Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'
Life’s A Beach sees Alan giving Judith Chalmers and Michael Palin a run for their money as he invites a famous guest each week to discuss their favourite places in the world. Bursting with anecdotes, laidback chat and laugh out loud travel tales - if this podcast was a suitcase you’d have to sit on it. “My Life’s A Beach podcast is the escapism we ALL need right now. I sat down and chatted with some of my famous friends about everything travel. From caravanning in Rhyl to private jetting to the Maldives, my guests spill the beans on their holiday horrors and dream destinations. Let’s face it: we might not have the sun on our faces, but after a listen to this you’ll definitely have a smile” – ALAN CARR

Sam Campbell joins Captain Alan for one of the most unhinged episodes yet; featuring Last One Laughing doppelgängers, castle turrets, extreme heat, accidental art auctions, Hollywood near-misses, and a volcanic egg that changes everything. The inflight chat veers from Yoko Ono to Pompeii and a suspiciously life-changing souvenir from Naples. It’s hot. It’s chaotic. It’s deeply wrong in places. And it’s absol...
