Water people podcast

Can’t think of a more suitable couple voicing a podcast series about, around and on water people than Lauren Hill and Dave Rastovich , both embodying a life aquatic. Being surfers and all-round ocean lovers themselves, and best buds with about every other sea-related filmmaker, activist, artist, competitor, writer, they talk surf, action, art, books,  competition, nature, raising kids, life itself and philosophy with the likes of Gerry Lopez,  Belinda  Bags, John Florence,  Taylor Steele,  Leah Dawson, Fergal Smith, and many, many more. Once you dipped your toes in, you‘ll soon be pulled to the depths of the global ocean community. 

 

Wild ideas worth living

Listen to explorers, adventurers, health experts, entrepreneurs and all kinds of people you’ll love to hear sharing their ideas, wild stories and how they accomplish(ed) them on Wild Ideas Worth Living. One that really caught our attention is Healing in the Outdoors. Just get through the first minute of sponsor blah-blah, then listen to mountain runner Adam Campbell talk about highs and lows, intense grief, loss and trauma, and finding renewed joy and peace in nature.

 

Longboardarian

The Longboardarian Podcast features surfers, shapers (like female shaper Ashley Lloyd!), surf historians and, well, anyone who has anything substantial – i.e. interesting or funny – to say about longboards and surf culture. Check them out!

 

The DO lectures

We’re big fans of the articles, books and podcasts by The DO Lectures. In their Being Amazing Despite… series, host Gav Thompson asks digital nomad Chris Lovett about Owning Nothing. ‘Less is progress’, says Chris Lovett in his book, Discovery of Less. Learn how he came to write that book in the first place (travel plans!) and also why you definitely don’t need to be a minimalist to enjoy uncluttering. Find out how to get rid of stress and stuff.

Good Good Good publish newspapers and newsletters bringing hope and positivity to the world. And they’ve a weekly optimistic podcast too! In this episode of the Sounds Good podcasts, founder Branden Harvey and social innovation expert Abby Falik chat about the importance of travel – How Travel Exposes the Nerve You Can’t Ignore – and the strength and joy to be found in pursuing possibilities.

 

Also have a listen to Branden and writer/producer Ben Nemtin discuss Making the Impossible Possible and why we peculiar humans often put off the things we really want to do.

Get Wet Soon

Oh… Yes. Errr… Then there’s our own story. If you’re interested to know how it all started, who we are and whatnot; learn how to follow a dream, get interesting pointers on crowdfunding, working on the road and all that… you might like the conversation we had with Thomas Zielinski, founder of Get Wet Soon. We met up in a tiny café one fine January afternoon in Imsouane, Morocco. Here’s our story.
