Rich Yershon ,

Adventureman!

I have been reading Adventureman, which is truly inspiring, so wanted to listen to man himself recount his incredible feats of endurance and will power. As one that has travelled reasonably expansively and is also a bit of a runner, it really resonates. Brilliant pod, great interview, real sense of brotherhood between Ben and Jamie. Keep up the great work both of you!
