Press & Rights
Interviews are easy to arrange. Rights are not. Here is how both work.
Media Bio
Use it as written.
Karl Bushby has reached Britain after swimming the English Channel. The Goliath Expedition continues through England toward Hull.
Karl Bushby set out from southern South America in 1998 under two rules: no transport to advance, and no going home until the walk was done. He has kept both for nearly three decades, through closed borders, hard winters, and years when the route barely moved. On 5 October 2026, he reached Shakespeare Beach near Dover after swimming the English Channel. Approximately 400 km remained to Hull at the landing. The expedition continues until he reaches his mother's home there.

- Science literacy after the walk
Podcast Fit
Karl says yes to good rooms and good questions. Long-form suits him best: the story does not compress well, and the strongest material lives in the quiet years that never made headlines. Pitch the angle and the audience, and we will find the right window.
