'm just wandering around describing things. They'd make cool little podcasts?!" 

So, this is the first one from a business trip to a small market town called Stamford up in the county of Lincolnshire, England back in the Winter of 2016.

The "back story" behind this is that I'd just finished dinner in my hotel, and I went out to find a shop to purchase a bottle of water (at a much cheaper price than in the hotel). I also wanted to get out and discover the town. As it happens... well... you'll listen to what happens.

Note: Throughout the audio you you'll hear me pause and then answer someone or make a comment to someone - that's me reading the comments on my iPhone from people who were viewing the live video.

This podcast also hails the introduction of my new rebranded intro and intro - "WRF".

In the summer of 1988 I headed west... across the Atlantic to New York... and then across to California on several Greyhound Buses. A three day trip full of caffeine tablets, Devil worshippers and fast food!
