Professional dancer and TV presenter Janette Manrara was born and raised in The Sunshine State of Florida, specifically Miami. With the beach on its doorstep, the sounds of salsa music throughout the streets and the smell of Cuban coffee in the air, you would think Shaun wouldn’t need convincing to visit this little corner of heaven. But having had one particularly traumatic visit to Miami many years ago, Janette will have her work cut out for her.

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.

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 ´óÏó´«Ã½ Audio production for ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 4 and ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sounds.
