Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'

by Keep It Light Media / Travesty Media

Life’s A Beach sees Alan giving Judith Chalmers and Michael Palin a run for their money as he invites a famous guest each week to discuss their favourite places in the world. Bursting with anecdotes, laidback chat and laugh out loud travel tales - if this podcast was a suitcase you’d have to sit on it. “My Life’s A Beach podcast is the escapism we ALL need right now. I sat down and chatted with some of my famous friends about everything travel. From caravanning in Rhyl to private jetting to the Maldives, my guests spill the beans on their holiday horrors and dream destinations. Let’s face it: we might not have the sun on our faces, but after a listen to this you’ll definitely have a smile” – ALAN CARR

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Such a funny, easy going podcast. Alan is a brilliant interviewer, always bringing out the best in people. One of my favourite podcasts that never fails to lift my spirit.

thanks4music · Mar 2025

Alan Carr is a genius interviewer - always working towards the humor but sensitive enough that he never steamrolls anyone’s story or feelings. Wonderful show.

angrylf · Nov 2024

You know a podcast is fantastic when it seems like only five minutes has passed and you’ve listened to five episodes. Wonderful and extremely entertaining.

Uno active · Mar 2024

I don’t normally review podcasts but this has had me cackling from start to finish no matter who gets interviewed. Alan is a hoot and I love how the guests just instantly get the "take the piss“ vibe and just get to it! Highly highly recommended! 🤌🏾🤌🏾

Holyr00d · May 2023

Alan Carr is funny and for a while he has really good guests but there something that’s incredibly odd about his fascination with celebrities. One of questions that I find odd and ridiculous is, “have you ever had a celebrity citing?” I never quite understood people’s fascination with the celebrity culture and perhaps the people who are overly fascinated are living vicariously through them because they are lacking substance in their own life. Overall, the podcast has potential and it was a clever idea but the whole celebrity thing is a turn off.
