Description
Steve boldly tries to take Shaun exploring barefoot in amazing jungle with anacondas, jaguars and hitherto undiscovered insects. Steve's had some of the greatest experiences of his life there and thinks nature is the best holiday from modern life. Will Shaun, a self-described beta male, join Steve in sleeping up a tree with harpy eagles? Resident geographer, historian and comedian Iszi Lawrence is the voice of reason, as Shaun finds himself strangely tempted. Your Place Or Mine is the travel series 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: Beth O'Dea and Sarah Goodman Your Place or Mine is a BBC Audio production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds.
