In Yeti, now a hit BBC podcast and radio show, I set out across the Himalayas with my much more sceptical friend Richard across the Himalayas in search of the truth behind the legend of the eponymous creature.
It’s a quest that ends up overturning just about everything we think we know. We discover that what most outsiders think of as the yeti is actually a western invention, dreamed up to sell newspapers and B-movies. But one that’s based on a Himalayan reality that is a lot stranger than fiction — and that, remarkably, is very much alive and kicking.
