EP06: Walker’s World | The Polish King of Madagascar
Ugandan tyrant Idi Amin once claimed he was the last King of Scotland, a fanciful claim no one took seriously but made a good movie. Yet we stop in our globetrotting tracks to hear Peter Walker reveal that there was once a Polish king of the huge African island of Madagascar. In perhaps Peter's zaniest episode of Walker's World so far, he's back from his travels with the most exotic fruit - enough to make Sir Walter Raleigh's potatoes go off.

EP05: Walker’s World | Tadeusz Kościuszko and US Independence Day
As we join fellows who are Americans, to celebrate their Independence Day in the United States, Peter Walker brings you a jaw dropping story of one Tadeusz Kościuszko, an engineer, statesman and military leader who is revered today as a national hero in five nations: Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, France and the United States. He helped win independence for the USA, promoted black Americans' education and demanded an end to slavery 90 years before the American Civil War. He even made it onto a Polish bank note during the Communist era. This is a trip worth taking! Join Peter now!
