Ever wonder really lies beneath the Great Sphinx? What secrets are hidden in Tesla’s lost notebooks? And seriously, where did they put the Ark of the Covenant? Hey, I’m Luke and spend my time writing adventure novels and daydreaming about ancient mysteries (Probably 30% writing, 70% daydreaming). The Adventure Story Podcast is my excuse to talk with the dreamers and the doers of adventure—those who craft epic quests from their laptops, and real-world explorers who laugh in the face of GPS. Plus, I'll share some of the misadventures that inspired my books and look back on some of the classic adventure stories we all know and love. Each episode is part Indiana Jones, part behind-the-scenes adventure novel, and part late-night conspiracy session—but with better jokes and less tin foil. *Disclaimer: This podcast is based on true events. Maybe. Possibly. Okay, probably not. But that's half the fun.

    Aviation Adventures with Nate Van Coops
    2026/08/05
    Picture this: you're flying your trusty Cessna above the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean when the engine note changes in a way you know it shouldn't. That's the world Nate Van Coops writes from and lives in.Nate has spent 30 years in aviation as a commercial pilot, mechanic examiner, and certified flight instructor. He's poured all of it into the Archangel Aviation series, following former Black Hawk pilot Luke Angel through sun-soaked mysteries across coastal Florida, the Gulf, and the Bahamas. In this episode, Luke sits down with Nate to find out how real flying experience becomes gripping fiction and why aviation and adventure have always gone hand in hand.In This Episode, We Explore:From art school dropout to aviation author — Nate started flying lessons at 15, detoured toward fine art, then found his way back to the sky and eventually realized the smartest move was writing about the world he already knew.Putting the aircraft front and center — Rather than treating planes as a way to get characters from A to B, Nate makes flying itself the adventure — right down to the golden-age Grumman Mallard flying boat he casts as his hero's aircraft.Real airports, real risk — From setting scenes at St. Pete's actual Albert Whitted Airport to calculating exactly how far a plane could fly on its fuel tanks, Nate explains why he'd rather mess up almost anything else in a story before the aviation.The detective who happens to be a pilot — Luke Angel solves mysteries using aviation knowledge nobody else in the story has, but Nate deliberately made sure being a pilot isn't what makes him special, since everyone in his world is one too.Episode Timestamps:02:33 - Early Aviation Spark05:27 - Planes as Adventure07:52 - Golden Age Flying Romance10:16 - Vintage Flying Hands On13:04 - Writing Authentic Aviation17:55 - Building A Relatable Hero21:15 - Accuracy Versus Drama31:16 - Stories That Inspired NateLinks Referenced in This Episode:Nate's InstagramNate's WebsiteGot a Story Idea?If you have a mystery, legend, or adventure you’d like me to explore, drop a comment or email me at hello@lukerichardsonauthor.com.

  • Pandora, Greece, and Paradise at the Edge of the World with James Richardson

    Pandora, Greece, and Paradise at the Edge of the World with James Richardson
    2026/07/29
    We all know the story: the first woman ever made lifted the lid on something she'd been told to leave alone, releasing sickness and sorrow and death into the world, and we've been paying for it ever since. It's the tidiest morality tale in the whole Greek canon, but almost every part of it is wrong.In today's episode I sit down with James Richardson (no relation!) to talk about the real story behind Pandora and her jar — that's right, it wasn't even a box — and why he found this myth so inspiring that it shaped his latest golden age archaeological thriller, The Olympus Vendetta.James has spent years retelling Greek mythology to his own sons, and he traces these stories back through Hesiod, the Bronze Age collapse and three thousand years of retellings. We cover what Pandora's myth actually says, where the Land of the Hesperides might really be, and why Heracles keeps solving his labours with his brain instead of his fists.Grab a copy of the Olympus Vendetta HEREHere's what it's all about: AN ANCIENT GREEK LEGEND. AN UNHOLY ALLIANCE. AN APOCALYPTIC WEAPON.December 1939. New York P.I. Jackson Raine thinks he's hunting kidnappers. He's wrong. A missing persons case drags him onto the trail of a secret stretching back to the dawn of civilization, and into the path of the Spanish Inquisition, returned from the shadows and allied with the Third Reich's elite occult division. Both are racing to find the Well of Sorrows — the real Pandora's Box — and the weapon sealed inside it.From a floating fortress to the caves of Greece to a long-lost island, Jack has to unlock the past before the gods take their vengeance.Perfect for fans of Indiana Jones, James Rollins and Andy McDermott.Grab a copy of the Olympus Vendetta HEREIn This Episode, We Explore:The real Pandora myth — no box, no accident. Hesiod's original Greek describes a pithos, a massive storage jar, and Pandora herself was less a careless woman than a "beautiful evil" engineered by Zeus specifically to punish mankind.The Land of the Hesperides — the Greeks' mythical western paradise, guarded by a never-sleeping hundred-headed dragon and shifting location on the map as Greek sailors pushed further west — from the Atlas Mountains to the Canaries.Heracles, the thinking man's hero — how the "world's strongest man" solves most of his twelve labors through cunning rather than brute force, and the surprising family tie that links him directly to Pandora's bloodline.The Temple of Artemis as sanctuary — one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, four times the size of the Parthenon, and a literal place of legal asylum where women fled persecution under a matriarchal religious order.Episode Timestamps:03:41 - Zeus and Prometheus06:22 - Hesperides Paradise09:25 - Apples Atlantis Avalon13:40 - Heracles and Myth Variants17:44 - Pandora Lineage Link22:18 - Temple of Artemis27:33 - Pandora as Propaganda32:42 - Childhood Myth Origins36:58 - Olympus Vendetta OverviewLinks Referenced in This Episode:James' WebsiteGot a Story Idea?If you have a mystery, legend, or adventure you’d like me to explore, drop a comment or email me at hello@lukerichardsonauthor.com.

  • Inspired by Iceland with Monika Pronczuk

    Inspired by Iceland with Monika Pronczuk
    2026/07/22
    There's a volcano on the western tip of Iceland where, according to one of the greatest adventure stories ever written, the journey to the centre of the earth begins.Jules Verne knew what he was doing.Because Iceland isn't just a travel destination — it's a feeling, a pull, something that gets under your skin and doesn't let go, even when you're back home, even when months have passed, even when you've already been four times.For Monika Pronczuk, though, Iceland isn't just a destination she covers on her travel blog, Plan Pack Explore. It's the one place she can't stop going back to. She first planned a family trip there in 2022 — badly, by her own admission, against a backdrop of cancelled flights, sick kids, and a volcano that erupted days before she landed. Four trips later, she still hasn't run out of places to show her family, or herself.In this episode, we go from the touristy Golden Circle to the honor-system campsites of the highlands, from troll legends written into the landscape to the one moment that actually rattled her. If a place needs to earn its "adventure" credentials, Iceland does it in the first five minutes off the plane.In This Episode, We Explore:Folklore as daily life — trolls, hidden people, and the Yule Lads aren't tourist material in Iceland; they shape where roads get built and how locals talk about the landscape.Going off the well-trodden path — a warm river you can bathe in after a 45-minute hike, Iceland's oldest swimming pool tucked into an empty valley, and a working farm with a resident reindeer named Tova.Driving into the highlands — beginner-friendly F-roads, camper van life, and why renting a car (not a tour bus) is Monika's top recommendation.The one time it got scary — not the remote wilderness, but a yellow wind warning five minutes from a hotel, and what it taught her about trusting the locals.Episode Timestamps:03:52 – Planning Backwards: A Cancelled Trip, a Volcano, and a Leap of Faith07:34 – Trolls, Hidden People, and Roads Built Around Legends11:04 – The First-Timer's Route: Golden Circle, Secret Lagoon, South Coast15:03 – Camper Van Life and the Honor-System Campsites18:02 – Off the Guidebook Path: A Warm River and a Farm Called Home20:53 – Into the Highlands: Beginner F-Roads and Epic, Empty Landscapes22:38 – The Only Time It Got Scary (and It Wasn't the Wilderness)29:33 – The Twelve-Volume Mystery Series That Started It AllLinks Referenced in This Episode:Monika's WebsiteMonika's InstagramGot a Story Idea?If you have a mystery, legend, or adventure you’d like me to explore, drop a comment or email me at hello@lukerichardsonauthor.com.
