Always Another Adventure78. Simon Willis on the Adventure Audio PodcastThis month I'm sharing an episode of different podcast, the Adventure Audio Podcast, in which I am the guest. I was surprised when I was asked to contribute, given the two hosts, are extremely accomplished outdoors people. But since I ask others to share their stories, I felt I ought to accept. Peter Hockenhull and Laval St. Germain were probing in their questions, and I probably shared a lot more about myself than I normally would on my own podcast. I hope you enjoy it.
