About the podcast
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

Show notes
This week on Life's a Beach, Alan is joined by the incomparable Caitlin Moran - writer, broadcaster and one of Britain's funniest storytellers - for an episode that goes gloriously off-piste. They somehow begin with Harry Styles' legs and Take That before diving into Caitlin's unforgettable childhood holidays, with summers migrating to a caravan in Wales with an apocalypse-prepping father.
Along the way they discuss Japan, Benedict Cumberbatch undercover at Glastonbury, why gardening saved Caitlin's mental health, the joy of rewilding, Elizabeth Taylor's extraordinary life, and why we should celebrate people while they're still here. There may not be much chat about beaches... but there is plenty about beavers.
Check out Caitlin's new pod: https://open.spotify.com/show/033CJY22Urz2BLJK792QRZ
And her new book "How to be Hopeful" is out in September.
