In this episode, we chat with Dominic Duggan, CEO of Patriot Resources, a junior miner exploring for precious metals, copper and lithium across South America (Tassa), Zambia, Africa (Kitumba project) and in Canada. Dom has moved from the technical and operational side of mining into the CEO role, so we talk about how that changes the way you think from evaluating rocks to allocating capital and prioritising projects across multiple jurisdictions. We also get into what actually needs to be proven early to turn a project into a real development opportunity, the technical signals that justify expanding a drilling program, and why time on site often tells you more than a presentation ever can. We also discuss permitting, community engagement, capital discipline, and the kind of leader he's consciously trying to be and much more.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Engaging meaningfully with communities can facilitate permitting processes and create mutual benefits, rather than viewing community engagement as a hurdle. Patriot Resources is prioritising its Tassa project in Peru, which has shown promising results with a maiden resource of 31 million ounces of silver equivalent Before committing to larger drill programs, the company looks for specific technical signals, such as consistent mineralization and the presence of sulfides Dom aims to be an authentic and approachable leader, focusing on understanding the operations and engaging with the investor community BEST MOMENTS "We're fortunate that there's been a relationship there for a number of years with the local community, but it's certainly something that we're looking to build on and get right from the outset." "The silver price has been really well supported. We certainly share a long-term view around a new price equilibrium or floor, away from the historical lows." "There are some technical signals that the team are seeing there, like the presence of sulfides in multiple locations, sort of consistent mineralization." "I certainly want to live the experience and spend as much time with the teams and in the assets as possible."

At 16, she was a policy volunteer. Today, Bogolo Joy Kenewendo is the economist rewriting the rules for De Beers and her country's diamond trade. In this exclusive interview, Botswana's visionary leader reveals why the "Diamond Era" is shifting—and how the country is racing to unearth a 70% unexplored frontier of critical minerals.We sit down at the 2026 Mining Indaba in Cape Town to discuss Botswana's seismic economic pivot under President Duma Boko. As the global market faces a diamond slump, Minister Kenewendo outlines a radical new strategy: moving beyond raw extraction into downstream beneficiation, regional power interconnectors, and the unearthing of green minerals like copper, nickel, and manganese.From the future of the De Beers partnership to the reality of Africa's energy crisis and the "Kalahari Copper Belt," she outlines how she plans to navigate geopolitical turbulence while protecting Botswana's most valuable assets.Chapters:0:00 | The Diamond Dilemma: Why the monolith economy must pivot1:15 | The 70% Frontier: Unearthing Africa's hidden minerals2:48 | Critical Minerals: Copper, Manganese, and the Green Revolution4:20 | Regional Collaboration: Mining in Zambia, DRC, and Sierra Leone5:50 | The Beneficiation Mandate: Why jewellery must be made in Botswana8:01 | The Career Trajectory: From youth delegate to Minister11:00 | Leading in a Male-Dominated Industry: “I stand my ground”12:45 | The New Social License: Beyond CSR and "School Shoes"14:30 | Nature Regeneration: Finalizing the new ESG policy16:03 | President Duma Boko's Vision: Urgency and Diversification18:20 | Energy Security: The 500MW push for industrialization#botswana#diamonds#criticalminerals#mininginvestment#africa# Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to episode 128 of The Journey Is the Reward!On this episode, Brian and Micah discuss the trek to the Singapore Airshow 2026, but first, the guys have some listener feedback to clear from the runway. Listener Eric writes in about his luggage choices and why "Team Carry-On" sometimes hits maximum capacity for his lifestyle, while Listener Mark issues a "correction notice" to Brian regarding the Auto Train. We also hear from Listener Tanya, who gives us a nice climb in altitude with a compliment on our last episode featuring Carlos of Plane Talking UK.As we reach cruising altitude, the guys dive into the industry radar. Listener Lu wants to know about the potential mergers of Sun Country and Allegiant, along with the rumored "hookup" between United and JetBlue. As usual, Brian and Micah have a different flight path than the rest of the pundits. Then, Micah shares a cautionary tale about his cousin who decided to ignore "Air Traffic Control" (Micah's advice) for a long-haul flight to Thailand—proving that sometimes, ignoring the pre-flight briefing leads to a bumpy ride. In much happier news, Connie's baby finally has a name! We are officially cleared to welcome Chepego as our newest (and youngest) listener.For the main event, listen in as Brian and Micah discuss the potential turbulence of booking through Chase Travel and the pitfalls of third-party manifests. While United didn't disappoint on the long haul to Singapore, the flight was so empty that Brian discovered the "Poor Man's First Class"—where a full row of coach seats might have actually been a better value than a premium pod. Regardless, Brian made a safe landing in Singapore just in time for the airshow. As always, our ears are blessed by the soul-stirring sounds of the Madalitso Youth Choir. Their Welcome and Goodbye songs, recorded at the Royal Livingstone Hotel in Zambia, are the perfect way to bring this flight to a close.You can always find the audio recording at www.thejourneyisthereward.org

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Simon Hunt to the show. Simon Hunt is Consultant on the Global Economy, China, and the Copper Industry. In this wide-ranging discussion, Hunt provides a comprehensive analysis of the current global geopolitical and economic landscape, focusing on the critical transition from a unipolar to a multipolar world order. Hunt argues that the United States is experiencing a significant decline, similar to historical imperial cycles characterized by military overextension, debt accumulation, and internal societal friction. He suggests that the emerging BRICS alliance, led by Russia, China, and India, is fundamentally challenging American hegemony. The potential for conflict between these powers is high, with Hunt predicting a possible war between 2028 and 2030 unless Washington adapts to a multipolar framework. A significant portion of the discussion centers on potential geopolitical flashpoints, particularly in the Middle East. Hunt suggests that any conflict with Iran would be strategically complex, potentially involving Russia and China, who have recently signed a tripartite strategic alliance with Iran. He believes the United States is unlikely to launch an immediate attack, given the potential diplomatic and domestic political consequences. The conversation also delves deeply into economic trends, with Hunt highlighting the ongoing de-dollarization process. He anticipates China will play a pivotal role in this transformation, potentially announcing a gold-backed currency and participating in the creation of a new BRICS currency called the “unit” as early as 2024. Hunt predicts the Dollar Index could halve in value by 2030, potentially driving gold prices to $10,000. Regarding economic outlook, Hunt expects a significant economic correction in the third or fourth quarter of this year, driven by slowing global liquidity, credit cycles, and what he describes as fundamentally false economic reporting in the United States.

In 1961, he came back to London and joined Anglo American Corporation of South Africa as a PA to one of the Board Directors, followed by being part of a small sales and marketing team for copper. From there, he helped start up a new copper development organization, CIDEC, financed by copper producers, which he then joined, focusing on conducting end-use studies of copper in Europe. He then went into the City to gain financial experience and founded Brook Hunt in 1975. He was instrumental in setting up the company’s cost studies and end-use analyses. Simon appeared as material witness and consultant in two ITC anti-dumping cases in 1978 and 1984, winning both at the commission level. He has spent 2-4 months every year in China since 1993, and until a few years ago would be visiting some 80 wire and cable and brass mill factories across the country every year. He now restricts these factory visits to a smaller number, all of which he has known for many years. Simon also spends many weeks each year traveling around Asia. The focus of the company’s services is on the global economy, including the changing geopolitical and financial structures, China’s economy and its copper sector, and then the global copper industry as each part is interconnected. Simon is the author of the “Frontline China Report Service,” which is marketed by the TIS Group. The Service provides regular reports on China’s economy, politics, and financial outlook. Simon established this company in January 1996.

For many girls in Uganda, one opportunity can alter the course of their entire future—and that opportunity often begins with education. Around the world, poverty creates barriers that shape a child's path long before adulthood. But through the work of ministries and local partners, those stories are being rewritten with hope, dignity, and the love of Christ. Aaron Griggs joins the show today to share how Cross International is helping young women stay in school, discover their God-given purpose, and step into a future that once felt out of reach. The Mission: Serving the Most Vulnerable Cross International exists to serve some of the world's poorest and most vulnerable children and families for the glory of God. Rather than operating independently, the ministry works through trusted local churches and organizations across Africa and other regions—partners who understand the communities, relationships, and long-term needs on the ground. This approach allows them to provide immediate help—such as food, clean water, and education—while also fostering sustainable, long-term change. Local leaders remain present long after programs begin, ensuring care that is relational, consistent, and rooted in the Gospel. The Everyday Realities of Poverty For many families in countries like Uganda, Malawi, and Zambia, daily challenges are not simply inconvenient—they are life-altering. A single meal may be the only food a child receives all day. Clean water often requires walking for hours to contaminated sources. Preventable diseases spread quickly due to limited medical care. Education is frequently out of reach because families cannot afford school fees. When children cannot attend school, their opportunities shrink dramatically. For girls in particular, the consequences are often more severe—and more permanent. Why Girls Are Especially Vulnerable When resources are scarce, girls are often the first to be pulled out of school. In some communities, families facing desperate financial strain may feel forced to arrange early marriages for daughters—sometimes as young as 11 or 12—simply to survive. This leads to a heartbreaking cycle: Education ends early Marriage and motherhood begin prematurely Economic opportunities disappear Poverty passes from one generation to the next Without intervention, the very pathway that could break the cycle—education—remains inaccessible. Local Partnership in Action: Project Princess Initiative One of Cross International's key ministry partners in Uganda is the Project Princess Initiative, based in Kampala. Together, they walk alongside vulnerable girls by: Helping them stay in school Providing mentorship and spiritual guidance Teaching practical career and life skills Building confidence rooted in their identity in Christ The goal is not only academic success but whole-person transformation—spiritual, emotional, practical, and relational.  As many girls grow older, something remarkable happens: they begin mentoring others. The hope they received becomes the hope they give. Karen's Story: From Hopelessness to Purpose Karen, a young woman from Uganda, once faced a future filled with uncertainty. After her father abandoned the family, her education stopped. Surrounded by poverty, drugs, and despair, she felt trapped and hopeless. Through Project Princess, everything changed. She returned to school. She encountered mentors who reminded her of her worth in Christ. She discovered a future she never thought possible. Karen eventually attended college and studied economics—an opportunity few girls from her background ever experience. Today, she mentors younger girls facing similar challenges and speaks passionately about the role of faith in her transformation. Her story reflects a powerful truth: when education, mentorship, and the Gospel intersect, lives change. Why Faith Matters in Education Cross International's work centers on more than academics. While education opens doors, true transformation begins in the heart. Their approach focuses on the whole person: Physical needs like food and clean water Emotional support through mentorship Practical training for future careers Spiritual formation through prayer and discipleship Education alone can inform the mind. The Gospel renews the heart and reshapes identity. Together, they empower girls to become who God created them to be. How You Can Get Involved Scripture calls believers to care for the vulnerable. Psalm 82:3 urges us to “defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.” For many, generosity becomes a practical way to live out that calling. Through partnerships like this: Food reaches children who would otherwise go hungry Education keeps girls in school Mentorship restores dignity and hope The message of Christ transforms lives A relatively small gift can create a lasting impact—helping a child receive education, care, and spiritual support for an entire year. Through FaithFi's partnership with Cross International, every $62 helps provide a vulnerable child with a year of support—including education, nutritious food, mentorship, and the hope of the Gospel. Larger gifts can extend that impact to multiple children and families. To learn more or make a one-time gift, visit FaithFi.com/Cross. As you steward the resources God has entrusted to you, this is a tangible way to defend the vulnerable, uplift the oppressed, and invest in futures filled with hope. One opportunity can change a life. Your involvement can help make that opportunity possible. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: We're expecting a car accident settlement this year. Will it be taxable, and do we report it as income? After medical bills and attorney fees, how should we think about tithing on what remains? Our estate is set up in a trust, and we have two adult sons who don't get along. Should we name just one as trustee and power of attorney, or appoint them both? I have $24,000 in credit card debt. A debt management plan would lower my interest rates, but the payments are more than I can afford. If I withdraw $6,000 from my Roth IRA—I'm over 59—to reduce the balance and lower the payment, would that be wise?

Catholic Schools are always looking for ways to make a difference through prayer, fasting and almsgiving? Cross Catholic Outreach, a Vatican-endorsed Catholic global relief and development ministry, is inviting U.S. Catholics to join a large-scale “clean water challenge” to bring safe, abundant drinking water to distant corners of the world — including villages in Zambia facing the country's worst cholera outbreak in decades.  Today, we will be getting an update from CCO President Michele Sagarino about this this effort, carried out with Catholic ministry partners in nine developing countries in Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa. For more information see: http://www.crosscatholic.org/clean-water/ There is a great informational video found at: https://youtu.be/KTnec1tS154

"If we stop mining, we stop our way of life."The Lobito Corridor is more than just a railway; it is a strategic lifeline connecting the Atlantic port of Lobito in Angola to the mineral rich Copperbelt in the DRC and Zambia. In this episode, host Claude Grunitzky sits down with explorer and presenter Dwayne Fields and Sam Williams, Head of Communications at Africell, to discuss the revival of this historic infrastructure. We explore why the U.S. government is mobilizing private capital to secure access to critical minerals like copper and rare earths, which are essential for the global economy. From Dwayne's personal genetic journey back to his ancestral roots in the Copperbelt to Africell's mission to digitize the corridor, this episode examines the intersection of high stakes geopolitics and the human stories of the communities on the ground. Can large scale mining truly benefit ordinary Africans? We look at the risks of exploitation and environmental damage versus the potential for jobs, connectivity, and local prosperity.Plus: why a telecommunications company is making a documentary

Atomic Eagle offers a compelling entry into the uranium bull market, backed by a proven team from Matador Capital—the original architects behind Boss Energy's success and Lotus Resources' recent mine restart. Through a strategic RTO of GovEx Uranium, they've acquired the advanced Muntanga project in mining-friendly Zambia: a 47.4M lb resource at 344 ppm U3O8, with a feasibility study showing robust economics at $90/lb uranium. But the current investment thesis is not that of a mine build story. Atomic Eagle's focus is on aggressive exploration to double resources via a current 50,000m drill program, targeting a 40-100M lb upside which conceptually could see a mega-mine producing 4-5M lbs/year through low-cost heap leaching (90%+ recovery with low acid consumption). Well-funded with ~A$20M cash, Atomic is undervalued when compared, on an enterprise value to pounds-in-the-ground basis, to ASX peers like Deep Yellow and Bannerman. Near-term catalysts: Resource upgrade (early March), feasibility re-release, and exploration drill results. Bonus optionality: Potential recovery of the world-class Madaouela asset in Niger (120M lbs at >1,300 ppm), if current talks with the Niger government are fruitful. In this MSE episode, listen to Atomic Eagle CEO Phil Hoskins explain the company's full investment thesis. https://atomiceagle.com.au/ ASX: AEU - OTCQB: AEUXF 00:00 Intro 00:34 Meet Atomic Eagle: ASX RTO of GoviEx & Who's Behind It 01:28 Matador's Uranium Track Record: Boss Energy to Lotus Restart Success 03:12 Why the GoviEx Deal Happened: ASX Valuation Comps & Timing 04:31 US OTCQB Listing: Tapping North American Uranium Investors 06:05 Friedland Connections & Geopolitics: US/China/Russia in Africa 08:26 The Muntanga Project Breakdown: Resource, Tenure & 2025 FS Context 10:08 Growth Strategy: New Drilling, Resource Upgrade & 4–5M lb/yr Heap Leach Concept 12:32 Funding & 2025 Drill Plan: 50,000m Program and Priority Targets 14:15 Zambia Advantage: Mining-Friendly Jurisdiction, Infrastructure & Export Route 17:12 The Niger Asset: Expropriation, Arbitration & Potential Upside 19:27 Near-Term Catalysts + Technical Upsides: Recovery, Acid Use, Permitting 21:42 Wrap-Up, Tickers, and Sponsor Coverage Ahead Sponsor Atomic Eagle pays MSE a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.

 Imagine tuning a radio time-machine dial between the past and present of the Zambezi River valley; birds weave a tapestry in and out of the soundscape as static, magnetic drift, crosstalk and interference rise and fall with the signals in the atmosphere. The foundation of this mix, an original recording in the Pitt Rivers Museum collection, is a radio broadcast of singing and drumming by an unidentified group circa 1965, in the first years of Zambia's independence and the period of transition from colonial broadcasting structures to a national network. The available information is minimal; a single scrap of paper tells us the recording is "starring Stephen & Pio". During the copying process one of the reels of tape was accidentally overprinted, so that one track runs backwards while another simultaneously runs forward. In my reimagined mix this glitch leads us through history and memory, the reversed rhythms of backwards magnetic tape conducting an aural transition back into the past.  In the 1970s the government and the people supported the Black majorities in neighbouring countries who were engaged in armed struggles against oppressive white settler regimes. Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, acted as the headquarters for clandestine shortwave radio broadcasts supporting these wars of African liberation. In transmissions of solidarity and strategy sent across borders, the sound of gunfire was a form of station identification, heard here among victory celebrations and swarming mosquitoes. Collectivities float across the airwaves: clouds of insects, armies and colonies and communities of people, soloist and chorus in call and response, the undercurrent of winds and rivers, flocks of birds. For the Tonga of Southern Province, birds are associated with spirits and the women who perform rainmaking rituals with them. Tuning into the Zambezi Valley in the 2020s, we catch voices of women's empowerment amidst fragments of an ongoing community radio revitalization movement. New volunteer-run stations are broadcasting on FM in areas where Internet and cell phone service are sketchy or nonexistent, but most households own at least one radio. Questions asked by Brooklyn College anthropology students are answered by students and radio producers in the Zambezi Valley in an exchange of audio letters, part of a co-production with Claudia Wegener (a.k.a. radio continental drift). In the coda we return to the early years of Zambian freedom and independence, as the tape plays backwards again and the individual voices of the original recording multiply to form a nation.Birds: Macaulay Library, Cornell University Ornithology LabClandestine shortwave recordings: Interval Signals OnlineClips: Radio Zambia, Radio Chikuni, Sinazongwe Community Radio Voices:Maseline Mureles (Narrator), Chisa Mwiinde, ManJun Luo, Anna Kowalski, Miriam Salama, Arilda Hyka, Galit Mamrout, Lucia Munenge, Megi Murati, Meggie Cheng, Mrs. Banda Ndeti, Nosiku Mundia, Margaret Munkuli, Monica Siabunkululu, Patience KabukuThanks: Claudia Wegener, Zongwe FM, Zubo Trust for Women, Brooklyn College, Stuart Fowkes, Anna Stereopolou, Wave Farm, Library of Congress Radio Preservation Task Force, National Endowment for the Humanities Radio & Decolonization workshop.Bantu songs from Zambia reimagined by Tom Miller.———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

Africa Highlights and Travel Lessons: Egypt Challenges, Gorilla Trekking, Vic Falls, and Cape TownTyler hosts Non Rev Lounge in Austin with returning guest Melissa and her husband Jay, longtime friends who first met Tyler on a Southwest flight and later traveled together to Hawaii. They discuss Melissa and Jay's multi-week Africa trip planned around Jay's 50th birthday, including missing Tyler's family by a few hours in South Africa due to itinerary timing. The conversation covers a difficult, budget-style stop in Egypt (Cairo) with a non-English-speaking driver, getting lost en route to the pyramids, frequent requests for money from vendors and even a police officer, confusion around museum pickup logistics, being taken to an underwhelming “bazaar,” disappointment about a cheaper-than-expected dinner cruise, and an unpleasant hotel dining payment incident; they conclude Egypt is better done via a prepaid guided tour or river cruise. They then describe traveling through Rwanda and Uganda, visiting the Kigali Genocide Museum (highly emotional and impactful, leading them to skip the planned city tour) and completing a gorilla trek in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest They also recount activities around Victoria Falls such as the Devil's Pool experience on the Zambia side (swimming across, proximity to hippos/crocodiles, and fish nibbling feet), plus zip lining, lion walking (with safety rules and notes about controversy and the operator's reluctance), rafting, and a Botswana safari near Chobe National Park and the Chobe River with many elephants. They touch on flights and logistics—using miles for British Airways into Egypt, buying some intra-Africa flights for reliability (including Ethiopian and Kenya), concerns about weight-restricted flights returning to the U.S. (ultimately flying United to Newark and onward), using candy as a thank-you (sometimes refused as a “bribe”), and doing laundry via sink washing and local services. 00:00 Welcome to NonRev Lounge + Introducing Melissa & Jay01:56 How Tyler & Melissa Met: The Southwest Flight That Started It All02:53 Buddy Passes, Hawaii Trips, and Travel Style Differences04:59 Back to Austin: Texas Weather Whiplash & Catching Up06:07 Why Africa?

A conversation with Sylvia Banda, Zambian business woman, restaurateur and social entrepreneur about her journey started when when she was 12. She opened her first food company, and she hasn't stopped since. She now runs a multi-million-dollar business with over 15 restaurants in Lusaka, Zambia, a food- processing company selling traditional Zambian food worldwide, and has trained over 60,000 smallholder farmers to produce higher-quality products and process them to receive better prices. We talk about why researchers should take a back seat and let farmers and entrepreneurs lead now; why the hand tools many farmers still use belong in a museum and why mechanisation is key, but with care; why processing and preserving are essential to ending hunger; and about nutrition, traditional food versus imported food, and how she taught urban people to re-appreciate what is often considered “food for the poor” that is traditional, nutrient-dense, and tasty food. To supply all of this, she set up two factories and trained over 60,000 smallholder farmers, changing many lives. Enjoy the story and the knowledge of a true Zambian and Southern African powerhouse.More about this episode.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

#210 - What if travel wasn't a checklist but a classroom? I sat with Joy Owens—mother of two, CEO and co-owner of Butler Travel, and veteran of 60 countries—to explore how faith, service, and slow travel can shape a family and a life. From a grandmother who's visited more than 80 countries to Joy's first trip at three months old, her story moves through mission work in Zambia and Kenya, a scrappy road journey toward Argentina, and a solo $10-a-day push to Panama that turned from a rat-infested night into radical hospitality.Joy walks us through teaching in Honduras and Taiwan, the culture shock of moving to Alaska, and why she and her husband bought Butler Travel to serve nonprofits and missionaries with complex ticketing and group logistics. She shares a gripping emergency reroute for a family in Tanzania that helped their daughter reach lifesaving care, and she opens up about surrendering control when December bills loomed, only to witness the agency's busiest month on record. For Joy, faith isn't an accessory; it's how she navigates risk, money, parenting, and purpose.We also dig into the messy magic of traveling with little kids: babies on planes during the quiet months of 2020, a six-week Europe adventure with bikes and tents, and the art of choosing your hard when tantrums and missed trains collide. Joy makes the case for slow travel—one hub, deeper days, fewer repacks—and tells unforgettable stories, from crossing open water in foldable kayaks to a budget misadventure on a Greek island complete with a kindly, very unbothered nude local offering fruit and cheese.If you lead mission trips, plan family journeys, or crave meaningful travel that builds resilience and empathy, this conversation is your map.

Welcome to episode 127 of The Journey Is the Reward!On this episode, Brian and Micah are joined by Carlos, the founder of Plane Talking UK, for a deep dive into the world of aviation podcasting from a UK perspective. Before the guys get to the main event, they start with some essential ground handling from listener Marc. He checks in to discuss the legendary durability of Kirkland Signature luggage and gives us the lowdown on the new location for Geno's Steaks in Hampton, Virginia—a destination definitely worth the detour.The conversation then moves to the airport lounge, as listener Tonya writes in about the perks of buying an annual Priority Pass membership. It's a savvy move for anyone who wants the VIP treatment without being forced to carry a credit card with a "heavy-lift" annual fee. We also tackle a question from listener Lu regarding the ever-expanding world of Basic Economy. Lu wants to know if Micah and Brian would ever actually book one of those "no-frills" seats, and Carlos chimes in with his two pounds of thought, noting how the fare wars look a bit different across the pond.In the spirit of the season, Brian celebrates a successful delivery of Dubai chocolate for Christmas, while another listener proposes a massive trip to India for 2027. We want to know if you're ready to join the crew, so please write in and let us know if you'd be interested in a listener trip to the subcontinent!  Brian@TheJourneyIsTheReward.ORG.Finally, the boys sit down with Carlos to celebrate a milestone that's definitely cleared for departure: the 600th episode of PTUK. Micah and Brian reminisce about attending the 200th and 400th shows, but sadly, Brian has a "maintenance day" for this particular milestone. Because of Momma Coleman's 91st birthday party, Brian will be staying local—after all, family always gets priority boarding.And as always, our ears are blessed by the utterly soul-stirring, goosebump-inducing sounds of the Madalitso Youth Choir! Their Welcome and Goodbye songs, recorded straight from the Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia, are pure magic.

In this episode Johan and Luke have a conversation about the Lower Zambezi and why it's become one of Wild Eye's key safari destinations over the past few years. The discussion covers how the partnership with Classic Zambia came together, what makes the camps work for photographers, and why this place has quietly overtaken South Luangwa as Zambia's premier photographic destination.They talk about those intense first trips that left everyone shellshocked, the guides who understand photographers and will stay out all day when the moment demands it, and some wild sighting stories, including leopards killing crocodiles in the river. The conversation touches on October's heat, the ethics of getting the shot, and why that winter-thorn forest backdrop makes Lower Zambezi special. Plus why you need to get on the water at least once, even if it means skipping a game drive.Visit the Wild Eye website: https://wild-eye.comView our Lower Zambezi safaris: https://wild-eye.com/photographic-travel/lower-zambezi-photo-safari/
