1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 You expect hostels to be cheap and nasty, but if you believe the reviews online the backpackers' in Perth are positively post-apocalyptic. Filthy sheets, bed bugs, &quot;a strange woman who messed herself,&quot; and a naked man sitting in his room with the door open using a hairdryer on his legs. Meet these characters and more when you discover Perth hostels are more like &quot;halfway houses&quot; or a &quot;home for the eternally damned&quot;. Some of the reviews are so damning we had to bleep the hostel name for fear of slander most vile. Cohosts this episode are seasoned backpacker Bec Trigger, and my brother Clinton Bell, a trained actor reduced to the state of a bum, who'll be doing some dramatic readings of the reviews. He also does all the music for the show, so if you like the sound of it check out his band https://www.facebook.com/nightsignalsband True Perth Tales http://trueperthtales.libsyn.com/webpage <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/3127768/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/3127768
