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

Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'

As we end the year (and another brilliant series) here's a few of my favourite moments from the show in 2025. 

Featuring... Mariah Carey, Jason Bateman, Stephen Fry and Dita Von Tease.

Thanks for listening and see you in January 2026 for a new series. 

Thanks and lots of love - Alan xxx
