If you missed part 2 click here. Day 2 continued: Post 4: Inspired by Jeanne I decided to go find the Ford Theatre where Abraham Lincoln was shot, and, by default, the house across the street where he succumbed, the following day, to the bullet that had penetrated both hemispheres of his brain. In the museum in the building next door you can see the weapons Lincoln's bodyguard offered him […]
If you missed part 1, you can access it here. Day 2: What a busy day - I'm sure it's not always going to be like this but I'm definitely going to have to break today into several posts, so here goes: Post 1: The day started off with a mandatory Covid test, which thankfully came back negative and then a walk to find a coffee shop with Tony from […]
This time last year I had jetted over to the United States as part of the Edward R Murrow Program for Journalists, after having been nominated by the U.S. Embassy in Namibia but having had to wait through the 'Covid years'. At the time I didn't really share too much of the trip on any of Future Media's official channels, but having seen the memories come up on Facebook this […]
If you missed the interview David had with Guilliuame Kruger about the Motorcycle show that will be taking place at the Old Wheelers Club to raise funds for the SPCA you can listen to it here:
According to the World Health Organisation, every year 703 000 people take their own life and there are many more people who attempt suicide.

I got to speak to Rudie de Waal from Shephard's Hill Wildlife Sanctuary about the 'bluk skud' fundraiser that will be taking place on Friday 30 August and how Namibians can get involved, not just in this initiative, but in a more ongoing way as well. We also chatted about the state of the country's rhino population and successes in growing and protecting it.
I was very sad to hear that William Smith died yesterday. I can’t remember where exactly I would have watched him – whether they featured him on Namibian TV when I was growing up or if it was just in the two years that I spent at boarding school that I would have seen him, but I definitely know that I did watch his TV maths lessons – apparently not […]
In today's show I spoke about the Poozeum in Williams, Arizona, where the walls are lined with display cases filled with coprolites — fossilized faeces from animals that lived millions of years ago. With the samples ranging from tiny little termite droppings to the Guinness World Record holding 61cm long 15cm wide largest known coprolite left by a carnivorous animal, that is believed to be T.Rex poop, here's a video […]
