Culture, Montreal, upgrades, asparagus and Canberra

First up, we're delving into a bit of culture on this week's travel radio show - our Geelong-based Aussie travel guru, John Crook has news of a forthcoming classical concert in Melbourne. From our US-sister program, Around the World, Arthur von Wiesenberger chats with blue whales expert Richard Sears about Montreal (Canada). Yours truly reveals survey results on how Aussies obtain (or, more to the point, most of the time fail to) those elusive ’upgrades’ on airline seats and hotel rooms. French-based contributor Frances Beasley’s topic this week is the humble asparagus. To close the book on this week’s show, John Crook visits the National Library in Canberra. Click this link to listen
