Daliso Chaponda: Lilongwe, Malawi

Shaun Keaveny hears about the delights of Lilongwe, Malawi, from Daliso Chaponda.

Your Place Or Mine is the travel podcast that isn鈥檛 going anywhere - not until guests can convince Shaun Keaveny it鈥檚 worth getting off the sofa for. Each week a familiar face will try to persuade Shaun and resident geographer, historian and comedian Iszi Lawrence that jetting off to their favourite destination is worth the hassle.

Across the series listeners will be able to figuratively globe-trot to a new destination, as guests share a personal guide to their favourite place on the planet. Iszi will be on hand to check out the facts during the podcast鈥檚 metaphorical tour of its visitors鈥� much-loved locations.

In this episode, comedian Daliso Chaponda pitches a trip to his favourite 鈥榖eautiful, backward place鈥�: Lilongwe in Malawi. Safaris, stillness and starry skies beckon Shaun - but what about the Black Mambas?

With all the missed travel these past two years, Your Place Or Mine will explore whether getting back on a plane is too much for our wallets and limited carbon budgets, or if seeing the world and experiencing global cultures is something we can鈥檛 afford to miss.

Your Place or Mine is a 麻豆社 Audio production for 麻豆社 Radio 4 and 麻豆社 Sounds.

Producers: Proinsias O鈥機oinn and Jen Whyntie
