#20 The Coast

This week we're heading for the coast to discover the story behind the birth of modern weather forecasting. We're also off to learn about the world's first lighthouse: the Great Lighthouse of Alexandria. Elis will be bringing some coals to Newcastle. And there's also a 4th part to this one (explain that in a second!) which is the real 4th emergency service: THE COASTGUARD. As we mention in the show, we've launched a subscription! With a subscription you'll get the 4th part of every episode, ad-free listening, get episodes a week ahead of everyone else and get a bonus episode every month!
