Hello, my name is Matthew and I'm the founder of saltcaravan.com.

If you love having the best food experiences on the road while travelling, then this project may be of interest to you.

We are currently putting together a group of eight foodies to go explore the hidden corners of Japan.

Many of these experiences are just not available to the general public.

So if you're interested, go to saltcaravan.com, sign up to our email list

and we'll be announcing our debut trip at the end of August 2025 exclusively to our email

subscribers.

Aifa, then go back to the very start. Listen to this podcast from the start. Listen to it like a gigantic

novel that I've been writing every single week since October 2017.

That's what a lot of ye actually do that and I know that a lot of you do it because

we're almost at a hundred million listens.

We're nearly at a hundred million.

One hundred fucking million. Well it's 90 something, it's a hundred million. 100 fucking million.

Well, it's 90 something, it's 90 something million.

I don't like looking at exact figures.

I like to glance at them and then run away just to get a ballpark and then never think about it.

I don't like thinking about figures.

It's a very, it's an unhelpful way to create anything.
