Summary

 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 CARRCopyright Keep It Light Media Social Sciences Travel Writing & Commentary

This podcast is so entertaining and I love it as Alan is his best self aka chattyman! I started listening recently so there's a large back catalogue :-) So far the best guest has been Tom Allen, lol hilarious.

Alan is comfortable having a chat and asks the questions you want to know the answer to!

Reminded me how much I miss Alan and Mel from the radio.

Treat yourself to a truly uplifting experience. And who doesn't need some holiday escapism...and holiday ideas 🤣

Alan LOL chattyman ❤️

How I missed this during that horrible time.
This is just a joy to the ears, constant laughs.
Have to be careful while driving as I end up laughing so much, I terrify any passengers.

I was late to this joy!
