Pete joins David to discuss the recently published Hadrian's Wall: A Journey Through Time, which features many of his photographs. He talks about how he came to archaeology via volunteering at sites such as Vindolanda, how  posting his photos of Roman archaeology to Twitter has generated a significant following across the globe, and advice he'd give to anyone wanting to get out and photograph heritage sites. He also reflects on how the media don't always present a story about heritage in the way they perhaps should, as Pete found when some of his own photographs showing damage to the Wall went viral.
