Armchair Explorer

PATHWAYS: Mongol Rallies, Lost Cities, and the World’s Scariest Distillery


Listen Later

At the start of every month, host Aaron Millar and producer Jason Paton preview what’s coming up on Armchair Explorer, play their favorite clips, and reveal the stories they’re most excited to share.


A cross between a highlight reel, an interview, and two people telling travel tales down the pub, our Pathways episodes are your guide to choosing your adventures with us.


October episodes:


ADVENTURE: National Geographic photographer and mountaineer Cory Richards takes us on a journey to the top of the Himalayas in search of The Color of Everything.


DISCOVERY: We go on location to the ancient city of Alula to uncover the history hidden in the Earth


CONNECTION: We speak with Jenny Hunter from the Adventurists about the time she drove a $1,000 car from London to Mongolia and the importance of getting lost.


IMMERSION: We send an Aussie to a rodeo in South Dakota and chaos ensues.


INSIGHT: Halloween Special – Aaron goes to a seance in the London Tombs and strange things occur.


BUCKET LIST: Halloween Special – we take the world’s scariest whisky tour inside America’s most notorious prison.



If you enjoy the show, please subscribe on whatever podcast player you’re reading this on right now. Go on, do it. It means you get to choose what episodes you listen to, rather than the algorithm guess (wrongly) and kick us off your feed.


Following the show on socials will definitely maybe bring you good travel karma!
