Local — 'After years of expeditions all over the world, adventurer Alastair Humphreys spends a year exploring the detailed local map around his home. Can this unassuming landscape, marked by the glow of city lights and the hum of busy roads, hold any surprises for the world traveller or satisfy his wanderlust? Could a single map provide a lifetime of exploration?

Discovering more about the natural world than in all his years in remote environments, he learns the value of truly getting to know his neighbourhood.

An ode to slowing down, Local  is a celebration of curiosity and time spent outdoors, as well as a rallying cry to protect the wild places on our own doorstep.

Your Brain on Climate  In this brilliant series, host Dave Powell probes his guests, usually experts on an aspect of psychology, on how the facts that we have allowed ourselves to sleepwalk into a climate crisis, and are now finding it so hard to climb out again, can be explained by taking a close look at how our brains work. Understanding why we do what we do could be the biggest key of all to finding solutions.

Ramblings  In each episode, host Clare Balding is taken for a walk by an inspiring person from that local area. The wonderful stories they tell demonstrate not only the benefits enjoying the beautiful places near home, but also of finding connections through community projects. These people seem to have found what life is really about.
