This week I'm joined by Michael Palin. I fell quite heavily for his book The Erebus a story about a ship and have subsequently spent many weeks since exploring other books about expeditions in the 19th and 20th Century. Michael and I talk about HMS Erebus and those that sailed on her. She had incredible voyages and the most mysterious end to any expedition in maritime history. We go deep into the murky icey waters of Captain Franklin and Captain Crosier.Personally it was a great pleasure to spend time with one of the great travel writers of all time. He was sublime.Take care and see you soon!For more episodes of the show, music and my short film go to:WWW.SOMEDAYSAREDIAMONDS.CO.UK
