But, Guillaume refers to future episodes that were never made, going silent in 2017. I’ve done lots of Googling, but can’t find any evidence of the presenter...”Read full review »

“I’m now listening to this series for the third time. I’ll checked back in wondering if I’d missed a new episode, but just start it all over again. Still enjoying it as much as I did the first time. Trying to work my brain into what the experience could be like heading off the map for these...”Read full review »

“While it is fair to state that records of early, ancient explorers are scarce, some of the breathless hypothesizing of their adventures adds far too much fluff and padding to the mix, and some factual errors start to creep into an otherwise interesting narrative.”
