  • The Bald Explorer Podcast - Episode 6

    Today  chat to Gary Baines from Shoreham Fort in West Sussex about the history of the important heritage site, his involvement there and the walk on 27th January 2019 that members of the Bald Explorer Group will be enjoying.

    Also, I feature some of the new DSLR equipment I use for filming. There's a new Book of the Week - The Man Who Planted Trees by Jean Giono -  and a report on the Senior Management Team behind the Bald Explorer. Who are they and what do they do?

  • BodyWorlds Podcast - The Mirror of Time Exhibition
    Some years ago I went to the Bodyworlds exhibition with my son, Stanley.
    Body Worlds is a traveling exposition of dissected human bodies, animals, and other anatomical structures of the body that have been preserved through the process of plastination. Gunther von Hagens developed the preservation process which "unite[s] subtle anatomy and modern polymer chemistry", in the late 1970s.

  • Exploring St Giles Church at Shermanbury in West Sussex
    Today I am shown around St Giles in Shermanbury by the very knowledgeable Richard Putnam. The Anglican church of St. Giles is well away from the modern roads, approached along a tree-lined bridleway leading to Shermanbury Place, east of the Brighton road. A small church is mentioned in the Domesday Book, but the present structure is of 14th-century origin. The roof is of Horsham stone slates with a weatherboarded belltower at the west end, containing two bells. My podcasts are funded 100% by people like you.
