"Safari" in Swahili means a journey, typically a long one. In Dark Star Safari, Theroux's itinerary is African, from Cairo to Cape Town—down the Nile, through Sudan and Ethiopia, to Kenya, Uganda and beyond to South Africa. Journeying by train, boat and cattle truck, he passes through some of the most beautiful—and often life-threatening—landscapes on earth.

Ever since he can remember, Dom Joly has been fascinated by travel to odd places. In part this stems from a childhood spent in war-torn Lebanon, where instead of swapping marbles in the schoolyard, he had a shrapnel collection - the schoolboy currency of Beirut. Dom's upbringing was interspersed with terrifying days and nights spent hunkered in the family basement under Syrian rocket attack or coming across a pile of severed heads from a sectarian execution in the pine forests near his home. 

There’s the glossy postcard version, and then there’s the unfiltered reality. These are the real, gritty, and often hidden stories behind the places we think we know. Host Leah Johnson is joined by insiders with rare perspectives, from Secret Service agents to New York Times bestselling authors, to pull back the curtain on the events that defined a place. From overlooked history to true crime to the occasional brush with the unexplained, these are the threads that linger in the shadows.Hit follow or subscribe and you will never miss an episode!

There is something special about the night. For many, just the idea of it conjures thoughts of starlit skies, romance, refuge, of being tucked up in bed. For some, the night means fear, vulnerability, danger, sleeplessness. For others still, nightfall signals the start of work. At night things go bump, monsters hide under beds, owls take wing and foxes prowl. Overnight is a celebration of all things nocturnal, of those who labour while the rest of us sleep: the bakers, health workers, sailors, couriers, broadcasters, drivers, fishers, the men and women of the emergency services and more.

A couple of friends got together, and let’s just say — things got weird. Each week, Nikki and Michelle bring you heavily researched locations with a dark past and a *sprinkle* of humor mixed in for fun.

There is the Cornwall Lamorna Ash knew as a child – the idyllic, folklore-rich place where she spent her summer holidays. Then there is the Cornwall she discovers when, feeling increasingly dislocated in London, she moves to Newlyn, a fishing town near Land’s End. This Cornwall is messier and harder; it doesn’t seem like a place that would welcome strangers. Before long, however, Lamorna finds herself on a week-long trawler trip with a crew of local fishermen, afforded a rare glimpse into their world, their warmth and their humour.

Las Vegas is a city of contrasts—bright lights and deep shadows. In Dark Detours, Valerie dives into the hidden side of Sin City, uncovering unsolved mysteries, forgotten crimes, and the lives shaped by its dark edges. But this isn’t just about the city; it’s about coming to terms with what it gives, what it takes, and how it shapes those who call it home—including Valerie herself. Through evocative storytelling and personal reflections, explore how Las Vegas’s bright lights mask its deepest secrets.
