May 01, 2025 Shitty Breaks with Ben Aitken
This week we talked to travel writer Ben Aitken about his new book, Shitty Breaks: A Celebration of Unsung Cities. Over the course of a year, Ben opted to “travel in the wrong direction", visiting twelve of the least visited cities in the UK and Ireland. With an open mind and a rather unusual bucket list, Ben encountered alpacas in Bradford, tested ski slopes in Sunderland and drank in the only Wetherspoons without a name. In today's episode he demonstrates that, with the right approach, anywhere can make for a great holiday. After all, it's people who make a place.

On today's episode we're talking whisky distilleries doing their bit for the environment, the art of patience in puffin watching and beaches that could fool you into thinking you were in the Caribbean (at least until you get in the water).
