  • Hitchhiking Africa & Close Calls with Hippos, with Jamie Good
    29 Oct 2026

    In this episode I am joined by Jamie Good, an American author who has spent the last year and a half slowly hitchhiking across Africa. She has immersed herself in local life, taking part in ancient ceremonies and having the craziest wildlife encounters with hippos and elephants.Some experiences haven't gone as planned - such as building a boat and attempting to sail the Gambian river, catching malaria twice, and being robbed at knifepoint in Botswana. Jamie shares her honest experiences and gives great advice for aspiring authors, so you can do it too (minus the malaria & robberies)

  • Mike Okay: New Projects, Algorithms & Avoiding Prison
    21 Oct 2026

    In this episode I am joined by Mike Okay, an English Youtuber turned documentary maker who gained popularity for hitchhiking across China, shutting down North Korea after covid, and the human connection in his content.

    We have heard his stories, but this is the first time Mike sits down to share his honest thoughts and advice on being a travel creator and how you can grow in an increasingly saturated space.

    We discuss our shared paths in Nagaland and teaching English in Asia, run-ins with the Taliban, his trip to America and new business ventures.
