Simon Calder is one of the hardest-working journalists in the country, regularly popping up on TV news channels from an airport or train station during any travel related story.
As well as being hugely informed when it comes to a potential cheap deal or ideal getaway, he’s also trustworthy, as he refuses freebies and discounts from travel providers so he can say what he wants. After a more than three decade stint at The Independent, he’s now moved over to the Telegraph. With that, there’s a new weekly podcast with Greg Dickinson, which starts with a look at the headaches caused by the EU’s new biometric border rules.
