Summary
Good evening, dear listener, and welcome to the 300th episode of the Bore You to Sleep podcast. I'm Teddy, your host, and tonight we delve into "The Whys and Wherefores of Navigation," a fascinating book written by Gershom Bradford in 1918. This book takes us on a journey through the intricacies of navigation on both land and sea, a topic that has guided explorers and travelers for centuries.
Before we embark on tonight’s reading, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported this podcast over the past five years.
