The Art of Adventure is a weekly podcast from Arthur Beale hosted by Hugh Taylor. Each episode dives into one extraordinary journey, from history’s most famous names to overlooked pioneers and modern trailblazers. Along the way, we ask what these stories reveal about the real art of adventure: the preparation, the doubt, the grit, the judgement - and the tiny choices that change everything.

New episodes every Wednesday.

"The Art of Adventure hosts an interview about a different exploration each week, from George Mallory’s expedition to Everest in 1924, to Ernest Shackleton’s ill-fated Endurance, and Sharman’s space flight. It has been steadily climbing the charts, which is a feat in itself, given that it’s hosted by a shop, rather than the likes of Goalhanger." - daisy dunn for the spectator
