A Tale of Two Trekkers - Simon and John Morris
In perhaps the farthest ranging (in more ways than one!) episode of the podcast so far, the Morris Brothers, Simon and John, drop into the studio to talk some treks with Doc. One of 10 children, as they say, Simon and John have taken very different approaches to outdoor adventures. Tune in to hear from a thru hiking Triple Crowner and his brother, the two-week expeditionist, as they lead Doc around the world with their adventures. The discussion covers enough ground to earn any listener at least 5 units of university credit, with topics such as convicts, cannibals, T Rex Syndrome, synchronicity, Allgood, Queen Bee and Spreadsheet, the Barkley, redback spiders, empty-handed leaps of faith, sherpas, age disruptors, tough Tazzie, Big Martin, Stranger Danger, and a Scottish guy named Andy from Canada. All that, and a whole bunch more. A. WHOLE. BUNCH. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
