Chris Evans, 54, was joined by comedian and talk show host Alan Carr, 44, on his Virgin Radio Breakfast Show yesterday, as the latter spoke of his new podcast Life’s A Beach. However, before the comedian arrived on-air, he spoke of his “worries” as he followed on from a “heavy conversation”.
Alan spoke candidly of how the process has helped him cope during the pandemic.
He explained: “With Chatty Man finishing in the pandemic, we’ve all sat down and I realised how much I just like chatting to people.
“I’m no Michael Parkinson but I just love chatting and finding out about people, so this podcast really helped me through the whole pandemic and I actually enjoy this.”
He went on to talk of how he feels there is a sense of freedom, as he becomes his “own boss”.
In promotion for the latest episode, Alan took to Instagram to hint what fans could expect.
He wrote to his 926,000 followers: “Here’s a little taster of my brand new podcast ‘Life’s A Beach!’
“It’s all about travel and holidays (remember them?) UK gems, favourite destinations, childhood holidays, top travel trips you name it this podcast covers it.
“My first guest is @romeshranga and as you can imagine he’s just brilliant. We talk everything from Sri Lanka, Mongolia, Cornwall to Centre Parcs. Hope you like it.(sic)”
