Global Explorers Elspeth Beard & Jacqui Furneaux

Author: Paramex Digital April 18, 2022 Duration: 1:25:56

Every podcast we record is noteworthy for its own reason, but every so often, we hit the record button and what follows is something extra-extra special. This week's Driven Chat Podcast is absolutely definitely 'extra-extra special.


Elspeth Beard and Jacqui Furneaux have both embarked on international adventures on two wheels. Elspeth circumnavigated the world as a young 23-year-old on her BMW, crossing continents, exploring unknown territories and facing multiple challenges along the way. Jacqui didn't embark on her journey until a little later in life, however, the adventure was ambitious for many different reasons. Jacqui purchased a Royal Enfield motorcycle in India and rode it home, back to the UK. 


In this conversation hosted by John Marcar and Amy Shore, we take a deep dive into the brains and ambition of two frankly inspiring individuals. Both Elspeth and Jacqui share details of the good, the bad and the ugly of their travels and explain how their outlook on life transformed following the adventures.

For a while, the drivenchat podcast served as the weekly audio companion to the Driven platform, wrapping up the automotive world into candid conversations. Each episode paired the insights of a special guest from across the industry with the distinct perspectives of its three hosts. Listeners heard automotive writer, producer, and presenter John Marcar alongside automotive and lifestyle photographer Amy Heynes, with analysis from a racing driver and vehicle dynamics expert. This combination meant discussions naturally flowed from technical deep-dives into engineering and performance to the broader culture and style surrounding cars, all grounded in genuine expertise. The podcast has since concluded its run, with new episodes continuing under the refreshed banner of The Driven Podcast. The existing library of drivenchat episodes remains a compelling archive, capturing specific moments and voices from the motoring scene through relaxed yet informed dialogue. It was a show where passion for cars was the starting point, not the entire destination, often veering into the personal stories and unexpected tangents that make the automotive community so diverse. Produced by Paramex Digital, the series sits within the leisure and automotive categories, offering a backstage pass to the people who design, drive, photograph, and obsess over vehicles of all kinds.
