Tonight, with no guests and Jonty away, it was just you, me and the music. We also thought about planning a road trip. Where would you go? Who would you take with you? Why would you take them?
This sparked lots of listener response. Bob Marley, around the Caribbean, because he was a spiritual man and he would know the best places to surf. Archbishop Justin Welby, around the U.K., because he has an impossible job and it would be good to hear his views. Geoff Hurst, Winston Churchill, Michael Pallin, Michael Portillo, Alexi Polizzi, Clint Eastwood and Lemmy. Then a trip to see Polar bears with Earl Carpenter, so he could sing all the songs from Phantom of the Opera over and over again. Then there was taking Rog Hodgson for a trip around Wales and asking why he got the tactics so wrong. David Cameron, Rory Mcllroy, Angela Merkel, Adele, Julia Bradbury around the Midlands with her maps, Rick Stein around East Anglia to teach cooking at different restaurants and Dimitri Payet. I was asked my trip, which would be Route 66 in USA with Abraham Lincoln. This went down well with David, listening live tonight in Washington DC, where the show was 3 – 5 p.m.
