Distracting voice and music

Great guests, but why does the host have to use that “surfer dude” voice?! Also, the music is so intense it’s hard to hear what’s being said. Probably won’t follow this one. Too bad. Some great adventure stories.

Vocal Fry

Just listened to the Jimmy Chin episode. Every time the host spoke with that low, seemingly intentional vocal fry, I wanted to jump off a cliff. I hate to criticize someone for this but the nature of this form of media emphasizes vocal qualities.

Cheers to Great Adventures!

Awesome and insightful interviews from Charles. It is awesome to hear stories and anecdotes from guys that live the life, instead of the usual slow pitch questions from talk shows. Great guests, great content and a great interviewer!

Very insightful

Loved it! Straight to the point conversations, interesting stories. Allows you to really peek into the inner core of the interviewee, the method to their madness so to speak. Very insightful and conversational at the same time. Highly recommend this podcast.

Great Hidden Travel Tips

Love the conversational style interviews about topics these people might not otherwise discuss, and hearing details of people’s fav spots to travel. Michael Stahl-David makes me want to head to Colombia, and Nigel Barker’s fav deserted beaches sound well worth a look.

Refreshingly real

Love this new series of real people doing real things (albeit extraordinary) and not afraid to talk about their failures as well as their glory. Ripping off the hand rail of the @$5B Hubble Telescope...nicely done Mike! Great interview Charles!
