Climbing royalty. Beth Rodden’s impact on climbing from the late 90s to the late 00s was huge.

Injuries led to a stepping back, motherhood followed and she has now written her autobiography, A Light Through the Cracks.

Please just let the guy talk. Constant interruptions completely spoil the interview. Also maybe take the time (about 20 seconds) to do some research on your interviewee. And please, please stop making it about you. Just saying.
100th episode. Well done. Without a doubt: best one. Musings, mutterings and meditations "Do fish think a lake is an island?" @Castbox_fm. #podcasts #audiobooks #castbox https://t.co/EK10JTyT5a
great music so fitting for the tone
i can't believe i am the first commentator here.. well i have a feedback as i have tried to listen to your podcast but i didn't last long due to the poor audio quality.. i mean i can understand what you and Hazel are saying but the audio hurts my ears.. there seem to be slight echo and your voice aduio is very bassy.. i am no audio technician but i suggest you get some expert advice how to tweak it.. considering you have done this for some time i am rather surprised no one has pointed it out yet.. i'll try your next podcast to see if it's better.. keep it up..
