About this episode

As we emerge from our winter torpor, it’s time to hit the road. We visit a new exhibition of work by photographer Russell Young in London, before heading to Athens to a mind-expanding supper club. We’ll meet an expert to discuss the social history of road films and hear about one writer’s journey to Mongolia, where he found himself the owner of an ever-expanding cashmere collection.
