The story of the mountain climbers is called 'Touching the Void'. There's a book, a film, articles - it's an amazing story. There's even a very good talk about it by a Buddhist monk called Jnanavaca. He's a very eloquent speaker - you can find the talk here: https://www.freebuddhistaudio.com/audio/details?num=OM697

First, mainly for our legal team but for anyone interested in true crime, here are two podcasts that I thoroughly recommend. You really need to listen to this series first - this is a 'true crime' investigation on American Public Radio:

Once you've listened to that and know the story, you can progress to this podcast series, which is a group of lawyers looking at the legal ins and outs of the story. It starts off a little unsteadily, as none of them had done podcasts before, but they improve after two or three episodes, and they make the legal side absolutely fascinating.

Finally, do check out our free online courses, which are produced by the British Council and FutureLearn.

For anyone interested in taking IELTS, the 'Understanding IELTS' MOOC is very good, and a useful compliment to our in-house course.
