Have your passports ready! This week's travel quiz tests Alun's knowledge of all things passports. Which countries have the strongest passports and which countries have the weakest passports? And when was the first ever passport issued? We go through some of the 2025 passport rankings and share some weird passport facts you didn't know!

If there's one thing Alun's hates about travel, it's ubiquitous, unimaginative travel quotes. Alun reels off his least favourite travel quotes but has snuck in one he's written himself. Will Adam be able to guess which quote Alun wrote?

In Tales of a Trip, we hear from a listener who visited Mansheya Nasir aka 'Garbage City', on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt. Wonderfully descriptive and intriguing, his story touches on spirituality, religion and energy; an experience he describes as "magical".
