Long-term adventurer and explorer Ness Knight has not always called her West Yorkshire farm home. Ness has pioneered some of the world's toughest and most intriguing expeditions, such as her trip to the Essequibo River with the Wai Wai tribe and her adventure partners Pip Stewart and Laura Bingham. A quest which led them to discover much more than the previously unknown source of the river. Ness has also crossed the Namib Desert region solo, swum the length of the Thames and made a world-first descent of the third largest river in South America. It isn't merely firsts and records Ness is interested in however. Meeting local tribes and indigenous peoples, connecting with their way of life and understanding the way they exist in their home landscapes has led Ness to lay some roots of her own at home by starting up a regenerative farm in Yorkshire. Ness is passionate about regenerative agriculture and biodiversity and we dig deep into what this could mean for the future of the planet. Join us for this adventure and sustainability belter, Ness really knows what she's talking about.

Leishmaniasis may not be a household name in much of the rich world, but the parasitic disease is found in over 90 countries, and can lead to agonising disfigurements, and death. It's classified as a neglected tropical disease, which means treatment is underfunded and under-researched. We hear from British adventurer and writer Pip Stewart, who contracted Leishmaniasis on an expedition through the jungle of Guyana. She received treatment in the UK, but it was a harrowing experience. Pip explains how her Guyanese friends have to resort to excruciating home remedies to try and stem the parasite. She's written a book about her ordeal: Life Lessons from The Amazon. We also get the view from Ethiopia, where Dr Helina Fikre explains the difficulties in treating the same parasitic illness. Dr Laurent Fraisse from the Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative tells us about his organisation's search for better treatments, while Dr Madhukar Pai calls for an overhaul of the way tropical diseases are funded.

My guest this episode is a writer, adventurer and broadcaster – essentially all things I want to be when I grow up (she is one year my senior). Pip Stewart has seen some serious SHIT! She cycled 10,000 miles from Malaysia to Britain, and has just completed kayaking the Essequibo River, the largest river in Guyana, with fellow adventurers Laura Bingham and Ness Knight; a world first! Pip, you don’t ‘half fit the bill... you are F***ing Awesome! Unlike my previous guests, Pip’s thirst for adventure and endurance wasn’t one born out of a personal crisis, it’s just in her blood! However the questions she puts to herself and those around her in her ‘Search For Happiness’ are very similar to the ones I put to myself, and after spending a fair bit of time scrolling through her socials I was compelled to make contact with her and invite her onto my podcast. In our conversation we discuss her time living wild in the jungle, how she was nearly bitten by a big old snake, and we delve into what it is to be human. We’re occasionally sidetracked by some local squirrels, but if anything they offer a bit of respite and comic relief between some topics that some would probably consider to be a bit deep. Not me, obviously, deep convos are my bread and butter. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this episode. Apologies again for the slightly sub-par sound quality, I can’t wait for the day when I know how to properly work audio equipment but until that day comes this is just how it is I’m afraid. If you’re enjoying this series then please subscribe, rate the pod and leave a stonking review on itunes, I’d really appreciate it! Thanks for listening, enjoy Episode 4!

In episode 6 we hear from without doubt one of my favourite adventurers (and humans), Pip Stewart. Pip has a wealth of experience in so many different fields. She is an adventurer, journalist and presenter. A hippy at heart, with a love for travel, meditation, health and wellbeing (in her own words...)

After spending 5 years living in Asia, Pip Stewart decided it was time to come home and so she cycled back to the UK. Late last year Pip cycled through Brazil and Peru to raise awareness of the plight of the Amazon forest.
