Hello and welcome to episode 51 of our podcast.  In this episode we are having a bit of a show and tell.  We have hit some incredible numbers with our podcast and wanted to take the time to share with you and also reflect on our first full 12 months of podcasting. We tell you our downloads stats, the countries that listen in and the most popular and least popular episodes. We also share how our process has changed from our first episode in Paris up to now, as we are planning for our next series which we have coming up. As this episode is published (May 2023) we are off to Italy and will be doing lots of episodes as we go – in our usuall style of fun, informative and of course sharing the best places to enjoy a glass of wine in each city. Listen to the end where we tell you our itinerary and the very exciting reason we changed our plans from going to Milan and are now having a weekend in Bologna (think fast cars). Also listen to find out how you can help us with our travel plans in Italy - and also, we give you 11 ways – yep that's 11 – that you can show support and help us grow the podcast – and none of them involve money. Oh, and if you want to receive a digital postcard each week from Italy – then I will tell you how to do that as well.
