Episode 008: Climbing The Pyramids Jan 26, 2019

Show notes

What is urban exploration? The tabloids would have you believe that it’s teenagers dangling from cranes on building sites, but the reality is very different. Over decades, a group of larger-than-life characters have carved out a lifestyle that you might consider a work of fiction. For now, this particular guest would like to remain anonymous. However, he has agreed to a full length feature interview that we’ll record and release when the time is right. In this introductory dispatch ‘Fish’, as we’ll call him, tells us about the time he climbed the Great Pyramid of Giza and escaped from the Egyptian Army on the back of a rented camel.
