Episode description

How do you 'review' countries? What part do natural disasters and acts of terrorism play? What makes a good travel writer? This week I sit down with James Smart, Managing Destination Editor at Lonely Planet, to talk about balancing writer safety with good coverage, what puts a region on the map (and takes it off again), how lobbying can help, and how to decide what to feature - and what to ignore.
