Ugh
Usually a decent pod but the anak episode really took a turn and I had to turn it off. Leave religion to the religious podcasters please

I’ve been climbing for 15 years. My wife and I had our second baby 6 months ago and I (understandably) fell off of my climbing focus. To get back into it this, I needed something that was equal parts climbing psych and understanding of the mental and emotional strain that comes from it. Steven is...Read full review »

really hope this fails and no one pays. maybe make money by ads like everyone else, and/or have a second income like most of your listeners - who work full time and climb as a hobby.

I love the conversations in this podcast brought to life by the very conscientious, caring and curious host. They are not only deep and sometimes nerdy dives into climbing, they are beautifully open conversations about why we do what we do and who we are as humans….through the lens of climbers.

Amazing tips from the pros, not just sport but also the human experience. Just love the climbing scene

The was once the best climbing podcast I had come across. It used to have Good mix of topics. Excellent production/audio. Mainly I enjoyed the positive tone, grateful approach, lack of political commentary (which I hear too much of in other podcasts) and consistency. It was Good stuff! ...Read full review »

I found Magnus Midtbø on youtube and I love him and his funny YouTubes when he pretends he is a new rock climber, his Alex H youtube, his girlfriend and their travels, his sister, the military challenged, etc all a blast! I am vegan and love athletic endeavors and Magnus's physique amazing.Read full review »

The pod is overall highly enjoyable and interesting with great guests. However to me the conversations can feel a little one sided (guest does all the talking) and the only feedback from the host is “that’s interesting” or “that resonates with me”. Just a minor critique, keep up the good work.
Gobblediguuj via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/09/22
I listen to a lot of podcasts and I feel like the sweet spot is around 30-60 min, this show gets soooo long sometimes and just gets into conversations that I honestly don’t care about at all. I feel like the host could take a little time to edit out some irrelevant tidbits so that the content is...Read full review »

Covers a wide range of climbing guests
kodaif via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/26/22
If you are a climbing fanatic, this show is exactly what you are looking for. Steven asks all the questions that have been burning in my head. I love that he isn’t afraid to push his guests for more detailed/specific info when they give vague answers. The show is expertly produced as well -...Read full review »
Ben128792 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/22/22
Steven hosts this fantastic show! He interviews a great variety of climbing-related guests and, in doing so, provides a ton of info and experiences within the climbing world from so many perspectives. In every episode, his curiosity and genuine interest in each guest is very apparent; so the...Read full review »

Great climbing podcast with thoughtful questions for top climbers. Conversations go deeper than simply the next send or finger strength. Steven has a way of drawing thoughtful answers from his guests and allowing them the space to say what they feel.
dominic capaccio via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/22
I can only echo what others have said: Steven is an amazing listener and interviewer who is very curious and detail oriented. He clearly prepares well for each episode and provides a comfortable space for his guests so that conversations feel very real. I really appreciate how he extracts deep...Read full review »

Steven has an amazing talent for storytelling and interviewing all the characters that climbing has! He has inspired so many to train hard and to push ourselves in climbing, in whatever way we like to pursue the vertical. If you need to get psyched on climbing again, all you have to do is press...Read full review »

I’ve learned so much about climbing history, training, and just getting psyched while driving to the crag listening to this podcast. Keep up the awesome work.
itmann via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/31/22
I started listening to Steven’s podcast initially for his climbing training “nuggets”. Before I knew it I became instantly more knowledgeable about the history of climbing and important figures that shaped the sport which I find newer climbers tend to ignore or be blissfully unaware of. Yes,...Read full review »

Great content. Steven is well spoken and the episodes are professionally edited. Highly recommended!!!
taosrockclimber via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/18/22
The Nugget, like it’s creator, is lively, passionate, and inquisitive all in the same. Steven is unlike any other host in the climbing podcast world, as he asks not only the questions we all want to hear about training and numbers, but also the mental and social aspects of all of his guests. Want...Read full review »

This is a great climbing podcast. Steve gets a great range of guests and is always really well prepared with good questions to get into interesting topics with every guest.
amazon_climber_mom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/11/22
Steven does a great job of talking to climbers from all walks of life — from the pros you know to everyday folks — and digging into their habits, systems, and tactics for success. Highly recommended!
FL Climber Dad via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/09/22
This and Enormocast are the two leading climbing podcasts IMO. Steve’s focus on training and questions around that are an awesome addition to the great conversations and stories from some of the best names in climbing. I hope you get Bob Gaines on someday! Thanks for the awesome content!
Ryan Lee Wood via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/07/22
Steven approaches interviews for The Nugget in an extremely professional manner and it really shows. It’s refreshing to hear such a well prepared interviewer talk to so many bear mythical climbing characters. Thanks for all the great work you do Steven!
Marshallhj via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/07/22
Stephen has an interviewing approach and overall outlook that is truly unique and genuine. I always look forward to his new episodes and follow-ups. I’ve found a lot of inspiration in the last couple years from his podcast, and I really hope that more people are able to say that. Keep up the...Read full review »

This is a great resource for developing climbers interested in learning and development of their tradecraft. Look forward to every episode.
Amp8D via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/22
I love this podcast. It’s clear that Steven approaches every interview thoughtfully. He’s so often able to encourage his guest to share insights while leaving space for the conversation to flow. I’ve learned a great deal listening - in fact, The Nugget has definitely changed the way I go about...Read full review »
Just another Siv via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/22
Steven is so good at bringing out the very best in his guests. Every interview is a gem. One of the only podcasts I listen to where I don’t know the guests, and I love them all. Highly recommended!
caseymctaggart via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/22
Steven does a great job balancing information with stories/entertainment. Highly recommend to any climber to listen too on the way to the crag each weekend!
JimmySends via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/22
Awesome interviews with some of the bonafide legends of the lifestyle that is climbing. Interesting questions, great historical and modern perspectives, great audio quality, 5 stars!
tewrfvge via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/22
My friend asked me this morning, “do you listen to any climbing podcasts?” and I answered, “Yeah but only the Nugget!” There’s a lot out there, but this is the one I come back to on a consistent basis because of the great interviewing, wonderful stories, interesting guests, and insightful...Read full review »
taniacrl3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/22
It balances information, asking questions that don’t get asked, and building the stoke for climbing. Steven is a great host and genuinely seems to care for everyone he has on the show!
CodyVHatch via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/22
Really thoughtful and easy-to-listen-to interviews. I like the way Steven thinks and he maintains a really good pace, even when things get off into tangents. Great guests. The nuggets list
asherkoch via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/22
This podcast really does it all. Steven does an amazing job (and obviously a lot of research) making sure his questions are thoughtful and unique. I’ve listened to every single episode of this show (some more than once) and can confidently say it’s been worth every minute. A true gem in the...Read full review »

Love that song 🙌🙌🙌 I listen to a lot of podcasts. This is the only one that I regularly rewind and repeat, share and support.

gumbie queen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/22
I’ve listened to all the other climbing podcasts and have honestly been a little put off by most of them. They’re either too “bro-y” or too “touchy-feely”. The nugget is that perfect in-between. Steven loves to get into the nitty gritty with his guests, but he’s able to pivot to bigger concepts...Read full review »
cometandcheeks via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/22
Steven has done an amazing job bringing together the climbing worlds top performers, coaches, clinicians, and influencers to provide the listener extremely valuable insights and entertainment. My only complaint is that I have to wait a week for every new episode.
AJ Sobrislky via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/22
If you’re a climber who likes podcasts, you’re crazy if you don’t already listen to the nugget. Steven is a thoughtful interviewer and a super pleasant dude. Listen for training tips, fun stories, or just hearing Steven say “hellooo friends” every week. Plenty of reasons to download. Get to it!
5746853257 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/22
Great interviewing style, varied content from training to performance to history to lifestyle. The interviews are always engaging, yet informal enough for them to surface funny stories and anecdotes along the way. You’ll get something from it whether you’ve been climbing 6 months or 6 decades....Read full review »
voipster via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/04/22
Definitely the easiest listening climbing podcast around. Steven is a pro, extremely well researched, and always has insightful takes on each guest.

Steve!! You’re one great conversationalist man. I really enjoy how much enthusiasm you have for climbing stories and continually seeking the next edge of climbing progress! You always seem to find the right questions to ask the get the ball rolling. I lean so much every episode.
jonsime90 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/22
When I first discovered The Nugget, it quickly became one of my favorite climbing (and all around) podcasts.

Clearly so much time and effort goes into this podcast and there’s some great conversations with a lot of useful information!
Moon piper via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/01/21
Steven is an amazing interviewer and always seems to ask the questions I want to hear the answers for. He touches on difficult subjects with tact but never seems to avoid a challenging discussion point which is most relevant to the guest and audience.
torro89 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/24/21
This has shortly become the #1 podcast for serious climbers!
Greg from Wyoming via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/22/21
Steven knows how to make a guest feel comfortable, open up, and share incredibly entertaining/deep/insightful stories. The guest list is diverse, and the less known names often offer up some of the best interviews. The edit is high quality, so listening is a pleasure. A lot of passion goes into...Read full review »
