The Local Podcast
After years of challenging expeditions all over the world, adventurer Alastair Humphreys spends a year exploring the small Local map around his own home.
“Inspiring.”
“A great collection of interviews with people who try to live life more adventurously. It really inspires you to think about what you can do to get more adventure into your own life.”
“Encouraging.”
“So refreshing to hear open and candid conversation. Al asks the questions i would like to ask of.a whole array of people i wouldn’t have the chance to meet, or simply haven’t come across yet. Makes you realise what a wonderful, varied group of humans we are.”
“Something different.”
“There are quite a few adventure podcasts out there, but Alastair manages to put a twist on each story allowing the listener to be involved. Love the uniquely formulated questions. Keep up to good work.”
“Love it!”
“A gentle, thoughtful conversation about adventure, stopping off at interesting points along the way. I found myself thinking about the questions and answering them myself. We might not be able to have big adventures at the moment but this podcast is great motivation to plan for when we can!”
“Brilliant.”
“Yet another inspirational and thought provoking piece of work by Mr Humphreys. Love listening to these interviews as I carry out my daily exercise during Lockdown. They’ve been so helpful in shaping my thoughts about the way I live my life and changes I’d like to make.”
“Really unassuming excellence.”
“Interesting people. Interesting questions. No ego or pretentiousness. Really inspiring and real, no instagram influencers here. Very raw but still excellent production quality.”
