For years, British journalist Cash Peters trekked around Europe and America visiting some of the tackiest attractions in the world for his hugely popular public radio series, The Bad Taste Tours. But a guy can only take so much. Now, as Peters prepares to leave his travel-reporting days behind forever, he takes us along on some of the more ridiculous journeys and adventures of his career. Good-bye, Kansas Barbed Wire Museum; au revoir, Paris sewer system tour; auf wiedersehen, Sound of Music locations tour.
Join Peters on this outrageous behind-the-scenes look at the frustrations of a travel reporter on the road. Marvel at his ongoing battle with PR people and at his fights with men dressed in foam costumes, and gloat because you don’t have to visit the Museum of Bad Art, the Precious Moments Theme Park, or the Museum of Dirt—and he does.

"The museum of dirt, the museum of rocks, Graceland...need I say more? If you can stand the monotony of these tours, you will be delighted by Peters' wit and charm in this volume of truly bad taste tours. " — Lori (5 out of 5 stars)

“The ultimate travel guide for people who want to experience the very worst that the United States has to offer…[Peters’] jubilant and animated English-accented voice cannot help but pull listeners into his adventures.”
“You had me in stitches. Great job! Now I guess I'll have to buy one of your books.”
“I have decided that you really must marry me…It became reasonably clear that I must propose after the Bad Taste Tour you delivered from The Precious Moments Museum.”
" Really enjoyed the stories, but the narration (read by the author) is like listening to a kindergarten teacher (dare I say it: like the Audiobooks intro speaker). Peters over-emotes in the worst "Did you get my joke? Did you? But, DID YOU!?" way. The stories themselves are enormously entertaining. Perhaps a more experienced narrator would make this book sing. "

" This book was hilarious! He is a very sarcastic and fairly angry man, but the things he wrote about where hysterical. "
" Humourous, fast paced travelogue. As much as I like roadside attractions and random pit stops, there were sure a few places I'd rather avoid in this book though. Very fun. "
" If Mr Peter's is trying to achieve the balance between sardonic humour and compelling story telling achieved by Bill Bryson, I believe that he has erred far too heavily on the side of sardonicism. "
" So funny and too true. "
" This is a memoir/travel book by the former travel writer for NPR. I thoroughly enjoyed it. "
" This tour of some uncommon locations/museums around the US is laugh-out-loud funny. "
" Almost too much of the Cash Peters we've grown to love hearing on NPR. That really is his best venue. "
