Episode 129, Mar 27, 2022, 11:00 PM
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success.
This week Chris brings the famous story of Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew on board the Endurance. An expedition which should have been a global success but instead ended up being one of thee most harrowing stories of survival in the face of certain death.
Chris focuses however on the brilliance of Captain Frank Worsley and how his expertise ended up being the difference in life and death throughout the expedition.
Whilst Sir Ernest famously gets all the credit for this expedition Chris highlights the lesser known side of the story which is how without Frank Worsley it would have been a different tale to tell altogether.
