Silver Travel on the radio

Travel Talk

Silver Travel Radio For a number of years, The Silver Travel Show was a fixture on The Wireless from Age UK, now sadly off-air. Presented by Jennie Carr from Silver Travel Advisor featuring destinations experts who shared their real experiences from around the world as well as some well-known names from the world of entertainment and travel writing.

Happily, the Silver Travel podcast has been created for Boom Radio, where Jennie is once again broadcasting on a station with two of her favourite DJs, David Hamilton and Graham Dene. Their holiday tales below are hilarious.
