The Future of Exploration Live with Tim Marshall

Hear a live recording of The Future of Exploration with award-winning journalist and bestselling author Tim Marshall, interviewed by Matt Pycroft. Tim Marshall is one of the UK’s most respected geopolitical commentators and the author of Prisoners of Geography. With decades of experience reporting from conflict zones and global hotspots, his work reveals how geography continues to shape politics, power, and the future of nations.In this conversation, Tim turns his attention beyond Earth, exploring the emerging geopolitics of space. As nations and private companies race to expand their presence beyond our planet, what does exploration mean in this new frontier? Hosted by Matt Pycroft, this new RGS podcast series is an inquiry into what it means to explore in a rapidly changing world. We’ll speak with leading thinkers, scientists, and explorers to examine both the practical frontiers and the philosophical questions that define modern discovery. The series asks what’s left to explore, how exploration is changing, and why it matters more now than ever before – a conversation that will challenge assumptions, broaden perspective, and help shape how we understand the unknown in the decades ahead.
