  • Essential Listening!

    Basically a grown up subject for grown ups, by grown ups! Great selection of subjects, interesting SME’s and couple of really good hosts - what more could you want from a podcast? oh, and no swearing - not that the subject usually engenders this lack of vocabulary but for some reason these days podcasters seem to think it’s necessary to swear to show “smart and edgy” they are, ah well…please keep up up the output, greatly appreciated - love the shops too, some of the best around!

I focus on one lap at a time and on the smaller tasks, like what I'm going to eat or if I need to change my T-shirt.
72: Everest 50 - Fast & Light with Tom Livingstone
