  • East by God
    Great discussions- well produced
    Jim Martin has brought together a great group of knowledgeable and experienced riders who have great stories to share. Even if I’m not interested in the weeks topic I gain riding knowledge or ideas for future trips. A necessary show for anyone who rides!
  • Runnersts
    Wonderful show!
    I very much enjoy listening to this unique group of people share their knowledge and experiences. Thank you all for sharing and caring about all of us adventure riders. 😁
  • naico
    Best Ever
    Tons of information and a great show.
  • Visen
    Adventures in geriatric memories
    Frankly, it feels like listening to conversations at an English retirement home while having tea and crumpets. There’s even group games/trivia in some episodes. Maybe this caters to a certain demographics, but not for me. Boring.
  • On 2 Wheels
    Fun to listen to
    Entertaining podcasts with lots of good tips tricks and information.
  • RannyL
    Adventure Motorcycle Encouragement
    Great information long time listener, my wife rides along and listen. We really enjoy two up riding. I have noticed she is engaged and ask questions about comments made by the host and guest. I have learned a lot and can’t wait for the next episode. Thank you!!!!
  • BDeer808
    A Never Miss Roundtable Conversation!
    This is one of my favorite podcasts! This roundtable of very accomplished worldly travelers drop bits of information in a highly entertaining, light conversation each month. Simply love it!
  • Gibbers in SC
    Love this Podcast
    Recently found this and have already learned so much.
  • SemperFiVMI88
    Woke Motorcycling...Really?
    Please keep the wokeness out of motorcycle discussions. We can listen to a thousand podcasts dealing with feminism, racisms, x-ism, etc. People listen to motorcycle podcasts to get away from all of that garbage. No need to drag it into your show.
  • glzphoto
    Love the cast
    When I say cast I mean the characters who tell their stories. Love that Michelle is on, I also enjoyed her visit on the misfits.
  • Bw123..
    Great show
    Great podcast. Top notch personalities and content. I do miss Graham.
  • nailgun nels
    Excellent
    Long time listener. Great panel, humorous with loads of information, always look forward to the next episode. Sure miss Graham.
  • chiliwacker
    Boomer Rider Radio
    Well produced with informative and often entertaining panelists, but the lack of diversity is glaring. Every show boils down to six mostly identical takes on the issue of the day. Can we get some different perspectives please? Wouldn't it be interesting to hear from a rider younger than 55? Wouldn't it useful to have a rider on from Latin America or Asia or Africa? Isn't it possible that a POC rider has had some different experiences from you all? Or is adventure riding only for white retirees?
  • Johnwag
    Great panel of people
    Every month there's conversations and stories about motorcycling that I really enjoy, and the production quality is fantastic and easy to listen to as well. It's a round-table format of very experienced motorcycle travelers that bring a lot to the table. I've gone back and listened to a lot of older episodes as well, and enjoy and learn from every one of them.
  • GillihanIndiana
    Inspired.
    I just can’t get enough. So entertaining and it inspired me to get off work and get to riding!! Take care.

    ARR Raw
    If I could only listen to one podcast for the rest of my days this would be it. I could listen to this group talk for weeks! Thanks so much for the content guys, keep it up.
  • daytonthemunk
    Really enjoy the content
    Love the bantering between the host and his guests as well as the quality of content! So much good information from people who have DONE it! Thank you so much for the quality podcast/show!
  • Brannaka
    The best motorcycle forum
    I have grown to love these people that Jim interviews each month. I have been listening for years. If you are a motorcycle traveler or want to be listen each month and get inspired. Great advise from wonderful people. Also very entertaining and funny at times. Enjoy
  • ibaironman
    New to the Adventure
    I am new to riding and found this podcast exciting and encouraging. You are dispelling many of the myths I’ve heard about traveling abroad. I just got my passport and am ready to start my adventure
  • DK adv

  • Bryan Bumstead
    The greatest podcast for the adventure riding enthusiast
    Downloaded a episode for information, subscribed for the stories! Extremely well produced. The wealth of knowledge and amazing stories from Jim, Sam, Grant, Graham, Shirley and Brian each month not only entertains me, but it has inspired me to get out and have my own adventures. Bravo to everyone on the podcast and those behind the scenes putting this out every month!
  • RushFreak2112
    Great show by amazing people
    I love listening to this group discuss life, adventures and the wonders of the world. I know that I am a better person because of this show. Please support them.
  • Bulanguero
    Learning from the Experts!
    Title says it all...
  • Howdager
    Fun
    This is a nice accompaniment to Adventure Rider Radio. While each podcast has a topic, or three, the conversations meander and are truly entertaining.
  • Crawford645
    Travel
    Would y’all talk about countries that drive on the “wrong” side of the road and traveling in countries the street signs in language you can’t read.
  • RenaissanceMan959
    Smart and informative
    This is an excellent podcast! Really clean and professional production, relevant topics and smart, knowledgeable guests... Jim and Elizabeth do a great job of choosing topics and guests that inspire and motivate me to get out and experience the world of adventure touring! Even the music is fresh and interesting! If you like bikes, check this out - you won’t be disappointed!

    Episode 20
    In episode 20 there was a discussion about methods sharing one's medical and family contact information in an emergency. All the methods spoke about in the show were good. Another method available is Road ID. All your information is stored on the Road ID website and is accessible by phone or computer/mobile device. It cam in handy for my wife and I when we were robbed in Squamish, British Columbia. We were able to access our passport information after they were taken. As for emergency contacts, the privacy laws (HIPAA in the U.S.) restrict the sharing of patient information. As for making medical decisions the medical community highly prefers the next of kin to take on that responsibility. Enjoying the show.
  • Nene3924

  • WayTooMuchHutch
    Great show

  • Gizmodogdon
    Great conversations!
    Where else would you get a group of experienced world travelers gathered by Internet into one "room" to share their thoughts and views on so many interesting topics?
  • Jmoscosopantoja
    Grandioso show en vivo
    Gracias Jim por reunir a este grandioso grupo. Súper entretenido. Saludos desde Bolivia.
  • BeameronaBeemer
    It's like having beers around a camp fire with friends
    This show reminds me of going to rallies, sitting around the campfire telling stories, lies and sharing a good single malt scotch.
  • luvmyklr
