  • DB climber, for sure

    Yikes; what a POS the main character of Dirtbag Climber is. Another excellent execution of storytelling by CBC podcasts. I’ve listened to every season and Outlaw Oceans is my absolute favorite; it’s a profoundly sobering piece of radio journalism. Keep up the good work.
