Bradley Garrett: Inside the Places You're Never Meant to See

What lies beneath the cities we walk through every day, and what drives someone to explore the places the rest of us are told to stay out of? Bradley Garrett, the outlaw geographer, urban explorer, photographer and author of Explore Everything, joins Aleksandra King, host and producer, on The BEYOND Podcast for a journey through the world's hidden and off-limits spaces: London's buried rivers, abandoned asylums, the Chernobyl exclusion zone and the top of the Shard.Bradley also opens up about the consequences of pushing boundaries, from being arrested and spending two years on bail to being treated as a security risk, and the philosophy that shaped his unconventional life: weighing risk against reward, following curiosity, and refusing to spend his limited time working on someone else's project. The Bradley Garrett podcast episode closes inside the growing world of doomsday prepping and the vast tunnel systems that quietly make modern life possible.In this conversation: how an archaeologist becomes an outlaw geographer; what actually exists beneath a modern city; the Shard climb, and what happened when the police boarded his plane; how he weighs risk against reward, and when a risk stops being worth it; why people are investing millions in underground survival spaces.Full episode page: thebeyondpodcast.comGuest: bradleygarrett.comAleksandra King, host and producer: aleksandraking.comNothing in this episode is encouragement or instruction to trespass, enter restricted or hazardous locations, evade security, or undertake dangerous or unlawful activities.
