The Podclarkes
This is the podcast where two siblings delve into the life of their dad, one story at a time.
There's no doubt he's had an extremely wild life. From crossing eight international borders without a passport, to nearly falling off the edge of Victoria falls (and subsequently narrowly avoiding getting eaten by a crocodile). Then there's the time he was on an aeroplane and the engine blew-up on takeoff, or that occasion when he had breakfast with an American President.
Episode by episode we will be teasing out the details of his adventures during our childhood now that we're all full on grown-ups. New episode on the first Friday of each month.
