DON’T DO THIS ON A BOAT IF YOU’RE CLAUSTROPHOBIC! - Kevin’s Travel Stories 

Every place of beauty has its opposite side and, sometimes, unintentionally. There is little doubt that Halong Bay is one of the most beautiful spots on planet Earth. A UNESCO site that has brought visitors from around the globe. But Kevin Flanagan found that exploring under these huge natural rocks or karsts brought its own challenges, especially as he suffers from claustrophobia. In this podcast, he recounts the wonder and the terror of a visit to the caves of Halong Bay.

Saigon - Top Travel Destination Guide

Join Kevin Flanagan as he visits one the cities that haunted his youth and that of an entire generation - Saigon, Vietnam. 

The city that was taken over by American GI’s in the 1960’s and came to haunt the US and its allies as the Vietnam War went dramatically wrong. Saigon, featured in such anti-war masterpieces such as Apocalypse Now, The Deer Hunter, Platoon and Full Metal Jacket, is a city coming to peace with its past. 

Nowadays, it is vibrant, chaotic and endlessly fascinating - as Kevin found out. Join Kevin as he steps back into the past while visiting one of his favourite cities of all time.

The Zeppelin Field - Nuremberg - the place where Adolf Hitler was deified. 

Do you believe in ghosts? Or at least the ghostly effect history’s darkest moments can leave on the place where they took place? Kevin Flanagan does, and he takes you to one such destination - The Zeppelin Field where The Fuhrer was idolised by his followers in the years leading up to the conflagration that was WWII.

Kevin ultimately finds the ghost of this terrible past in the modern city of Nuremberg, as he gazes on the very same podium where Adolf Hitler spoke. It chilled him to the bone and perhaps, it will chill you too.
