White Wine Question Time

Ben Fogle on chasing adventure, overcoming loss, and embracing the unknown


Listen Later

Joining us today is a broadcaster, adventurer, and writer who has spent over two decades exploring the world’s most remote and extreme environments. From the Amazon to Antarctica, he’s built a career defined by resilience, risk-taking, and a deep love for the great outdoors — it’s the brilliant Ben Fogle!


In this episode, Ben reflects on his unconventional path—from swapping a job at Tatler Magazine for a year on the BBC’s Castaway, where he became one of Britain’s first reality TV stars, before carving out an award-winning career. Here he shares the pivotal moments that shaped him, the lessons he’s learned from those who’ve chosen to live off-grid, and the decision that changed everything: saying no to Blind Date!


Ben also opens up about the challenges he never saw coming, including climbing Everest after a profound personal loss and how he balances a life of extreme adventure with the simple joys of home and family.


You can get tickets to his UK tour, Ben Fogle Goes Wild Again, here, which begins this March.
