• #10 Church House Classics with Richard Hudson

  I think it’s fair to say that my guest today is indirectly connected to the overlanding world … but intimately involved with some of the vehicles we love and rely upon when we're out and about exploring the world. He runs a thriving restoration business, manages a popular YouTube channel and, when he’s not wielding his tools, isn’t impartial to British ale or a gin and tonic. My guest’s name is Richard Hudson … aka Church House Classics, and he’s an expert when it comes to Range Rover Classics, Series Land Rovers, MGBs and Triumph Stags. Unsurprisingly, I first ran into Richard on YouTube. I watched one of his videos and promptly ended up binge-watching the series about Bob - you’re going to have to check out his channel if you want to know more! Needless to say, it was Richard’s authenticity, wisdom and unique sense of humour (including his impersonation of seals) that had me glued to the screen. Some would say his workshop is untidy and his language is colourful—the man calls a spade a spade—but Richard possesses an uncanny skill to take the wizardry and mystery of mechanics and bodywork, and turn them into an entertaining, and compelling video series packed with a wealth of hands-on experience. Oh … Richard was also featured in the January 2025 edition of that equally wonderful magazine Land Rover Monthly.

• #9 Central Asia calling with Dr. Kate Leeming

  Dr. Kate Leeming isn’t just an accomplished explorer; she’s also a passionate advocate for sustainability and education. You might know her from her groundbreaking cycling expeditions across some of the toughest terrains on Earth—think Russia, Antarctica, Africa, and of course, Australia.

But there’s more. Kate is also deeply invested in improving prospects for female education, especially in some of the poorest regions of the world. She actively supports initiatives that empower girls through education because she sees it as a vital way to enhance community well-being and promote sustainable development. So, join me as we dive into her incredible stories of exploration, including the ups and downs she’s faced along the way. Plus, we’ll lift the veil on her upcoming expedition into Central Asia, which has the thrilling promise of a world-first geographic discovery.

• #8 Preparing to overland with Reece Rheinbach

  Reece Rheinbach joins me again after a fairly long stint in his second home, Mexico. Reece is back in Europe and preparing to embark on an exciting off-road tour all the way around the Iberian Peninsula.  Now, if you listened to our first podcast together, you’ll remember that Reece successfully drove 1.000 miles Offroad in Wales earlier this year. And boy, did he have a few issues along the way.  Well, he’s using that hard earned experience to improve his rig and gear. In theory, Reece should be heading to the ferry about now, but guess what! He’s still in the throes of reassembling the Toyota.   To keep up to date with all that Reece is up to, follow his social media channels: Instagram | YouTube   This episode is brought to you by Kensington Tours. https://kensingtontours.com
