When civil war broke out in Spain in 1936, Orwell, like many other European socialists, was quick to join the fight against fascism.

In the summer of 2016, a newly retired law school professor bought a 1999 Ford Coachman camper van and drove into America’s heartland.

He also hoped to ruminate on the meaning and trajectory of his own life’s journey.

This podcast is a slow, place-based companion for travelling in Bulgaria, made by someone who stays in one area long enough to learn it. Bulgaria's character comes from its terrain: most of the country is mountains, with lowlands to the north and southeast, and a climate of cold, damp winters and hot, dry summers. He moves between Sofia, the Balkan Mountains, the Danubian plain and the Rhodope villages, following the roads and railway lines that link them. Episodes also turn to the Turkish-speaking towns of the northeast, the Orthodox churches of Veliko Tarnovo, and the Muslim communities of ...

Down and Out in Paris and London is the first full-length work by the English author George Orwell, published in 1933. It is a memoir in two parts on the theme of poverty in the two cities.

The first part is an account of living in near-destitution in Paris and the experience of casual labour in restaurant kitchens.

Forget the perfect shot. Hey Georgie – Away From The Camera is about everything that happens when you're not looking through the lens. It’s about the messy, beautiful, and very real moments that make us who we are. My name is Pete George, but you can call me Georgie. I know what it’s like to get knocked down—I walked away from photography entirely while battling my own mental health struggles. Three things brought me back: my wife Jane, my camera, and the island of Bali. They reminded me of my purpose and the real power of a single image. This podcast is my way of sharing what I’ve ...

Down and out in Paris and London is the first full-length work by the English author George Orwell, published in 1933. It is a memoir in two parts on the theme of poverty in the two cities. The first part is an account of living in near-destitution in Paris and the experience of casual labour in restaurant kitchens. The second part is a travelogue of life on the road in and around London from the tramp's perspective, with descriptions of the types of hostel accommodation available and some of the characters to be found living on the margins.

From the impoverished districts of Paris to the streets of London, Orwell recounts his experiences on the bottom rung in some of Paris’ most famous kitchens, his time on the streets of London with a colourful cast of characters and offers biting social commentary on everything from accommodation and privilege to diet and language.

Two Brits, George and Mark, set off from New York City to explore the back roads of America. In this calamity-ridden travel tale, George sets out in true clichéd fashion to discover the real America. Throw in plenty of run-ins with the police, rapidly dwindling finances, and Josephine - the worst car in the world - and you have all the ingredients for a classic American road trip. Will George and Mark make it all the way to California? And then there is Rachel, George's girlfriend, left back in England.

Set in the remote arctic region of Northern Canada, this book takes listeners on a harrowing canoe voyage that results in tragedy, redemption, and, ultimately, transformation. George Grinnell was one of six young men who set off on the 1955 expedition led by experienced wilderness canoeist Art Moffatt. Poorly planned and executed, the journey seemed doomed from the start. Ignoring the approaching winter, the men became entranced with the peace and beauty of the arctic in autumn.
