Crocs, polo mints and noise-cancelling headphones: Russell Kane launches new series of travel podcast

Pack Your Bags from returns for another trip

Thanks to support from Tui.

Series two of Pack Your Bags, the celebrity-centred travel podcast hosted by comedian Russell Kane, launches today with a host of big-name guests on their way to the airport.

Each episode sees Russell and a celebrity guest from the world of entertainment, sport, food and more, share stories of their most memorable travel moments. This includes their absolute must-pack items and the stories behind them - what happens when you don't take the thing you never travel without?

It ultimately leads to a surprisingly emotional and heartwarming podcast. Rather than the inane celebrity soundbites of a format-free interview show, speaking about travel gives means each conversation covers deeper ground than you might expect. Ellie Simmonds speaks about travelling with a disability, while Oti Mabuse talks of her South African upbringing and family dynamics.

Other guests in the series include comedian and self-proclaimed "travel expert" Rob Beckett and celebrity chef Marcus Wareing, providing a stellar variety of guests.

Pack Your Bags is out now with new episodes every Tuesday.
