Today, we speak to the creator of Terrible Trips, someone who has a passion for travelling to places that other people would have absolutely no interest in. They've been to the coldest city on earth, the most toxic body of water known to man, and the most depressing city on earth, just to name a few. Discover what the experience is like and what can be learned when you venture way, way, way off the beaten track.

In this episode, I'm joined by Comedian Adam Flood and Dr David Bailey to discuss the social structure of class. We cover how to define class in 2020, why class is still relevant today and whether you can judge someone's class by cheese. In fact, we talk about cheese a lot.

Adam Flood is a brilliant guest comic, and you can find more hilarity from him on Instagram.
Dr David Bailey is an extremely insightful guest expert with a number of interesting publications on the way. You can learn more about that here.
