The Adventure Podcast Episode 34: The Best Adventure Documentaries of All Time

After taking a couple of weeks off while I was on the road, The Adventure Podcast returns with a new episode this week. Our main topic is adventure documentary films, with co-host Dave Adlard and I sharing our picks for our favorite outdoor, travel, and adventure themed docs. You'll find a number of classic films on our list, along with a few surprises too we hope.

As usual, we start the show with some stories from the world of exploration and outdoor adventure, including an update on the fall climbing season in the Himalaya, a new land speed record by a cyclist, and a new world record in the marathon as well. Then, we wrap things up with some gear news and reviews, with Dave sharing a new duffel bag that has caught his eye, while I chime in with some thoughts on BioLite's new Headlamp and a comfortable new sleep system for camping.

I've embedded the show in this blog post and you'll find it below if you prefer to listen from your browser. You can also find us on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Stitcher, and Spotify for those who like to listen from a mobile device while on the go. If you like what you hear, why not give us a rating on your platform of choice. You can also reach out to us via our Facebook page, Twitter account, and by email. We love hearing from listeners, getting your feedback, and fielding questions too.

As always, thanks for listening!
