Show Notes
Food critic Jay Rayner joins Jenni on this Quiet Coach episode of Routes from LNER to talk about the music that keeps him focused, the food that keeps him curious, and the places that first taught him to enjoy his own company.
From a formative solo backpacking trip in his teenage years to the family holidays that shaped his love of travel, it's a warm look back at the journeys that stuck with him. Jay also opens up about his routine for staying productive on the move: a particular soundtrack, a favourite spot on the train, and a few tricks for balancing focus with being recognised along the way.
Add in some firm opinions on station food and a genuine love of cooking for a crowd while on holiday, and it's a thoughtful, good humoured conversation about the small rituals that make travel, and life, a bit more enjoyable.
