I answer 3 listener questions.

You can also watch it on YouTube.

1. What are my book recommendations?

I mention:

• Any book by Bill Bryson. I enjoyed his latest, The Body.


• Robert Zubrin, A Case for Space

2. How do you train for your mountain climbing?

3. Why did Eswatini change its name?

BTW, I will be doing more and more short episodes. 

Occasionally, I will have 1+ hour episode, but it seems people love episodes under 20 minutes.
