Listening to podcasts is a great way to improve your skills, knowledge and become inspired. I listen to many podcasts, but on the Adventure Geek website, you will find a list of podcasts that cover a whole range of topics to do with the outdoors, mindfulness and self-development.
I will add the podcasts to the site over a few weeks, so keep an eye out for my latest find.

My Review
What a brilliant podcast! I stumbled across this podcast on the iTunes store and I have since downloaded all of the episodes (yes, over 400 of them) and I am slowly working my way through them (backwards!). It is refreshing to hear a UK voice, and such a professional, clear speaking voice. The topics are interesting and varied. I laughed out loud when Bob and his mate cooked a 3 course Christmas lunch from their 2 man tent in gale force winds – yes, including a roast turkey with all the trimmings. The interviews are great and I loved the visits to the various expos and shows throughout the world. If you are into hiking or the outdoors then this should be top of your list! Well done to Bob for an excellent production.
