Special Episode: Everest - Sam Lindley.
Manage episode 441538793 series 3590211
This is the story of how my brother, Sam, took the opportunity, when it presented itself, to attempt a summit of Mount Everest - a climb 8,848 metres above sea level, or 29,032 feet, and whether he succeeded or not.
It is a fascinating adventure in so many aspects, the extremes, the endurance and the experience, and although it was a story I wanted to hear from him directly, we actually recorded this episode for just one persons benefit, as you will hear.
I am very fortunate to have a podcast, so although this episode is explicitly 'non-business' I wanted to use the platform to share with anyone who wanted to listen (and, in my opinion, it is worth a listen!).
A few points to consider before listening:
- firstly, trigger warning, (which feels weird to say) but there is quite a lot of death mentioned in this podcast, some quite graphic and at times horrifying, pretty much all towards the second half of the episode.
- On that note, this is longer than the usual episodes, at about 2 hours. We didn't really care how long it took, it was more important for us (and its intended audience) that we did the subject justice.
- Although you can watch this on YouTube, I probably wouldn't recommend it. It's just me and Sam sat in our parents house (not the usual studio in Canary Wharf), so not a lot to see!
