The Blizzard Podcast Episode 2: The 'Irish Giant' of Exploration

Nicknamed ‘The Irish Giant’, Tom Crean was a remarkable explorer, whose Antarctic career began back on Discovery in 1901, but whose stories have been largely untold. His bravery and adversity on three of the most important Polar expeditions of the Golden Age of Exploration inspired Aidan Dooley’s one-man show, Tom Crean: Antarctic Explorer, which has received praise from The New York Times, Variety, and The Guardian to name a few. Today’s episode features an evocative interview between Kim from Dundee Heritage Trust and Aidan Dooley, recorded (naturally) in the Mess Deck of RRS Discovery in October 2024, on the eve of a sold-out performance of Tom Crean: Antarctic Explorer - in its 23rd year. -- The Blizzard Podcast invites explorers and enthusiasts young and old behind-the-scenes aboard this historic ship.

Discovery Point is home to the RRS Discovery; the first purpose-built scientific research vessel in the UK, and the last remaining three-masted wooden ship of its kind. Constructed in less than 12 months, RRS Discovery sailed to Antarctica in 1901 under the command of Robert Falcon Scott. It would return to the Antarctic on two subsequent voyages, in a career that spanned the globe.
