  • The one that stays

    Over the years, I have listened to several podcasts of all sorts. And even though many of them have been really, really good, the Adventure Podcasts stands out. It is so much more than just about adventures. I had to wind back countless times because there is so much depth in most of the conversations, that I didn’t want to miss any word.

    These are the type of conversations where you don’t just go on with the next episode because you need to digest and think about the things you have heard.

  • So worth your time

    So many helpful and insightful conversations that are worth listening to and paying attention to. Matt interviews people that others interview, but I think gets completely different results, which are much deeper and impactful.

  • 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
