This week's story is about my time on Mount Everest in 2003 when I was the broadcaster and journalist for the Discovery Team’s efforts to stand on top of the world. I hated it every minute of the two months I was at Base Camp. There were many reasons why - but the main one was the fact that I could hardly breathe. It had nothing to do with the altitude, but rather an untreated lung infection on the walk in that triggered asthma that I hadn’t had for many years. Podcast page of the Storycatcher website
