“I look forward to listening to this show every time I commute. Haven’t listened to an episode yet that wasn’t entertaining and informative. Thank you for taking away the monotony of some of the duller moments in life and resparking my interest in climbing.”

“I am not a climber. I am aware Alex Honold was famous, but other than that not especially interested in climbing. But this podcast features great storytelling. It’s thoughtful, and often funny. It reminds me of This American Life or something. It’s just enjoyable to be wrapped up in these...”Read full review »

“I was expecting great climbing knowledge and insight, but I’ve been very impressed by the storytelling, the editing and the insightful questions and conversations. Even journalistic or editorial would be a good way to describe it. I can’t get enough. Can we get another season soon, please? What...”Read full review »

“Didn't expect this podcast to be this good. Didn't expect Alex Honnold to be such a good story teller and host, didn't expect him to be surrounded by so many great and inspiring people, didn't expect such good production values. 5/5”Read full review »

“Dope Lake what a great story. Good description of the times and people’s mind set in the late ‘70’s.
I learned of the story many years ago when my husband told me about it as he was flying a helicopter for the NPS and was involved with the clean up and salvage operations
Very well done, thanx”

“I thoroughly enjoy Honnold’s infectious and inclusive enthusiasm for climbing. My favorite episodes are about the history of climbing, like the battle over sport climbing in the US or the unique ethos of British trad. It has great production/editing, too. I think any climber (or any curious...”Read full review »

“I love the touch down in climbing history as well as reports from the Olympics. Well produced with good clear sound and good dialogue. Rated by trad/alpine climber who’s been active since 1984.
Keep it coming

“As good a listen as there is. Alex and Will talking personally and intelligently about risks. Should be mandatory listening before a journalist can use word “thrill-seeker” about climbing or paragliding,”

“As a non-climber but fan of climbers in general and Alex in particular, I really enjoy this podcast. I thought season 3 was absolutely fascinating in the deep dive about risk. The range of guests is pretty fantastic. I give it 4 stars because the sound levels on various guests can be all over the...”Read full review »

“Love Alexs lighthearted tone and the different guests but dear god the musical transition quips are awful, the harsh piano bit after an ad stabs me in the heart and ears. Other than that love this stuff, as a new climber I’ve learned a lot”

“Unfortunately the podcast is pretty mediocre. Too much dubbed over narration. I couldn’t even make it through 15 minutes. It definitely has potential as this sport has a lot of good topics and folks to talk about. The format just needs to be done alittle more professionally.”

“No by now I will not buy a whoop or athletic greens and honestly getting hammered on commercials every 5 minutes of the podcast does ruin the quality and the fun of it….I understand the need to monetize it but the number of commercials is extreme in relation to the duration”

“Think the dramatic NPResque format does not fit with Alex’s interview style and distracts from the story telling and interviews. All of the narration and background info interruptions are more distracting than helpful and makes episodes feel very piecey and disjointed. Came here for an alex...”Read full review »

“I am a non-climber due to other pursuits being stronger than my curiosity of climbing but climbing has always catched my eue from looking a man in a magazine up in the air due to their own force of nature to climb the wall. This feeds me and my adrenaline, it gives me the knowledge or the imagery...”Read full review »

“Season 1 was so entertaining and educational! Season 2 has been the opposite. Bring back legendary tales and important historical events in the world of climbing! I thought that was supposed to be what the show was about: stories told around the campfire kind of thing.”
