The Nugget Climbing Podcast

I very much enjoy this podcast. I am a avid climber of 16yrs so obviously a climbing podcast would appeal to me. But I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the depth of this podcast. Steven continually digs deeper to find more meaning in people, places, and conversations. I appreciate that it’s not just a echo chamber but at times this podcast has challenged me in climbing as well as my deeper beliefs. Keep doing what your doing and I will keep listening.

The political podcast was his undoing. They denigrated and made light issues felt by real people. To wit: “abortion isn’t a legal issue” with no pushback by the host. And the guest was Harvard educated. My, my. Otherwise, I’ve listened for years as Steven ran around and around the hamster wheel, never getting anywhere.

What started as a show about climbing training has become Steven taking years to continually whine about his lack of improvement and make the show centered around his own insecurities. It then became a platform to spread misinformation and constantly talk about himself instead. Such a shame because the guests are people we want to hear from but he botches every interview.

As a healthcare professional, listening to the medical misinformation in this show made me have serious doubts about the veracity of the rest of it. Too bad; seemed like it had potential.
