The Leader podcast: The UK’s obsession with ancestry stories

The UK’s obsession with history and more specifically with ancestry remains strong.

This comes just in time for a brand new series of the ITV hit show DNA Journey, which starts next week.

Series 3 of the show will feature celebrities going on a road trip around the world to discover their own family history.

The Leader podcast spoke with Brad Argent, Senior Director of International Programming at Ancestry, who works on the show.

We ask him what to expect from series 3, how has DNA technology improved since series 1, and its potential further uses in the future.
