“I will struggle to write this review and not be over the top effusive in my praise for this podcast. This is the best researched, written, and produced podcast about rivers……period. Sam Carter, the host, is a delight to listen to and his background in local NPR shines through. Sam is a great interviewer and gets people talking at a depth you might not expect. Imagine Terry Gross in a splash jacket.
Sam wonderfully avoids the “two chuckleheads talking” model all too common in small, topic specific, low production value podcasts. His research and story development is excellent, each one of the 66 episodes (currently) a deep dive into interesting topics on par with better known podcasts with 10 times the resources. If you have any interest in moving water, you just have to subscribe.
While of this is true, leaving it at just that would be selling The River Radius short. To pigeon hole this podcast as just for people who love whitewater, or as “Places and Travel” as Apple categorizes it, is missing what the podcast is. It’s a joyful romp through interesting topics where rivers are the lens.
This is a podcast for everyone. Check out episode 33 about the Gila River and send it to a friend, particularly one who doesn’t know what PFD stands for.”

“I love how River Radius takes me there—from the silt buildup below Cataract Canyon on the Colorado to the Mississippi River.
Sam runs his podcast like he runs a runs a River: with attention to detail, care for both the subject matter and the people aboard, and with a sense of curiosity and...”Read full review »
