درباره این اپیزود
Join bestselling author Ben Aitken for Shitty Breaks: A Celebration of Unsung UK Cities, a wry and warm-hearted look at the places most travel guides skip.
Based on his latest book, Aitken takes us on a journey through some of Britain’s most maligned towns and cities, from Slough to Stoke, uncovering their overlooked charm, humour, and resilience.
Blending social commentary with sharp observational writing, Aitken challenges our assumptions about class, identity, and what makes a place worth visiting. This event is a joyous tribute to the unloved corners of the UK and the people who live there.
