  1. First time listener to your podcast today! It was refreshing to listen to reviews AND the discussion of the topics that the books are centered. I really enjoyed today's show and will venture into the backlog for more.

  2. I too am a first time listener after following you on Good Reads for a while. I enjoyed the discussion on "Touching the Void" which was one of those books I decided to try on a whim and surprised myself by finding I liked climbing narratives. On this topic I was lucky enough to see a film called "Sherpa" at the NZIFF and it is a stunning visual homage to Everest as well as telling a fantastic story about the culture of Sherpa's. Perfect viewing accompaniment to books on Everest ...Anyway thanks for the Podcast I have a few to catch up on ...

    1. Welcome Trudie! The next episode posts Tuesday, just FYI. The film about Sherpa culture sounds really good!
