À propos de cet audio

Exploring Britain’s furthest flung places — and the limits of one man’s knees. “More Than Words” chronicles a virtual expedition across Britain’s extremes — from the northernmost village to the southernmost settlement, with stops at the highest peak, the lowest fen, and several places that sound made up. It’s part fitness challenge, part cultural exploration, and mostly an excuse to write about obscure trivia, failed resolutions, and the joys of conditional formatting. Expect puns, ghosts, and reflections on the slow collapse of my joints.Gary Wilson Essais et carnets de voyage Sciences sociales
