OT: The Podcast2 Sep 2021

Chatting with mountaineering legend Reinhold Messner for Montblanc, plus Beyonce, Jay-Z and Diddy's take on Richard Mille

If you know anything about climbing mountains, you know Reinhold Messner. The first man to climb Everest solo, Messner popularised the alpine style of climbing. Recently he's collaborated with Montblanc to celebrate his solo crossing of the Gobi Desert. Felix talks to him about adventure, the environment and the importance of failure.

Beyond that, we find out why Beyonce, Jay-Z and Diddy have been in the luxury headlines and why Kurono Tokyo got caught up in Instagram drama. Felix spends some time with Piaget; Andy gets excited about a rice cooker and catches up on a grunty Henry Cavill in The Witcher.
