James Willcox is the co-founder of Untamed Borders which creates bespoke tours in places such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan, among other unconventional destinations. During this episode, James tells us the story behind Untamed Borders and how it has helped documentary film makers - most recently Michael Palin - access and explore these seemingly cut-off corners of the globe. But you don't have to be in the media to go on one of their trips and James tells us what’s on offer to travellers. Laura also asks James about the issue of safety when arranging tours in places we typically only hear about when there's war and other dangers.
