| 0:00.0 | I'm Rory Stewart and I grew up wanting to be a hero and I'm still fascinated by the ideas of heroism. |
| 0:09.0 | In my new series, I'm taking in the long sweep of history from Achilles to Zelensky and asking, what is a hero? |
| 0:16.0 | Simply doing your job, being a decent human being. |
| 0:20.0 | A true hero is someone who just kind of shines by |

| 0:28.6 | Rory Stewart. Listen on BBC Sounds. BBC Sounds, music, radio podcasts. |
| 0:37.4 | You see, you don't even have to pretend now because that is your voice. |

| 0:46.8 | How are... |
| 0:48.0 | Well, I'm not quite sure. |
| 0:49.6 | Give me the worst case scenario. Will you make it through the program? |
