“Having survived COVID-19 isolation, winter has well and truly set in and these sailing stories have been a fantastic respite (or excuse) from outdoor chores and the cold.
“Brave or stupid” (season 1) provides a wonderful mix of inspiration, interesting stories and informative tips.

“I don’t think I’ve ever written a review before, but Brave or Stupid got me to do it.
I am absolutely enthralled with this story. It’s so well written and performed that I needed to share my joy.
If you enjoy audio books this is an amazing podcast.”

“I really enjoyed the narration and story of season one. I was really looking forward to the second season, but just cannot get through the first episode. I am not finding the story engaging. Maybe it is also the narrators accent, just my two cents. I’m hoping for a better third season, best of luck.”

“As just starting my career in sailing, this is a great podcast to tune in to while sanding and painting the hull. I’ve only just started the podcast (#10 Brave or Stupid). Such great story telling and the reader has an amazing voice for it. I hope this continues for the long run. Cheers!”

“I am currently thoroughly enjoying season 1. The audio book is very entertaining and well narrated. The story is well balanced (i.e. not too technical on the sailing part), I think that sailors and city-dwellers will appreciate it just the same. Thank you, 59 North, for publishing great content!...”Read full review »

“This second season is not as good as the first one. The accent from the author makes it hard to understand what he is reading. It’s still a great story thoe. But I would recommend getting someone to read next time that is a little bit easier to understand.”
