Michelle de Swarte attempts to convince Shaun of the wonders of Alaska, a magnificent wilderness full of moose, wolves and bearded men in shackets. In a bold move, Shaun tries salmon for the first time in 35 years. What could possibly go wrong? Resident geographer, historian and comedian Iszi Lawrence advises on whale-watching and wolf behaviour management.

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.

Producers: Sarah Goodman and Beth O'Dea
