Ride of Passage

I finished listening to Matt Parker’s story yesterday. If you have a dream, a goal, an unfinished adventure, LISTEN to this podcast! You may be inspired to make something important happen. 👍🏼

This is a great podcast! So inspiring to hear of this young man’s horse ride on the ADT. Quite an accomplishment. The podcast is very well done.

This show didn’t do it for me the way I had hoped. It’s a cool story worth telling, but I feel like the host had a lot of missed opportunities to add deeper meaning and discussion to themes that reveal themselves throughout the journey. I don’t like the use of the term “hero,” although I see where she was trying to go with it. I agree with the reviewer who lamented that the host could have done a better job researching for episode 5. Bundyville is an incredible podcast that tackles public land issues. I also wished there was more time and attention given to the original indigenous stewardship and history of the land that he crossed. This podcast was just too meh for me.

I am a podcast junkie. I have listened to hundreds, maybe thousands of episodes. This particular podcast might be my favorite. It is an adventure story but filed with insights into human struggle, love, compassion, pain and triumph. This will make any car trip better and leave you a better person for listening.
