  • Great content, but


    Please please please get the hosts better microphones. Compared with the audio quality of nearly any other podcast these days, it’s almost hard go listen to this show. Absolutely love the content but I find myself stopping halfway through a show or sometimes even earlier because the audio is so bad.

  • Mix it up

    Good podcast and informative episodes. But please mix it up with different guests. Martin is on way too often, and his freeloading ways off other expeditions is cringe worthy. Not a model climber.

  • After listening to the debrief of the season, my thoughts.

    First off, gratitude for this podcast. As an endurance athlete who happens to be an adaptive athlete. Listening to Uphill Athlete really made an impact on me with different perspectives and insight from sports I am into and are not. As a team you all inspire us athletes to dig deeper, get our mind and body connection balanced through adventure, and love the journey. My suggestion for next season is I would love to hear from adaptive athlete. Love you all! Please keep this podcast going. â˜đŸ»â€ïž
