Feedback & Reviews

I enjoy all feedback about the show, so please do get in
contact - Reviews/comments wherever you leave them are always welcome, whether on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, social media or via email.

Old Fartbag: "I listened to what Al said with interest. I'm not sure I have ever heard him be so enthusiastic over a ski"

Andrea Dalton: "Loved listening to Diane, another fab episode! Found it
interesting but also a shame for our English young people that want to do a
season.”

BobinCH: "Enjoyed that! The Diane from Skiworld lady was funny. Great work!"

Anon: “Thank you so much Iain for keeping going during the last two years, your podcasts helped more than you probably know (for me at least) during challenging times. I love hearing about everything related to the mountains, long may it continue.”

Ryunis: "Great to put a voice to LaTania.co.uk It's a fantastic website and a really great source of info. Keep up the great pods. They help me still feel tuned in to the mountain community."
