Bob Cartwright started the first outdoor audio podcast in the UK. And it’s one of the best worldwide.
I’ve been listening to his BackPackingLight.co.uk podcast for about a year.
But Bob’s put that audiocast feed on hold (the previous 100+ old episodes are still posted) and podcasting new episodes out of TheOutdoorsStation.co.uk.
Though confusing to listeners, this is part of a move to “monetize” and expand his work. The new site (still under construction) will post both independent and manufacturer sponsored audiocasts.
A good sample of the NEW audiocast is an interview of Judy Armstrong just prior to her departure on a 3300mi continuous hike around the European Alps.
The easiest way to try it is using the free iTunes (or similar) software. Under PODCASTS, search for “The Outdoor Station”. And click SUBSCRIBE.
(All this can be very confusing if you are not familiar with how podcasts work. Get someone familiar with iTunes to subscribe for you if it’s too baffling.)
You can listen on any computer. You don’t need an iPod or MP3 player.
It’s all free.
We are great fans of Bob Cartwright and wish him the best on this new, much expanded project.
