43 分钟Brian Cox and Robin Ince venture to the home place of exploration in Porto, Portugal at the Explorers Club as they discuss science at the extremes of exploration. Joining them is volcanologist Jess Phoenix, astronaut Mike Massimino, astrobiologist and oceanographer Britney Schmidt as well as adventurer and broadcaster Anneka Rice. They discuss breaking robots under the Antarctic ice shelf, chasing after narco-traffickers to retrieve a rock hammer and how viewing the earth from the vantage point of space can profoundly influence how you feel about humanity.

This was an impregnable fortress.
The only way you got out was in a wooden box.
The controversial maximum security prison, impossible to escape from.
One of the duties of a political.
Prisoner is the escape the IRA inmates who found a way.
I'm Carlo Gabler and I'll be navigating a path through the disturbing inside story of the biggest jailbreak in british and irish history.
The narrative that they want is that.
This is a big achievement by then.
Escape from the maze.

Hello, I'm Brian Cox.
I'm Robin Ince and this is agaiola infinato do macacco.
Very good, because that's Robin's Portuguese, because we are in Porto, Portugal for a gathering of the Explorers Club.
That does mean infinite monkey cage, by the way.
We checked with the waiter earlier and we made sure he had a good tip, so I think I trust him.
Anyway, this is a very exciting thing because we are celebrating the Explorers Club, something which Brian is a member of, which is ridiculous as well, because any regular listeners at home will know Brian frequently gets lost going from the dressing room to the stage.
So the idea that you're an explorer mixing with people who have traveled across the globe and indeed into space and you find 100 metres difficult, my claim.
Is I'm an explorer of the subatomic world, where you inevitably get lost.
What a cast iron alibi.
