Local Adventures with Alastair Humphreys

May 06 2024 54 mins  
There is nothing more exhilarating or awe inspiring than interviewing someone loved by so many (nearly 60,000 on Instagram to be precise).

If you are anything like me - a middle class wanker who used to go skiing but now cannot afford it, has kids (and a husband who has managed to get to his mid-forties without having ever set foot on the slopes) and also has an eco-conscience, then you'll be DELIGHTED to hear that skiing is - in fact - one of THE most environmentally friendly holidays one can take.

This episode is the one to listen to if you are an intelligent and empathetic someone that might be feeling a bit of the old "Eco-Anxiety".
