## Resource

Rod Maxwell (#theLateLateLunchshow) interviews Ken Garrity about joining RadioAlty.co.uk during lockdown, his long career in travel, and his community role as Provost of Altrincham. They discuss how Ken learned radio on Zoom, developed his show, mentors younger presenters, and brings local stories to air. The conversation covers travel highlights, changing holidays like cruising, the resilience of the travel industry, and Ken’s love of people and community — plus his wish to visit Antarctica.
