In this podcast I am interviewing my Dad, Mick Alkan; physician, adventurer, career military doctor and a consummate study of history, art and culture. Mick’s experiences span the second world war, the birth of Israel, and decades of humanitarian work in many countries across Africa, Europe and Asia. In each episode we focus on a different time period, starting, in fact, with the life of Walter, my grandfather, and moving forwards and backwards along the course of my Dad’s childhood, education and career.
