Travel destinations for bookworms

In this week’s episode, special guest William 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 hot spots.

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 multilingual 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 writer’s festival from Will, a past director of the York Writers Festival, New Norcia Writers’ Festival and Perth Festival Writers Week.
