Driving Through History: Alex Bescoby’s Overlanding Journey Across the World and the Stories That Shape Us
Wednesday, 25 March, 2026
What does it really mean to see and experience the world?I sit down with filmmaker and historian Alex Bescoby to explore the story behind The Last Overland — a 13,000-mile or 20,000km journey retracing a 1950s expedition from Singapore to London in the original Land Rover Series 1. What began as an ambitious road trip quickly becomes something deeper. A reflection on timing, purpose, and the pull of adventure that exists at different moments in life.Alex shares how history shapes the way we experience places, why travel without context can feel empty, and what he learned from spending a decade in Myanmar. Together, we explore bigger questions about freedom, curiosity, and why the most meaningful journeys are not defined by distance, but by how they change the way we see the world.Follow AlexInstagram: @alex_bescoby @thelastoverland @grammarproductionsWebsite: alexbescoby.co.ukIf you enjoyed this episode, please consider sharing it with a friend, subscribing, and signing up for my newsletter at pathspodcast.com to get updates on new episodes.Connect on:Instagram: @paths_podListen and subscribe on:SpotifyApple Podcasts
