  • Very relatable

    I just listened to the first episode about mountain climbing and its dangers. I`m no mountain climber but as an athlete, i completely relate. It also helps the listener get a better understanding of some of the forces that drive them to play their sport regardless of the difficulties or the risks along the way.
