  • Remarkable variety, incredible depth

    As a new student of Paragliding, I find these podcasts to provide an amazing variety of topics covered and Gavin & his guests delve in with sophistication & detail. I’ve learned much beyond what I could have previously ever imagined. And excellent production, editing & audio quality. Worth ‘the buck a show’ I’m donating.

    Thx, Gavin for this labor of love. Will Johnson, Port Angeles, WA
