More Than Words

Society EN ↓ 54 episoder

Exploring Britain’s furthest flung places — and the limits of one man’s knees.“More Than Words” chronicles a virtual expedition across Britain’s extremes — from the northernmost village to the southernmost settlement, with stops at the highest peak, the lowest fen, and several places that sound made up. It’s part fitness challenge, part cultural exploration, and mostly an excuse to write about obscure trivia, failed resolutions, and the joys of conditional formatting. Expect puns, ghosts, and reflections on the slow collapse of my joints.

OK, it’s time for the thing absolutely nobody asked for - Episode 2 of my "More Than Words" virtual travelogue. There'll be history, myth, and place names that make 12-year-olds giggle. You can also expect: Norse parliaments Oil-fuelled boomtowns Fire festivals, A Viking-themed Shetland spinoff Rabbits guarding WWII gun batteries

Episode 1 - Northern Exposure 05.10.2025 14:17

Welcome to Episode 1 of More Than Words! Expect: Towns that sound like IKEA shelving units, The Shetland Space Centre, Ghostly architects, Viking boats, and Britain’s most overachieving bus stop
