    Anglotopia Podcast: Episode 18 - Blenheim Palace, Portsmouth Dockyard, and Rousham Park

    Anglotopia Podcast: Episode 18 - Blenheim Palace, Portsmouth Dockyard, and Rousham Park

    In this episode of the Anglotopia podcast, I talk about three great experiences from my trip last July that I haven’t had the chance to talk about yet. After we give some big operational updates about Anglotopia, I talk about my visit to Blenheim Palace. There are a ton of new exhibitions and things to see at Britain’s only non-royal, non-ecclesiastical palace. Thinking of visiting HMS Victory in Portsmouth? Listen to this first, as it’s in a major state of restoration right now. And I finish with a visit to Rousham Park (pictured in the thumbnail), a small private stately home and gardens not normally open to the public. Bonus, we also have new music because we didn’t realize we were using the same music as another British-themed podcast (sorry!).

    Oxford, Dyrham Park, Steam Trains, and more!

    Oxford, Dyrham Park, Steam Trains, and more!

    In the next installment of podcasts about my trip to Britain this past July, I talk about my final days in Oxford and what I did after. I rented a car and visited Dyrham Park and the next day went on an incredible steam train journey. I give some insight into the special place I stayed in the Cotswolds. I also talk about the state of renting cars in Britain, which is a challenge post-COVID. 
    Producer's Note: This podcast was recorded in August, but we delayed the release due to the death of the Queen.

    In this special memorial podcast, we discuss the death of the Queen, how the week played out, the first days of the reign of Charles III, we explore why some Americans love the Royal Family so much, where we go from here, and what to expect in the coming days and months.

    Anglotopia Podcast: Return to Britain - How to get the Oxford Experience Yourself

    Anglotopia Podcast: Return to Britain - How to get the Oxford Experience Yourself

    In this second special podcast recorded while I was in England last month, I try to answer all the questions I received about my Oxford course. How can you have the Oxford Experience yourself? How much does it cost? What does it include? What is the accommodation and meal time like? What kind of classmates can you expect? What kind of tours and excursions are on offer? This is a great overall review of the entire Oxford Experience offered by Christ Church through the Oxford Department of Continuing Education.

    Catching Up On All Things British and British Travel in 2022

    Catching Up On All Things British and British Travel in 2022

    After a long, unexpected hiatus, the Anglotopia Podcast has returned! In this episode we watch up on what's going on with Anglotopia, we talk about our exciting new Union Jack Lightbox product and how it came about, then we talk about the resumption of 'normal' travel to Britain in 2022 - and talk about our own travel plans. Plus we lift the lid on the exciting new books we have planned to come out over the next few months. We hope to begin regularly recording new podcasts going forward.

    Please note: the camera turned off halfway through recording us on video, so we have decided to just publish this as audio-only (and may only do audio-only going forward as it makes it easier to record).
