Accompanied only by three Amazigh Muslim men and their camels, Scottish explorer Alice Morrison set off to find a hidden world. During her journey along the Draa river, she encountered dinosaur footprints and discovered a lost city, as well as what looked like a map of an ancient spaceship, all the while trying to avoid landmines, quicksand and the deadly horned viper.

To understand the differences between British and American culture, you must understand that the two countries have everything in common except the language itself. The line has been blurred in the technological age, as we see US English words crop up increasingly in the UK. However, the bulk of the British English language has stayed true to its original form. Across the entirety of the British Isles, the language shifts, and changes to suit the current town or city of the occupant.

In 1921, Britain's most illustrious highway, the Great North Road, ceased to exist – on paper at least.

A hundred years later, journalist and cyclist Steve Silk embraces the anniversary as the perfect excuse to set off on an adventure across 11 days and 400 miles. Travelling by bike at a stately 14 miles per hour, he heads north, searching out milestones and memories, coaching inns and coffee shops.

When civil war broke out in Spain in 1936, Orwell, like many other European socialists, was quick to join the fight against fascism.

Patrick Dixon spent years working as a doctor at University College Hospital, while his wife, Sheila, was a magistrate - high-pressure careers that demanded long hours away from their home, family and passion for sailing. It is a frustrating story many occasional sailors can relate to, but unlike most, Patrick and Sheila realised early enough that they could only bend so far before something snapped; they could only take on so much before they drowned.

平成25年に式年遷宮が行われた、伊勢の神宮。それが内宮・外宮より成ることは一般にも知られているが、その他に多くの別宮・摂末所管社があり、全て合わせると125社となる。由来は様々だが、その多くは、神宮創祀の際、地元の神が従って、神宮に土地の譲渡や貢納を約束する話となっている。その別宮の一つ伊雑宮が、志摩市に鎮座する。この伊雑宮は、伊勢から離れたリアス式海岸に近いという地理的条件もあって、別宮の一つでありながら、独立的傾向が強かった。明治の神仏分離を経てもなお、北極星の信仰に関わる祭祀が続けられ、江戸時代には、伊雑宮こそが神宮の発祥、中心であるという偽書の発行に関わり、幕府より弾圧を受けるという「まつろわぬ」歴史もある。そもそも伊勢とは、神話の時代に遡れば「まつろわぬ」土地だった。また、中世においても「まつろわぬ」ものの噴出する土地であった。朝廷、国家の宗教的中心地に、なぜ「まつろわぬ」要素があるのか。事象の「裏側」から見た、伊勢というものの深層を掘り下げる。語り:高橋御山人 聞き役:盛池雄峰
