Thank you Matt for doing these wonderful interviews. I absolutely love that the ethos is not one of “Wow look at me, I went further/higher/faster and conquered x/y/z challenge”. Instead I’m really made to think about our precious planet and how best to explore it. I just listened to your...Read full review »

Matt, fabulous conversation in the episode “ The Far Reaches, our guest is Emma Linford”. I don’t normally leave reviews but your comment about a bad review in the past prompted me to write this. So thought provoking and inspiring and and and and… please pass on to Emma also. She has inspired...Read full review »

I’ve been a huge fan of the podcast for many years and listened to over 100 episode. However I feel like the content has shifted away significantly from the content of the earlier episodes with there now being less stories of big inspiring adventures and more of a focus of social issues which has...Read full review »

I have listened to my fair share of travel and adventure podcasts, but this show is something different. Matt engages with his guests in such a genuine manner and asks truly thoughtful questions to people that have done truly remarkable things. The show is extremely inspiring.

I have only just found this podcast and I am already hooked. The first one was the Anna Mcnuff episode. I have read most of her books so was interested in learning more about her and the podcast did not disappoint. It is obvious that the host has a brilliant understanding of what it’s like to be...Read full review »

Worth a listen
NinaParker via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/07/23
Matt has a probing yet laid-back approach to teasing deep seated information, feelings and thoughts from his guests. The depth of information regarding travel around our incredible planet, what this uncovers, where it’s heading and what we can do is pretty much unrivalled. This is a very...Read full review »

Engaging host with consistently excellent guests. Love the blend of adventure, relationships with nature, exploration with big arm-chair philosophy questions about life, meaning, and purpose. Favorite podcast by far.
Orton5220 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/31/23
Keep up the great work! Thanks for the fantastic stories about conservation and adventure. Amazing.
Rivermanek via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/16/23
I really enjoy hearing about the various guest you have on the show. For me what stands out is the style of interviewing you have. It is not sensational or aggressive. Where you ask questions, but you let the person tell their story. Brilliant.
MIRN1981 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/24/23
Always excellent, but this episode with Alex was exceptional. Right up there with the Emily Chappell & Alishba ones as the most memorable. Please keep up with the “woke” nonsense. Definitely a badge of honour and you know you are getting it right.

I used to really enjoy this podcast, but I am SO disappointed that it is facilitating greenwashing taking place by being sponsored by BA and promoting flying and the destruction of the planet when so many of the adventures and adventurers it features are all about loving and safeguarding the...Read full review »

I’m a female listener in the states and have been subscribed to the podcast from the beginning (back when it was Terra Incognita). I love this podcast and recommend it to everyone. Not only is the storytelling amazing, but I also find it rather calming. Matt Pycroft does a wonderful job guiding...Read full review »

Fantastic, inspiring, brave and deep.
Koobals via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/11/23
Informative, personal, exciting, inspiring and eye opening. I’ve listened to most of the episodes more than once and try and share them with whoever will listen.
Skoobz7 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/09/23
A easy listening informative podcast owing to the varied nature of the guests Matt has on these podcast. Something for everyone from the armchair adventurer to those that achieve the highest adventures.
MountainCole via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/05/23
A fantastic podcast. Really refreshing and interesting interviews with a variety of adventure and adventure sports people. This podcast has reignited my interest in adventure, big or small.

Yes
Kind host
Mcbassman90 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/29/22
A wonderful array of fascinating, moving and thought provoking discussions. Really worth listening too if you have even just a single adventurous bone in your body. Enjoy!
JimmyFrog via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 08/27/22
The Adventure Podcast has changed my life. It’s rare that I can sit and take in a podcast usually due to the host, but Matt is excellent at guiding and navigating the genuinely interesting conversation with his guests. He lets them tell their stories or share their views in a completely...Read full review »
Berrance via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/23/22
What I love about these podcasts is the variety. Adventure is subjective so I love hearing the diverse ways people embrace that. Matt remains focused on the person in question, unlike so many other interviewers who can’t help but shimmy in the spotlight. It’s my go to because I find it so...Read full review »

Don’t usually review, but Matt Pycroft and team have done something exceptional. I began listening for the thoughtful discourse with adventurers like Saunders and Anker and Cool, but the depth of discussion far exceeds adventure and is so often philosophical. While certainly entertaining, this...Read full review »

I’ve enjoyed this podcast and always learn life lessons from the interviews. Very well done, Matt does a great job on the interviews, thank you!
Susan little via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/18/22
Wow, just wow. I am not an explorer, climber or what one might call an adventurer AND I love these podcasts more than anything else out there. Matt Pycroft, the host, really listens to his guests, who are always fascinating and he makes them more so by encouraging them to open up and allows the...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a while now and with lots going on in life it is an hour or so of escaping and inspiring me into all sorts, after listening my brain is generally buzzing with ideas and plans for things that’s for sure! The calming laid back interview type approach Matt has...Read full review »

This is a comment not just about the Bonnington episode but all the episodes. The selection of guests is great - not just sport or exploration adventurers but also farmers etc. The interviewer (Matt) knows how to be quiet, and asks great questions. He doesn’t allow the taciturn types to respond...Read full review »

Incredible guest and themes, very insightful and inspirational.
Alafv via Apple Podcasts · Portugal · 04/10/22
Always fascinating interviews. Even though I may not have herd of the person or subject the information is so good that I invariably research the person or subject further. The discussion is well paced with relavent questions and accurate responses. I always look forward to hearing the next...Read full review »

Each episode I think I know what is going to be said and every episode I am happily surprised! Every adventurer is so inspiring in their own way, but the Gail Muller episode hit me different, what an incredible feat of human resilience! More please of everything!!
Lucy_Harris8 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/01/22
Matt manages to get folks who have done some extraordinary things in the outdoor world. 90% of the time I am blown away by the guests achievements. Awesome work, thanks for the effort Matt.
kpchouvagh via Apple Podcasts · Kenya · 03/25/22
Matt has a great way of getting the most out of his guests . He believes - and few podcast hosts do - that the show is not all about the presenter . The guest is there for a reason and has a take to tell I always feel Matt had a way of helping others open up and share and sometime the shortest...Read full review »

The host finds unique individuals to speak with and consistently asks the exact questions I have in mind.
SeeingTrails via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/23/22
I’m in the states and I really enjoyed learning about the British adventure world from the background lens. My favorite part of this podcast is the intro and exit Melody.
Colby La via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/22
Absolutely love listening to these interviews with a great host who has the talent to ask in depth questions and for the interviewee to respond. Really helped through the last long two years. Thank you.
Ifonlyicouldreadit via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/20/22
Really enjoy this podcast and sidetracked magazine too. Subscribed to both! Matt has an incredible interview style. He rarely speaks and just lets his guests talk, which is brilliant. When he does, his questions are relevant and incisive and challenging. Very few interviewers are this good....Read full review »

Really fascinating guests and inspiring conversations. I love listening to bring a bit of adventure into my life. My only criticism is that I find it odd that whilst guests often talk about the fragility of the earth and climate change, this podcast contains adverts for an airline…
Oliver10001 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/13/21
This has to be the most inspiring story I have ever heard. Gail tells her story generously and l will never moan about the hardships I have to deal with.
Rabens via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 09/29/21
Such a good podcast. Really interesting conversations, often about topics I wouldn’t have thought I would be interested in. Everyone I’ve recommended it to loves it as well. Thanks Matt and the team
bcsco via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/14/21
An excellent and varied podcast. The host, Matt, is natural and respectful, always allowing the guest talk without interruption. Calm and inspiring.
Taddac via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/08/21
Update - I’ve just listened to the new isolation specials while I’m in lockdown and loved them all. Inspiring, reassuring, full of humility. Loved them. I’m absolutely loving these conversations. Matt has a gift for quiet listening and the guests are fab. I’m just working my way through them one...Read full review »
