In the highlands of Honduras, a few hundred Lenca people cling tenaciously to their culture, their customs, and each other. On a road trip through Mesoamerica, we find markets and countyside villages. (This Audio Journey is also available in our MesoAmerica Series.)

This incredible monument that became the symbol of a city, Paris, and of a country, France, has a fascinating history. The Eiffel Tower is an iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It was named after the engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. Erected in 1889 as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair, it was initially criticized by some of France's leading artists and intellectuals for its design, but has become both a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognisable structures in the world.

Stroll down the Champs Elysees, climb up the Eiffel Tower, or just enjoy a cup of coffee from the top of Montmartre. With CitySpeaker, discover Paris in total freedom. The Paris CitySpeaker Audio Guide features visits of all the major monuments and sites, walks in the most beautiful neighborhoods, and interviews on the history, the culture of Paris, and the everyday life of the Parisians.

On a busy canal lined street in Amsterdam, Anne Frank and her Jewish family hid from the Nazis near the end of WWII. Anne Frank wrote accounts of their lives in this confinement. Learning from the one radio they shared and quietly listened to, Anne hoped her diary would be published. It was published posthumously, by her father; Anne's only relative to survive the Nazi death camps.

Why does anime make sense in an animist culture? How might Oscar Wilde reveal a culture too often associated with conformity? How can Japanese friends in a typical neighbourhood turn every stereotype on its head? His provocations may infuriate you - may even infuriate himself - Iyer confesses in his opening salvo, but maybe it’s only by setting its love hotels next to its baseball stadia, its wild fashions against its eighth-century values, that Japan can be made new again for both the first-time visitor and the jaded foreign resident.

Audio Journeys explores the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, including the ancient city of Petra. Over 2,600 years old, Petra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Petra is the legacy of the Nabateaeans, an industrious Arab people who settled in south Jordan more than 2,600 years ago, dominating the trade routes of ancient Arabia. With our guide, Mohammad Mofal, we walk through the outer Siq, a steep sided gorge. Its early in the morning, we are on our way to the Treasury.

The King's Road is world famous as the epicentre of Swinging London. Walk down the short stretch of road that changed the world of fashion, music, art and theatre forever.

Audio Journeys by Travel Radio International explores one of the wildest towns in the West. At the end of a box canyon, near precious metal deposits, Deadwood lured such famous Old West characters as Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane. Deadwood might have been torn down and forgotten, except that it also holds the distinction of being the town where an angry assailant killed Wild Bill Hickok while he was on his honeymoon.

Audio Journeys explores the Maya Music Museum in La Antigua, Guatemala, with the museum founder and director. (This Audio Journey is also available in our MesoAmerica Series.)

We arrive in San Jose, from a small boat across Lake Petén Itzá. There are few roads into the region. This quiet lakeside hill town has a Mayan and Spanish Language School.

While the features in these objects may be beautiful, it is the stories behind them that is the focus in the green tour, Amazing stories. Where did they come from? What do they mean? How did they end up here? These are just some of the questions that will be answered along the journey.

As international master of wine Rob Geddes explains, every bottle of wine is a book that tells three stories: where it came from, who made it, and what it's made of. But - and here's the rub - each of the stories comes in coded form, and you would be wise to seek an experienced guide who can help teach you to read them. In this audio course, Rob gives you a key to decipher one - and perhaps the most influential - of the codes, the one that tells you what the wine is made of.
