  • More than just adventures

    The Adventure Podcast sets the gold standard for what a podcast should be: it consistently delivers brilliant content from fascinating people, and always gives you something unexpected. Matt’s interview style gives his guests the time and space to really open up, so you see a side of them you never would when reading about them in an article or watching them on TV. I came to this series quite late, but have gone back and listened to the entire back-catalogue, and now consider this podcast a frie... more

  • Inspiring

    Thank you Matt for doing these wonderful interviews. I absolutely love that the ethos is not one of “Wow look at me, I went further/higher/faster and conquered x/y/z challenge”. Instead I’m really made to think about our precious planet and how best to explore it.

    I just listened to your conversation with Emma Linford. What an amazing person. Fabulous interview. There is so much there to reflect on. I’m planning to start ML training in 2025 and now I feel determined to take on board during m... more

  • Best episode yet, and there are many amazing ones

    Matt, fabulous conversation in the episode “ The Far Reaches, our guest is Emma Linford”.

    I don’t normally leave reviews but your comment about a bad review in the past prompted me to write this.

    So thought provoking and inspiring and and and and… please pass on to Emma also. She has inspired me to go even further on my journey towards her path.

    Thank you both. Thank you so much.
