Personal memories, history and a changing world. travels, current affairs, social and political change as well as the environmental challenge. And! .... my travels and the wonderful people I have met. A reflection on the world around us. Exploring the people, places and events that have shaped our world — past and present.

Welcome to a space where the past meets the present, and where I try to use my experience and travel to bring history to life.  These podcasts are my way of sharing stories, thoughts, some serious and some I hope you will find humorous. I invite you to join me in these conversations across time and place; past and present. 

I'm a lifelong observer of the human story. From growing up in the 1950s to witnessing the rapid transformations of the 21st century in ways we never would have imagined.  Hopefully you will find my commentary thoughtful and interesting.

Travel has been a big part of my life too. I’ve written about the places I’ve been and the people I’ve met along the way. I love exploring how culture, history, and everyday life all mix together. You'll hear those stories here too – sometimes reflective, sometimes funny, always honest.

I draw on my passion for both ancient and modern history – exploring how the echoes of the past inform our present and I delve into current affairs from time to time. 

Enjoy!
