  • Ep. 11 - Dracula’s Whitby & haunted tourist spots

    Ep. 11 - Dracula’s Whitby & haunted tourist spots
    Oct 27 2022
    It's a scream! We start our spine-tinglingly special Halloween episode with a warning that Andrea plays a prank on Heidi during our Where in the World game and Heidi (literally) jumps out of her chair. If you don't like screams fast-forward but it is very, very funny. Then we make our way to Whitby - the isolated harbour town on England's north east coast that was the inspiration for Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, Dracula. While the ruins of the 7th century Whitby Abbey loom large over the town, Whitby is also famous for fish & chips; a Captain Cook museum; a fascinating Victorian library and ghoulish ghost and vampire walking tours. Andrea gives the low down on her recent trip there her stay at the fabulously kitsch and antique-filled La Rosa hotel. We round off the episode with the Top 5 Lesser Known Haunted Places Around the World according to Lonely Planet. A magnetic hill though - really guys? Here's the full list - Magnetic Hill, Moldova; Daksa island, Croatia; Ross Castle, Co. Meath, Ireland; LaLaurie Mansion, New Orleans and Fort Garry, Winnipeg.

If we plug them enough, we hope that one day they'll get into the charts and buy us a pint. Thanks for listening!

  • Ep. 10 - Pittsburgh - steel, sports, space & Ulster-Scots

    Ep. 10 - Pittsburgh - steel, sports, space & Ulster-Scots
    Jul 10 2022
    Go Yinzers! We devote this episode to Pittsburgh, PA, a.k.a. Steel City Pennsylvania. After Andrea's fab visit there in Spring 2022 we knew we had to deep dive into this fantastic place, with our usual Where In The World brain-teaser (clue: the answer is not Pittsburgh) and a departure lounge chat with the fact- and fun-filled Corrie from Walk The Burgh Tours. Our Top 5 this episode is devoted to Only in Pittsburgh attractions - its 446 bridges; the Moonshot Museum; Wigle Whisky; the Andy Warhol Museum and the famous Primanti Bros. sandwiches. And we do all this while sipping on two of the city's famous libations, Engine House 25 wine and the aforementioned Wigle Whisky, because, well, who wouldn't? We learn that Andrew Carnegie seems to have named many of Pittsburgh's attractions after himself (well, he did pay for them, after all) and we discover the fascinating Ulster-Scots / Scots-Irish history and language of the city, and wider Pennsylvania area in general. Andrea also keeps up the TIYP podcast tradition of totally mis-pronouncing proper nouns and so, apologies the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers! Thank you to everyone at Visit Pittsburgh - do visit them online to find out exactly why your next trip should be there: www.visitpittsburgh.com. And finally, thank you to all the Yinzers Andrea met on her trip - you are the friendliest, most helpful and fun bunch of people! SUBSCRIBE to our podcast - it would absolutely make our day!

  • Ep 8 - Titanic - the ill-fated liner for tourists

    Ep 8 - Titanic - the ill-fated liner for tourists
    Apr 29 2022
    We mark the 110th anniversary of the sinking of RMS Titanic with a tour of Titanic Belfast, the £multi-million visitor attraction built on the launch site of the ill-fated ship. The maritime theme continues with our ever-present segments designed to test even the hardiest of Titanoraks. Can Andrea guess Heidi's particularly abstract Where In The World destination? And which of the other Top Five Titanic-linked locations has Andrea explored? We discuss The Titanic Graveyard in Halifax, Nova Scotia; the Titanic Museum, Pigeon Forge, Tennessee; Titanic – the Artefact Exhibition in Las Vegas, Nevada; our very own Titanic Belfast and the Sea City Museum in Southampton, England. SUBSCRIBE to our podcast for lots more travel insights and musings: Instagram - @travelinyourpocketpodcast Twitter - @Travel_IYP Facebook - @TravelInYourPocketPodcast Near, far, whereeeeever they are, our hearts will go on for our good friends at Northern Ireland band 3D Shark, who provide our theme tune. Thanks for listening and see you next month!
