Trench Talk - Walking the Western Front with Briana Gervat

Send us a text Welcome to this latest episode of Trench Talk! Today I sit and talk with Briana Gervat, an author and photographer who, in the aftermath of the COVID lockdown, decided to connect with history and walk the length of the Western Front. She documented her journey in a book, There Will Come Soft Rains, and in this wide-ranging discussion, we talk about her deeply spiritual journey across all 450 miles of the old front line. You can buy a copy of the book here https://amzn.eu/d/4B8N...
