Podcast: Adventure Edge Radio with Jimmy Buff–Episode 3
August 5, 2008
The coverage of the recent tragedy on K2 has resulted in The Adventurist getting a couple of days behind with other news and updates. This may take me a day or so to catch up on, but I am pretty sure all of you will agree that there were more important things going on that I had to stay with-if you have been around this site very long, you already know that when something big breaks, my attention goes there. With the news of the recent K2 tragedy starting to die down, it is time to get back to a sense of normalcy at The Adventurist.
Last week, I touched upon a new podcast I discovered over at The Sierra Trading Post. The podcast, “Adventure Edge Radio with Jimmy Buff”, has become a part of my weekly listening habits. Jimmy touches on a lot of different areas, shares some of his expertise and thoughts, and always offers great interviews with some of the leaders in the adventure world.
This weeks podcast in no different.
Episode 3 of Adventure Edge Radio finds Jimmy discussing Sir Richard Branson’s ongoing project to make space tourism a reality. While this would be a great feat and drum up much interest in space exploration, Branson’s new formula for success is also going to rely upon being publicly accepted. I am pretty sure there won’t be a problem there. Jimmy offers up some nice sound bites of Sir Richard discussing his latest foray into space tourism and what the future might have in store.
Jimmy Buff’s featured interview this week is with Olympic bound Todd Wells. It gives us some insight into what it takes to be an Olympic caliber mountain biker (which is a pretty new sport to the Olympics) as well as clues us in on some training and biking advice. This is another great interview and one of the reasons why Adventure Edge Radio has become a highlight of my week.
Other news of note: Jimmy touches on the recent Tour de France, as well as features his weekly gear spotlight. This week it is wetsuits.
One of the more interesting bits of Adventure Edge Radio this week happens to be Jimmy’s take on being an adventure junkie. I think all of us can relate to this one. I find myself noticing a lot of the same things Jimmy does while out and about, and visiting many of the same places for the hard to get information. Go have a listen, it is quite entertaining.
