Series One

Episode Two

Colin Thubron

In his 80th year, one of the most important travel writers of our time journeys along the Amur River — 1,100 miles, much of it on the China-Russia border. Sophy and Colin talk about their obsession with remote Siberia, and how to avoid (or avert) the gaze of the FSB.

Episode Five

Levison Wood

The ex-paratrooper, author and TV personality talks candidly about how he covers so much ground,  both physically and creatively, as he launches his eleventh book — about the fall of Kabul. He unpicks adventure for adventure’s sake, and the allure of the remote.
