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 Sales, advertising and media enquiries: hello@keepitlightmedia.com

    The Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach' podcast is an absolute gem in the world of entertainment. From the moment you press play, you are transported into a world of laughter, interesting conversations, and delightful stories. It is the perfect companion for household chores or long commutes, as it never fails to bring a smile to your face. I must admit, I am a bit of a sad bugger for listening while doing housework, but this podcast has turned even the most mundane tasks into enjoyable moments.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is Alan Carr himself. His infectious laughter and witty banter make every episode an absolute joy to listen to. His chemistry with his guests, particularly his hilarious interactions with Grimmy, adds another layer of entertainment that keeps you hooked from start to finish. Each episode feels like you're sitting down with friends and having a laugh-filled conversation.

    Another highlight of 'Life's a Beach' is the diverse range of guests that Alan invites onto the show. From celebrities to everyday people with fascinating stories, there's always something new and interesting to discover. Hearing about their experiences and adventures provides great inspiration and gives you fresh ideas for future travels.

    If I had to find any flaws in this podcast, it would be that sometimes the episodes can feel too short. You find yourself wanting more because each conversation is so engaging and enjoyable. However, this could also be seen as a positive aspect because it leaves you eagerly anticipating the next episode.

    In conclusion, The Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach' podcast is simply fantastic. It brings laughter and joy into your day while providing intriguing conversations with captivating guests. Whether you're in need of some cheering up or simply want an entertaining escape from daily life, this podcast delivers on all fronts. I cannot recommend it enough - five stars all the way!
