Customer Reviews
Great Stories
Thoroughly enjoy putting the headphones in, going for a hike or run and just letting the stories captivate me. Thanks for the great entertainment! Love to hear about fellow adventurers.
Perfect podcast for long runs
Although the runners that Ben selects for his show are all inspirational, Ben is the superstar of this podcast with the perfect format, his detailed research and awesome interview skills. I love this show and can’t wait for Season 2.
Relatable, inspiring stories
I recently discovered this podcast, and am enjoying it immensely! As someone who has finished in the bottom 5-10% of the handful of ultras I’ve done, it’s super inspiring to hear stories of back of the packers struggling against the odds to crush crazy distances. The interviewing style is warm and inviting, the stories are gripping, keep it up Ben!
