Hello and welcome!

I specialise in researching and presenting anthropology, archaeology, social history and outdoor adventure.

For me, it’s all about discovering and telling people’s stories in the most exciting and compelling way – on TV, radio, podcast, in print and in person.

From the heart of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster zone, to conflict zones in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the slums of Dhaka, the backstreets of Swansea, the high fells of Britain’s Lake District and FTSE100 boardrooms.
