What's Strange Old World about?
Strange Old World is a travel podcast that celebrates the weird and wonderful in the world’s most historic cities — from Athens to Zhengzhou.
Every fortnight, a local travel expert reveals the unusual sights, offbeat activities, bizarre traditions and downright-odd delicacies that make their hometown tick.
It’s funny, affectionate, informative and, occasionally, a bit rude. Like all the best things in life. (And yes, it's free too).
In each episode, we ask our city experts to pick:
One strange thing to seeOne strange thing to doOne strange festival, event or traditionOne strange thing to eat or drinkOne strange local legend or slice of historyOne strange thing visitors do (that baffles locals)And one strange day trip
We'll also get some straight-up recommendations, advice on when to visit the city, and the guest's favourite oddity elsewhere in the Old World.
