Colivers Club Podcast by Mapmelon

Ever bumped into cool colivers and thought, “Hey, why not start a podcast?” That’s exactly what Sole and Ramon thought when they met Cesar at Alpiness Coliving in July 2023. One fine day, while hiking, the idea of a podcast for Mapmelon sprang up. A few chuckles and brainstorming sessions later, the outline of ‘Colivers Club’ began to doodle itself. Weeks rolled by and Cesar, took the lead. And voila! Colivers Club Podcast was no longer just a fun banter among pals, but a go-to hub for every coliver with a question or a story to share. And the rest, as they say, is podcast history
