If you think colonialism ended after the Second World War, then my latest conversation may surprise you.
Simon Winchester joins me to talk about Tristan da Cunha, hiding under a bed in the Falklands, and how he bluffed his way into the world’s most notorious military base.
“Outposts: Journeys to the Surviving Relics of the British Empire” was first published in 1985, and is still in print. It’s one of the 5 or 6 books I had in mind when I started the Personal Landscapes podcast, and it remains one of my favourite books about place.
