Summary

The Drake Shake is a polar podcast hosted by Antarctic expedition guide Neill Drake. After more than a decade guiding in Antarctica and over a thousand days spent on the ice, Neill brings real world experience straight to the mic. This show is for anyone dreaming about Antarctica, actively planning a trip, or just curious about what it is really like at the bottom of the world. We talk about how to choose the right voyage, what to pack, what the Drake Passage is actually like, and what surprises people most when they finally step onto the continent. Along the way, Neill is joined by fellow guides and industry insiders who share honest stories, practical advice, and the answers to the questions travelers ask every single day. The Drake Shake is brought to you by Antarctica Travel Group and LetsGoPolar.com. If Antarctica is on your radar, this is where you start.
