Running in Scotland is all about being immersed in the landscape – whether you're up high on a ridge, on a tranquil forest track or negotiating a technical descent – it all adds up to be an unforgettable experience.

‘He who cannot find wonder, mystery, awe, the sense of a new world and an undiscovered realm in the places by the Gray’s Inn Road will never find those secrets elsewhere.’ – Arthur Machen 
The Grey Soul of London is an audio guided tour. Robert Kingham takes a walk across the worn and hollowed stones of the Angel and Clerkenwell districts of London in search of places that inspired the writer Arthur Machen (1863-1947). This was originally a historical guided tour commissioned for the Museum of London’s Urban Myths season in 2011. 
The Grey Soul of London has now been rewritten and expanded for 2023, with incidental music by Rich Cochrane. Everything you need in terms of directions and instructions is contained within the audio narrative, so you can just listen and walk. If you want, you can also find a map of the walk online at minimumlabyrinth.org, plus a picture gallery illustrating some of the people, places and events mentioned. 
‘It is a district both devious and obscure, and I suppose that its twisting streets and unexpected squares of dusty trees will all come to ruin before they are intelligently explored.’ – Arthur Machen

Journey to the ancient past with cutting-edge science and new data to discover how horses forever altered the course of human history. 
 
   
  
From the Rockies to the Himalayas, the bond between horses and humans has spanned across time and civilizations. In this archaeological journey, William T. Taylor explores how momentous events in the story of humans and horses helped create the world we live in today. Tracing the horse's origins and spread from the western Eurasian steppes to the invention of horse-drawn transportation and the explosive shift to mounted riding, Taylor offers a revolutionary new account of how horses altered the course of human history. 
 
  
  
Drawing on Indigenous perspectives, ancient DNA, and new research from Mongolia to the Great Plains and beyond, Taylor guides listeners through the major discoveries that have placed the horse at the origins of globalization, trade, biological exchange, and social inequality. Hoof Beats transforms our understanding of both horses and humanity's ancient past and asks us to consider what our relationship with horses means for the future of humanity and the world around us.

What does it mean to feel awe in an age when every corner of the planet can be seen from a screen? 
In A Geography of Wonder, celebrated travel writer Reece Davis sets out on a deeply personal quest — to rediscover the feeling that first drew him to the road: wonder. From Iceland’s volcanic deserts to the emerald jungles of Borneo, from silent Arctic nights to crowded city streets, Davis seeks out places and moments that still have the power to humble and astonish. 
Along the way, he reflects on how wonder shapes our understanding of the world — and why, in a time of speed and certainty, slowing down to feel awe might be the greatest act of exploration left. 
Blending rich travel narrative with philosophy and poetic insight, A Geography of Wonder is a celebration of curiosity, reverence, and the untamed beauty that still beats within the human spirit.

Join Williams as he explores the days of early settlement and European contact, Karankawa and Tonkawa legends, and the Coastal Bend's tallest of tall tales.
