    I wrote a review complaining about the ridiculous amount of advertisements and a complaint that the content has slid downhill. I think you have e listened Uncle Josh! Your show is back up to where it used to be! Interesting and compelling content with a reasonable amount of commercial interruptions.

    Thanks for making this such a great show!

  • Nice for walks and bike rides

    I found this while searching for something about camping to scare me out of an upcoming solo hike/camp trip.

    Enjoyed everything except the background of traffic and cars and trucks- I kept looking for cars coming up behind me…
