Travel destinations for bookworms

from The Pod Well Travelled Hosted by The West Australian

In this week's episode, special guest Will Yeoman from Writing WA returns to The Pod Well Travelled to chat about literary-inspired travel destinations with fashion writer and stylist Megan French and travel editor Stephen Scourfield. From the Bronte Parsonage Museum in Haworth to Dylan Thomas' writing shed in Wales, join the trio of bookworms as they dive into their favourite literary hotspots. During the show, they discuss top writing festivals around the world including the iconic Hay Festival in Wales and India's Jaipur Literature Festival, as well as Singapore's annual multi-lingual event. Stephen shares an author's perspective and reveals the West Australian landscapes that inspired his novels Other Country and As The River Runs. And, we hear about what's important to consider when planning and attending a literary festival from Will, a past director of the York Writers Festival, New Norcia Writers Festival and Perth Festival Writers Week. + Subscribe to The Pod Well Travelled where you get your podcasts — and share it to your family and friends. + Follow us on our TikTok @thepodwelltravelled and Instagram @thepod_welltravelled accounts for more content from the Travel team. + For more on literary and writing, check out Writing WA's podcast, Podstreet, featuring West Australian authors, poets, essayists, booksellers, publishers and other industry professionals.
