Feels Like Hanging Out With The Coolest People Ever
Before listening I imagined this podcast would be neat because it showcased a world that I was unfamiliar with, which is the world of rafting. Not only did it create a strong desire within me to pursue more river sports, but also inspired me to fill my life with more of the kind of wonder that is on such grand display in this podcast. The guests and host are the kind of people that feel really cool because of their passion for their work and listening to these episodes makes you feel like you’re in the room with the coolest people you’ll ever meet. You don’t need to know anything about rivers to know that this podcast is awesome!
Great podcast
This is a great podcast! I just got into rafting and love hearing the stories from other people. Great format and very fun to listen to.
A must-add to your favorite podcasts
If you’re someone who’s drawn to water, you HAVE to subscribe to this podcast. Natali invites incredibly interesting river people onto the show. Their conversations remind me a lot of the wonderful conversations you get to have with people when immersed in the energy of the river. You’ll learn a bit about the river community, feel some nostalgic moments as you recall your own river experiences, and even connect deeper with how others fell in love with being on the water and what lessons they’ve found there.
