- Great find
So glad I found this podcast. Stories are interesting and not a rehash of famous adventures and misadventures. Even if the story is a well known one, it’s told from a different or unusual perspective. Scholarship is solid and the guests are great!

I agree with the previous reviewer, these podcasts are absolutely fascinating. Some of them are quite moving (thinking of the description of the dismasting but then completion of the circumnavigation of Antarctica). I do hope these podcasts are able to continue, and do bear in mind that they are so interesting, they could be a little longer.

Hi Hugh, I’ve enjoyed all the episodes and appreciated being asked to talk about my ocean rowing days early in Season 1. It was a real pleasure!
Looking forward to Season 2.

Shackleton has been my hero since I first started reading about him 35 years ago. Your interview with the Shackleton historian was incredible.
The comment about Arthur Beale rope on the Endurance being in good condition made me laugh out loud - but not in a bad way.
Keep up the good work with the podcast (and making that high quality rope).
