Tirana - Albania

I'm joined by travel writer Leon McAnally to discuss the phenomenon of Dark Tourism.  We talk about the history of dark tourism, why places where terrible things have happened appeal to people and the controversy of marketing these locations as travel destinations.

Leon is the author of A Guide to Dark Attractions in the UK. It is currently available for pre-order and will be released in October. More information can be found here:

Dark Tourism with Leon McAnally

If there were seven man made sites that could define the world as it is today and continue to ring through the ages, what would they be?

Who better to answer this question than three middle class white English men with no formal expertise in history, anthropology or architecture. I'm sure this won't take us too long...

The rules are as follows:

1) The place must have been constructed after 1750
2) It's got to be a place (The internet is not a place, go outside)
3) It has to be on Earth

Right, off we go...
