The podcast is named after Jean Passepartout, who was the French valet of Phileas Fogg, the main character in the Jules Verne novel ‘Around the World in Eighty Days’ and his surname translates literally to “goes everywhere”.
General Manager, O’Neill says “from that first iconic rail journey, through to the present day, we feel that we all have so many stories to tell. Whether that be about the places we’ve visited, the people we’ve met or how these experiences have shaped us, we have so much to offer. We want to unlock the doors to Jules Verne and transport the listener around the world. I see this as a podcast which is for the people, by the people. We’ll be inviting in special guests along the way to share their stories and we’re really looking forward to watching this new venture unfold”.
