Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

1919 Cairo: A City of Revolt, Relics & Ruthless Treasure Hunters with Sean McLachlan
Q: How do you manage to intertwine your story with those events without it actually being directly about those events?
I use multiple character perspectives that address the political changes and personal struggles during this tumultuous period in Egypt.
1919 Cairo: A City of Revolt, Relics & Ruthless Treasure Hunters with Sean McLachlan
Q: What makes 1919 or Cairo in that era stand out as a good setting for an adventure story?
Cairo in 1919 is rich with revolutionary spirit, as Egypt is navigating its fight for independence while also being a hotbed for archaeological discoveries and treasure hunting.
The Galapagos Postman and His Global Adventure with Jon Beardmore
Q: Did you have any epiphanies or realizations or make any progress on your thinking of that problem whilst you were on the road?
Jon notes that he confirmed his suspicion that people are less personally connected despite being digitally connected.
The Galapagos Postman and His Global Adventure with Jon Beardmore
Q: Where did you come up with this idea?
Jon explains that he was inspired during a holiday in the Galapagos Islands when he learned about the tradition of leaving letters in a whisky barrel.
Unlocking the Secrets of the Valhalla Key: A Journey Through Myth and History
Q: If you could go on one real-world adventure related specifically to this book, what would it be?
Initially, I'd say going to the Arctic, but I recently achieved that. Now, I would love to experience the World's Fair first-hand to see the technological marvels.
