“Thoughtful and relatable convos mixed with fresh perspectives and deep knowledge of the content. Alex is climbing’s gold and the team clearly put in tons of work to curate and elevate each story. One of two pods that I don’t mind listening to the ads.”

“Preferiría no tener que escuchar sobre competiciones. Pero el programa hace buen trabajo cuando habla de la historia de la escalada. Un poco triste en lo que la cultura de la escalada se ha convertido. Ha perdido su lado contestatario y ha hecho alianza con la cultura corporativa. Esto se ve...”Read full review »

“3 year climber, longtime listener, and big fan. I started reading Into Thin Air the other day, and realized that Krakauer was a pretty impressive climber as well as a talented storyteller. I don’t even have an idea what you might talk about, just that it would probably be good. Even if you don’t,...”Read full review »

“Not a climber but love the stories and heartfelt experiences- just wish that some of the climbing terminology could be explained as the stories are unfolding i.e. pitch numbers, sending it, projecting etc”

“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 »

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.

I think any climber (or any curious...”Read full review »

“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.”

“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.”
