In this week’s inspiring episode ofTalking in the Dark, Evie sits down with Miles Hilton-Barber to explore his remarkable life as a blind adventurer.

Miles shares stories from his childhood growing up in Rhodesia, before opening up about the profound changes he faced as a young man when he lost his sight due to Retinitis Pigmentosa. He speaks candidly about the emotional and physical challenges of living with vision impairment, as well as the adaptations he was forced to make along the way.

The conversation also highlights the powerful support of his family during this time—especially the influence of his brother, who became a key source of inspiration as Miles navigated this difficult chapter of his life.

Evie and Miles go on to discuss his incredible adventures, reflecting on the many daring and deeply rewarding expeditions he has undertaken around the world.

This is a beautifully enriching conversation with a guest who shares his extraordinary journey with honesty, depth, and wisdom.
