Boudicca

3/18/2024
The first of her name! Boudicca was a warrior Celt. Not much is known of her but she has been described as tall, fierce and charming. She led a revolt against the Roman Empire which ignited the remaining clans (in modern U.K.) to rise up and join the cause.

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar

3/11/2024
As MLK was beginning the Civil Rights movement, he was met by a man from the opposite side of the world striving for the same thing. Dr. Ambedkar was a voice striving to work against the caste system in India fighting for the "Untouchables". The part of a broken system that he was born into. The work ethic is staggering and his book collection is equally impressive! Follow us on Instagram: Space Daisy Films

The Voynich Manuscript

2/26/2024
We all love a good mystery and this text still remains one of the weirdest and hardest codes to crack. Dating back to the Italian Renaissance, it's origins are still up for grabs.

Shirley Chisholm

Jeanne Baret

9/11/2023
Our last female of Season 2 was a capital A, Adventurer. She snuck under the radar during her time and apparently in our own history books. She hid in disguise to travel the natural world and learn how to be a scientist. She is the true reason our show even exists. The first of her kind (that we know of) and the brave heart that we all wish to have. Follow us on Instagram: Space Daisy Films

Gerald Lawson

This adventurer was at the forefront of one of the most profitable industries in the last decade...video games. He did so much for the industry in the most subtle way. It's often that a simple idea can revolutionize a moment and Gerald found that thing. He was an engineer and a brilliant mind and even collaborated with Stevie Wonder on an invention! Just a smart mind and a bright spirit. Follow us on Instagram: Space Daisy Films

We all have a soft spot for critters and in the particular episode we talk about very special cat.

Pytheas

8/14/2023
This guy is the O.G. of travel and adventuring. His trials and sailing were documented pre-Antiquity. For those that don't known that is time before Plato and Aristotle. A time in world history that in some parts remains a mystery to us today. This adventurer set the bar for exploration and was the first to document several pieces of the newly developing word. An incredible story and a fascinating human. Follow us on Instagram: Space Daisy Films

Anthony Bourdain

7/24/2023
This guy is no spring chicken, though I'm sure he would have an opinion on said dish. He pioneered the food and travel lifestyle. Showing everyone the value in a good meal and a good destination no matter where in the world. His end was tragic but his legacy still remains as the "bad boy" of the food world. Shedding light on the food industry giving us all a realistic perspective on the industry that is highly sought after but often under appreciated. Follow us on Instagram: Space Daisy Films

Lady Hester Stanhope

7/17/2023
She has been called an angel, even a wise oracle. Some might have even called her a tall glass of water but most would know her as the Queen of the Desert. She explored incredible territories, searched for treasure, made peace tidings with warring countries and even live in a monastery at the top of a hill. She absolutely set her own path and marched to the beat of her own drum. Even Lord Byron had choice words about her. Follow us on Instagram: Space Daisy Films

Laughing is one of the most primal things we can do. Its such an interesting emotion. Well this adventurer knew how to get people to do so. He was one of the first from his tribe to step out and make it big in a modern world. He was all over late night talk shows in the 70s through the 90s. A legend in the comedy world.
