    Man, do I love listening to this. I think I’ve listened to 60-80 episodes. Mr. Martin is always engaging and asks relevant questions of his guests. Big fan of Deep Trouble and of any Smout appearance. Thanks for the entertainment and education!

    Found this a couple of years ago and now never miss an episode. I have no idea how anybody finds the time to put into this quality of a podcast EVERY week. Great balance of real world experiences and instructional tips. Find it massively improves my riding and adventuring just hearing all this content.
