BBC Radio 4 - Your Place or Mine with Shaun Keaveny, 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’t going anywhere - not until guests can convince Shaun Keaveny it’s 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’s metaphorical tour of its visitors’ much-loved locations. 

In this episode, comedian Daliso Chaponda pitches a trip to his favourite ‘beautiful, backward place’: 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’t afford to miss. 

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

Producers: Proinsias O’Coinn and Jen Whyntie

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
