Episode 6 of More Than Words is here!

Featuring:

🪨 Castle Bloody — less massacre, more Neolithic IKEA

🗿 Giants chucking monoliths at each other

🌉Churchill’s Gap Years

🏰 A laird who demolished a village for a better view

⛪ A chapel built from corned beef tins and an exhaust pipe

⛳ Britain’s most northerly crazy golf course (bring an anorak)

🐎 Children ploughing sand and dressed as Clydesdales

It’s history, trivia, and travel chatter with a tailwind of sarcasm.

Episode 5 is here! ... “Things Can Only Get Wetter.”

Because nothing says “travel podcast” like kelp, 18th century cryptocurrency, and a boiling-water tap with a vendetta.

Featuring:

🔥 Child-proof tech that isn’t middle-aged-man-proof

🐟 Herring history (because nothing screams drama like fish logistics)

🍘 Seaweed — the Bitcoin of the 18th century

🧀 Monks Bear Grylls would salute, assuming he could find them

🦸‍♀️ Ecclesiastical super heroes

🐑 Sheep that prefer Itsu

It’s history, it’s trivia, it’s travel, all soaked in sarcasm.

It's Episode 4 of More Than Words — the podcast where I claim to be traversing Britain, but in reality I’m just sweating on a spin bike.

This week we’re still at sea, so expect:

• Fair Isle’s knitwear empire
• North Ronaldsay’s seaweed‑eating sheep
• Enough lighthouses to keep the Stevenson family in royalties for generations
• Spanish shipwrecks, and
• A golf ball incident that nearly ended this podcast before it even began.

Think National Geographic meets Casualty...
