Summary

Rob Delaney opens with a spirited attempt to get Shaun to visit his birthplace in Eastern Massachusetts, USA, selling it on the basis that as New England is quite like England anyway, it’ll be no bother for Shaun… Your Place Or Mine is the travel podcast that isn’t going anywhere. Join Shaun as his guests try to convince him that it’s worth getting up off the sofa and seeing the world, giving us a personal guide to their favourite place on the planet. With resident geographer, historian and comedian Iszi Lawrence on hand to share facts, each week a familiar face will try to persuade Shaun that jetting off to their favourite destination is worth the hassle. Your Place or Mine is a BBC Audio production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds. Producers: Becca Bryers & Hannah Hufford
