Thanks @cossackgundi for your powerful interview and reflections on an extraordinary series of events that nearly took your life. People need to listen to this 4 -part podcast, first on @BBCRadio4 then @BBCSounds Drops on 17 Dec.
For anyone interested back in August I recorded an episode with the BBC History podcast Two Nottingham Lads, which drops on the 17th. We talk about my time in captivity, how Graham Phillips and I ended up in the same room, and what it was like being filmed by him under duress.

🦴 In 2012, a shepherd in Argentina found a giant bone while looking for one of his sheep 🦕 It turned out to belong to the largest dinosaur to ever walk the earth - the Patagotitan 🇦🇷 I spoke to palaeontologist Dr Diego Pol from the @mefpatagonia 📻 https://t.co/OfrfJSqKhT
