We're back after a couple of weeks off. 

It was great to sit down with Benedict Allen, one of Britain’s most famous living explorers. 

Our hour-long chat offered a very personal account of his life and experiences in some of the world’s most remote places.

Benedict opens up about the tragedy and sacrifice of exploration, his controversial rescue mission in Papua New Guinea, as well as much much more.

Have a listen and make sure to keep an eye out for Benedict’s new book ‘Explorer’ which comes out next year. 

Interested in understanding the history around the Middle East? Our latest episode dives into the life of TE Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia), looking into the fascination around the man, but also using his story as a vehicle to untangle the complex modern history of the Middle East. Join us and author Neil Faulkner to find out about Lawrence, the Palestine - Israel conflict, as well as much more.

Following the success of Julian’s 2021 best selling book - Madhouse at the End of the Earth, we bring our latest episode on Frederick Cook.

Tom Crean spent more time in the Antarctic than Scott and Shackleton combined. Despite this he is little known outside of polar history. To discuss the great man, we are joined by award winning author Michael Smith. Our hour-long chat dives into both the ill-fated Scott expedition, the heroic survival story that is the Endurance, as well much more.
