On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

Join Myself and Katherine between Christmas and New year on a number of stalks around aberdeenshire. The journey starts at the target settling Katherine into the rifle. I think the nerves of the microphone didn't help. We stalk 4 different areas in each case they present different challenges. The weather on this weekend was incredible difficult, no wind and incredibly mild for the time of year. Who is this podcast aimed at new stalkers or people interested in getting into stalking. Why do I say that because I am sure some experienced stalkers will have different ways of doing things. __________________________________________________________________________________ Thinking about doing the PDS1 or PDS2 use the link below. https://www.shootingandhuntingacademy.co.uk/link/6f1QuV Using this link above you will get a Free PDS1 Shooting assessment with myself in scotland Support the show Instagram https://www.instagram.com/the_outdoor_gibbon/…
