Welcome to very first episode of the ASK podcast, where we hope to help you 'Attain Secret Knowledge' with the assistance of our fantastically knowledgeable teachers from John Hampden Grammar School. This week, along with our three erudite sixth form panellists, Téo, Dan and James, the wonderful Mr Andy Sawdon joins for an enthralling discussion of the Anglo-Irish Antarctic explorer, Ernest Shackleton. 

Please follow us at @JHGSEnglish and @JHGSHistory to keep up to date with everything we're doing.
