This graph shows the total number SFBRP episodes per month for the last two years. I noticed an upswing in the listener numbers recently, so I wanted to see what it looked like over time. Pretty good, I think! In April, random people across the world downloaded just under 25,000 individual episodes. That’s more downloads [...]

I’ve decided not to continue with the podcast part of my “Luke Around The World” project. It’s fun to do, but just takes too much work. Even though I’ve streamlined the podcast process over the last four years I’ve been recording and releasing podcasts, I can’t keep it up while pursuing all my other hobbies [...]

Due to arriving a day early when joining the Queen Victoria cruise ship, I spent two days in Cochin, India. It was my first time in India, and I really wanted to tick of two bucket-list type achievements: 1 – experience Indian traffic from the back of a tuctuc, 2 – ride an elephant.

This was my first visit to New Zealand. I only had a day there, and only in Auckland. One plan was to spend an extra week or two in the country, and fly back later, but I decided not to do so.

This was probably the only time I’ll visit Australia at this end of 2010, but I didn’t see much. I did, however, have a very pleasant day, and had a lot of fun taking photos.

I joined the Queen Mary 2 in Guam. However, as I was performing the same day I joined the ship, and I only reached my hotel at 3am that morning, and was 9 hours off my home time zone, I decided to spend the day resting rather than seeing the island. This podcast is more [...]

I wrote about this story on my blog a few weeks (or months) ago, but here’s the full story, including audio captured during the flight which made me think I was going to die. Not just me though — you can hear other people screaming too!
