Stuart Heritage, Dee Caffari and Neil McCormick discuss heart, courage and brains.

Dominic Arkwright and guests Dee Caffari, Neil McCormick and Stuart Heritage discuss heart, courage and brains. From 2011.

Follow the Yellow Brick Road - three writers discuss heart, courage and brains. 

Dominic Arkwright welcomes Guardian blogger Stuart Heritage, Yachtswoman Dee Caffari and journalist Neil McCormick.

Stuart hates personal contact so much he moved to South Korea where they're "not huggers. They're not really hand-shakers. They're not even that fond of eye contact, the travel guide said. Brilliant."

Dee Caffari has solo circumnavigated the globe, braving icebergs in the Southern Ocean along the way: "We surf down huge waves on the edge of control at breakneck speeds - any collision would be the end of the race. Rescue is often days away and our closest chance of survival is a fellow competitor."

Neil talks about how intelligence may be over-rated and that sometimes it's better just to let your mind make itself up.

Producer: Toby Field

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in November 2011.
