In this episode Carlo meets Tim Strange in his beautiful beach hut on England's south coast. Tim is an artist, photographer, educator and, notably, one of less than 1800 people to have swum the English Channel. Tim talks with great clarity about how he came to take on the challenge of the Channel swim - a feat that has been completed by less than half the number of people than have climbed Mount Everest. Tim also talks about studying fine art at Goldsmiths in the shadow of the YBA's, his art practice and how he makes his stunning photography, and his love of teaching.
