This episode is bought to you with the help of Lat56. Lat56 are a sharp, smart and efficient baggage company that help you take off relaxed, and arrive ready to take on the world. In 2011 I completed 122 flights, and without their NASA-spec materials making such a solid travel system, the hours spent with my luggage being thrown from one plane to another would have caused me a big headache.
With their bold and strong aesthetics, they make no compromises to achieve the balance between performance and style. With a lifetime guarantee, you'll be safe in the knowledge that their products will stand the test of time. When I bought my first travel bag from them, they only sold their flagship garment bag; an ingenious suit carrier that's stylish, compact and crucially for me going from gig to gig, didn't crease the suits. Since then, they have branched out to carry-on luggage, backpacks, duffel bags, laptop bags and even washbags!
I'd only mention the company if I used and approved of them, and I do both. And you know what, the thing I love about them the most, is that after seven years of wear and tear, my first bag still looks as new as the backpack I bought six months ago. So if you're a busy traveller and want something that is stylish and secure, click here to grab yourself something special.

Robert Emery talks to Sarah Miles for part two of their podcast episode. The English theatre and film actress who was nominated for four BAFTA's, two Golden Globes and an Oscar. Sarah talks about her biological connection with the British Royal family, finishing RADA and going straight into the West-End where Sir John Gielgud famously said "Did you know you have a bottom just like a boy? Two poached eggs in a handkerchief."
