  • Matt’s a true modern explorer!

    I absolutely love Matt’s podcasts. Many of them are just stream of consciousness style where he talks about what’s going on with the research foundation he founded, the Ocean Research Project, or whatever adventure he is currently on. He’s an interesting guy overflowing with knowledge who casually and conversationally shares his life with his listeners.

  • Extemporaneous Rambling

    No preparation, no editing. Rarely touches on single-handed sailing, but that may have changed. Podcast may be improving.

  • Upcoming Trip

    Always entertaining. You do best when interviewed by someone they get all the little details instead of a quick basic description. You know a lot so it’s interesting to hear. Be sure to take starling on your next adventure. If you do many people will be able to follow yo and that creates more interest ( live Phoenix) which means $$$$$ . We want to follow you as you go along.

  • Almost a great show

    If Matt can leave his slant of liberal Democrat views out this could be a great show. Nice level voice, entertaining topics with the long format show make for a recipe for success. Good luck Matt

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Single-Handed Ep# 304
Q: How do you plan to handle the ice conditions and permits north of Russia?
The plan relies on a mix of official permits, real-time ice charts, and close communication with Russian authorities, with contingencies to delay or reroute based on ice and weather; in practice, this means daily Moscow communications, honest risk assessment, and readiness to abandon or delay the Arctic leg if required.
Single-Handed Ep 295
Q: What keeps you motivated to explore again after everything you've accomplished?
There is something inside me that needs exploration and adventure; it makes me feel alive.
Single-Handed Ep 295
Q: What do you want people to know if something happens to you on this trip?
I want people to pursue their goals and dreams, and not dwell on my situation.
