Hugh has a gift for drawing out the human side of exploration - the moments of doubt, triumph and humour that do not make it into the official logs.
Very insightful and fascinating podcast, looking forward to learning more about adventurers and explores old and new!
I’m a big listener of The Rest is History and History Hit, so I’m usually pretty picky about what I add to my roster. This first episode about Mallory’s Everest climb really hooked me. It’s well-produced and covers the adventure side of history in a way I haven’t really seen other shows do yet. It’s an interesting niche and I’m definitely sticking with it. Worth a listen if you're into exploration stories!
