  • Tikal: 1,500 years Of Political Drama

    Tikal: 1,500 years Of Political Drama
    Sep 22 2026
    Eternal love, political intrigue, and breathtaking monuments - Tikal has it all! In this episode, Lina takes us through 1,500 years of Tikal's history: from a small pre-classic village trading in obsidian and quartz, through a suspicious 4th-century regime change and a golden age, to a final collapse still not fully explained. Along the way explore iconic stories, such as The Lady of Tikal and the legend of Tikal's headless founder. We also dig into why Tikal is one of the rarest categories of World Heritage Site there is: a "mixed" site, meeting UNESCO criteria for both its cultural and natural significance.

  • St Kilda: Life on the Edge of the World

    St Kilda: Life on the Edge of the World
    Sep 8 2026
    What does it take to build a life on the edge of the world — and what does it take to walk away from it? St Kilda is a tiny, storm-battered archipelago 41 miles west of Scotland's Outer Hebrides, so remote that for most of its 5,000 to 4,000-year history its people were barely aware the rest of Europe existed. In this episode, Ralf opens Season 2 by taking Lina (and you) through the extraordinary way of life that isolation built — and the decision in 1930 that ended it.
