A truly great podcast! Keep it up!!!
Enjoy the content. Consider leveling out the dynamics for better listening experience.
Your inaugural episode with Michael Palmer was epic! I heard of his first Yosemite Half Dome climb over a camp fire in the Minnesota BWCA wilderness. He is definitely a stud! Still canât believe he was up for 40+ hours and still got to class at Cal Poly. Awesome to know that he is still at it in NC now.
Keep up the good work with the podcast - you guys are rock stars đިâď¸!
