“I have been following the Firn Line since it’s inception. I used to listen in for stories of mountain adventures and stories from the athletes involved.
Recently, I have been left wondering what the point of many of these podcasts are. Evan seems to be booking no-name climbers (which is great) but the stories of these athletes is, most of the time, boring, dull and pointless. I am left wanting much more.
Several recent climbers he has had share very mediocre stories of accomplishments that are quite achievable by the average climber. I by no means intend to thwart these experiences, but do question the point of having these people on the podcast. Around the campfire is one thing, but this is a professional podcast. I lose interest and wonder why I’M not on the Firn Line, lol. It’s all good, just wanted to express my concern for a beloved podcast. Is there an issue getting people to interview? I mean the last guy went on for an hour talking about climbing around Boulder, doing Denali, and a Yosemite big wall..... why am I listening to this person? I do like to listen to everyones story, but I put on podcasts to say, “wow!” Not, “why?”
I am not getting anything from these anymore.”
