Planning around Phantom Peak

Ash and Ari have left their cosy home and have discovered Phantom Peak during their Burning Blimp festival. Ash believes that it's a hidden gem for planning at, while Ari thinks it's a fun day out that she will mark in her planner afterwards. Either way, they discuss why they recommend the place and their different ways to log going to a fictional town that is interactive. The pair will be doing another episode after Hallowed Peak to check in with how they have been recording their time at Phantom Peak in their planners. If you also attend, then let us know via Instagram or comment below. Click here to find out more about Phantom Peak This episode is not sponsored. Jonas, please don't take down our podcast with the power of your 12-pack and milk-like eyes.

Series One Finale Part 1: Wedding planners, 2025 planners and Epcot?

The UK Planner Podcast is hitting your feed with a double feature!! It's the last episode of Series One, and Holly has been invited into the co-hosting chair to chat about how her 2025 planner is going. Plus, the day this episode is being released is Holly's wedding day! So, it's fitting that she spoke about how she plans to capture her wedding and tells us about her journey with wedding planners (this is a planner podcast, so obviously, we're not talking the person kind). They get sidetracked and find themselves chatting about Epcot, and Ash introduces Holly to PlanYourTruth's YouTube videos. Check out Holly's event SWPC Holly's shop, Cressida Rose Planners

Episode Sixteen - YouTube, PR and Event Planning Bethplansxo’s version

You might know our guest this week from her Instagram and YouTube channel; on the PR teams of many shops over the years (currently for Plannerface and Josephine Bow), one-third of the team that ran the planner event PlanPlanPlan in 2019 or perhaps soon for being one-half of a team behind something else... Ash revealed they like to call Beth the Taylor Swift of the planner community due to her versatility with the different planners she has had over the years, plus her willingness to spread herself across the planner community in as many ways as possible. You may have even seen her behind Josephine Bow's stall at some events. Most importantly, she uses all the above to connect with people; she told us many stories of making planner friends on and off the microphone. It's hard not to notice how much insight she has of the planning community, both past and present. Whether she is taking you on the highs and lows of her week while planning on YouTube, cheering you on in the comments or making a 5-minute catch-up feel like a 2-hour coffee with a friend. Like Taylor, she isn't afraid to collaborate, and we can't wait to hear more about her next era. Follow Beth on Instagram Find her on YouTube
