Andree's Arctic Balloon Expedition
from Citation Needed
Andrée's Arctic balloon expedition of 1897 was an effort to reach the North Pole in which all three expedition members perished. S. A. Andrée, the first Swedish balloonist, proposed a voyage by hydrogen balloon from Svalbard to either Russia or Canada, which was to pass, with luck, straight over the North Pole on the way. The scheme was received with patriotic enthusiasm in Sweden, a northern nation that had fallen behind in the race for the North Pole.

Journey of Joy
Joy T. Williams
After my dad passed in 2014 I needed to do a deep introspection, and this podcast captures my journey from healing to joy. Well, that is how this podcast got started. It has now morphed into a dialogue of life events with my faith being an integral part of the conversation, but also more! The list is as vast and as limited as my life experiences, so come take a peek at the many adventures I share with you. Folks of different faiths, agnostics, and even atheists have described these conversations as insightful, challenging, and entertaining. Hope you will join the conversation!

For F1's Sake
Ollie, Terry & Phill
Ten years of reviewing every grand prix with a satirical slant. Formula 1 needed fixing - and now it's fixed. Job done.From 2015-25, Cheeka, Terry, Phill and latterly Ollie met in a pub and complained about the sport they loved because of daddy issues - listen back to seminal moments and, if you like what they did... buy them a pint! We may return. Probably when Netflix gets bored.
