The Quiet Coach: Healthy Snacks, 90s R&B and Mosquitos with Dr. Amir Khan

Dr. Amir Khan takes Jenni through his essential travel toolkit in this Quiet Coach episode of Routes from LNER, covering the snacks, tracks and hacks that get him through life on the road. On the food front, Amir shares his love of air-fried chickpeas and reveals his mum's habit of packing enough home-cooked kebabs and samosas to feed the whole train carriage. Musically, he's an unashamed devotee of 90s R&B, and tells the story of once storming the stage at a TLC concert, determined to be serenaded by Chilli, only to be rugby-tackled by security along the way. There's also a genuinely useful tip for anyone who gets eaten alive by mosquitoes on holiday, plus a confession about the time he nearly missed a flight in South Africa after squeezing in an airport massage.
