Patrick is joined by writer Ed Caesar to chat about his new book The Moth and the Mountain which tells the incredible story of Maurice Wilson, who in 1933 despite very little flying or climbing experience set out to fly to Mount Everest and become the first man to reach the summit.

Ed chatted about how Wilson’s experiences fighting in World War One affected him in later years and influenced his decision to seek adventure when he returned home.
