About
"Tourism at the edge of good taste"
New Zealand journalist David Farrier travels to the world's strangest, darkest, and most dangerous tourist spots, from radioactive zones to voodoo ceremonies to war-torn regions marketed as sightseeing. Each episode hops to a new country and a new unsettling attraction, with Farrier's wry, slightly nervous narration guiding you through places most travel shows would never touch. It's part travelogue, part cultural inquiry, part deadpan comedy, moving briskly between the fascinating and the genuinely uncomfortable. The tone stays curious rather than exploitative, though it never fully answers whether this kind of tourism is ethical, which is sort of the point.
the sheer range of bizarre, unsettling destinations you never knew were tourist attractions.
you want deep cultural analysis rather than a breezy, episodic travel curiosity.
