New travel podcast with Clara Amfo explores inspiring travel stories with top guests
A brand-new podcast, Routes with Clara Amfo, is launching in collaboration with LNER on November 7, 2024, bringing listeners engaging travel stories and life experiences from notable guests including Tom Grennan, Candice Brathwaite, Babatunde Aleshe, and Arielle Free.
For UK-based business travellers, especially those familiar with journeys along the LNER East Coast Mainline, Routes offers a refreshing take on travel. Instead of the usual travel tips, Clara and her guests dive into the meaningful, personal and sometimes humorous side of travel, sharing moments that have influenced their lives, careers and outlooks.
This podcast’s blend of inspiration and relatability could resonate with business travellers who often find unique meaning in their journeys, whether domestic or international.
The podcast’s first episode features musician Tom Grennan, who reflects on transformative travel moments, from a childhood trip at age nine to discovering his passion for music during a visit to London with his mother.
In each episode, Clara Amfo creates a space for her guests to share their biggest travel moments, unexpected encounters, and even the annoyances they’ve encountered along the way.
Commenting on the podcast, Clara Amfo said,
I’m delighted to team up with LNER for the Routes podcast, where we get into the fun, personal and sometimes awkward side of travel! Travel has always been my way of embracing new experiences, and I love exploring during work and in my downtime. We have a great lineup of guests who all bring their unique and universal takes on what it is to step outside of their usual surroundings, that will hopefully inspire our listeners to do the same!
LNER’s Communications Director, Stuart Thomas, added,
I’m so excited about the launch of Routes with Clara Amfo, with a stellar guest list and a brilliant host. There’s nothing better than relaxing on one of our trains and listening to a podcast – and I know this one is going straight to the top of my list.
As well as being available through all the usual podcast channels, Routes will be available directly onboard LNER services using a seat-back QR code.
Paul Baker, Sales Director of Global Travel Management, commented,
It’s exciting to see the launch of Routes, a podcast that offers an entertaining and insightful look at what travel can mean to people from all walks of life. Business travellers who listen to Clara’s conversations are likely to find fresh inspiration and may even see parallels with their own travel experiences, whether they’re embarking on new opportunities or finding motivation during their journeys.
Routes with Clara Amfo will be available on all major podcast platforms and directly on LNER trains, offering easy access to the series for both regular and occasional travellers.
