LOW SEASON MOROCCO
In this episode, Ged is joined by Hicham Alaoui, co-Founder of Experience Morocco – a travel company which creates experiences that open minds and invites guests to build a lasting connection with this wonderful country. In doing so, Hicham believes that travel can be more than tourism - it can be a unifying experience that makes the global feel a little bit more local.
SCOTTISH WHISKY: THE WATER OF LIFE
Known as Uisge Beatha or the Water of Life, whisky is and always has been, integral to Scottish cultural heritage. Honor and Vikki return to talk all things whisky this week covering everything from cover it all, from its origins, to the moment you taste it. Vikki’s business partner Charles MacLean is a world-leading whisky expert, and argues there is a whisky for everyone; all you need is a bar and a knowledgable barman. So, settle in as we dispel myths, tackle tricky terminology and discuss Vikki’s top distilleries.
