  • Excellent fun listening

    Really varied and interesting content. Well researched and presented with tasteful understated advertising ( I think I’ll buy a mosquito repellent hoodie! ). Phoebe is a breath of fresh podcasting air.

  • Travel, Wild Sleeping

    One of my favourite travel podcasts, Phoebe has a wonderful way with words and can transport you to a far off country or just to a dark night, mid micro adventure in Wintery Britain. Love it!

  • Great travels whilst in lockdown

    The podcasts were recommended by “The Guardian” recently. Phoebe’s energy, curiosity and empathy come across so well on the podcasts. Thanks so much for bringing such clarity and vision to my travels whilst not leaving home, (unless I’m out with my dog and my AirPods).

    Very many thanks. Great work. Keep it up.

  • Can't hear it

    It might be a good podcast but I'll never know because the level is too low. Even on full volume I can't hear it over every-day city noise like traffic. I sometimes plug my iPhone into the kitchen radio and, with the kitchen door open, I can listen to pocasts while I'm in the garden. With this podcast I can't even hear it over the noise of the washing up, never mind while outside. I don't have this problem with any other podcasts.

  • Brilliant listening

    What a gem, Phoebe helps us to be travellers and adventurous wherever we are. Really engaging and fun to listen to, I particularly like her travel tips and introducing us to forgotten female explorers from the past.

Undercurrents
Q: What sparked the collaboration between divers and fishermen in Okinawa?
A shift from viewing divers as poachers to recognizing the mutual benefits of cleaning the ocean, leading to stronger community bonds and joint conservation work.
The Milk Run
Q: What impact has Tough Girl had on female role models in adventure and sport?
Sarah Williams emphasizes the rise of women's visibility due to social media, communities like the Tough Girl Tribe, and a breaking down of gatekeeping in media, allowing women to share experiences, training insights, and inspiration widely.
The Milk Run
Q: How has living in Orkney influenced your writing and use of plants in your work?
She describes how the environment informs her books, with a focus on elemental connections, seasonal rhythms, and Orcadian plant names that carry stories and practical knowledge about growth and place.
The Milk Run
Q: What drew you to Orkney, and how did you end up living there?
Victoria Bennett explains a long, personal journey driven by a visceral connection to the land's wildness and its ability to reflect grief and resilience, which over time led her to relocate to Orkney in 2022 and make writing and gardening central to her life there.
Wayward Wanderings
Q: What message do you hope people will take from your book?
I want readers to feel recognized in their struggles, finding hope and inspiration to embrace adventure, healing, and growth, especially as they navigate midlife changes.
