| 5/12/26 | ![]() Everest Short: Jakob Muehlbacher | This week, Kenton sits down with expedition doctor Jakob Muehlbacher and asks for his insights into working on Everest. Jakob is back on Everest for the fourth time. He first took the role of expedition doctor in 2023, then combined the role with a summit in 2024, and has continued as doctor in 2025 and 2026. He is fascinated by high-altitude medicine and deals with a whole spectrum of issues from 'easy' gastro distress and coughs and colds, to pulmonary issues often providing remote advice to guides higher up the mountain. Interestingly, Jakob supported the Xenon team last year and he and Kenton have an interesting discussion about the use of hypoxic tents before travelling to altitude. Listen now to hear a medical professional's view of working on Everest. | — | ||||||

| 11/18/25 | ![]() David Goettler: Mountain of Faith | This week on the pod, Kenton is joined by high-altitude mountaineer David Goettler. This is his second time on the podcast, having previously chatted to Kenton back in 2022 after he successfully summited Everest without oxygen. On this occasion, Kenton was keen to speak to David because he has recently returned from an expedition in Pakistan, where he finally achieved his dream of summiting 8,000m peak Nanga Parbat via the Rupal Face. David's perseverance shines through when we learn that this was his fifth attempt to climb the mountain, and climate conditions required lots of careful calculations to make safe progress up the steep slopes. His descent, however, was much quicker! David spent 35 glorious minutes paragliding from slightly below the summit all the way to Basecamp and as listeners, we share his joy in the journey. Dreaming of big mountain adventures? This episode is for you! | — | ||||||
| 11/4/25 | ![]() Gwendolyn Bounds: Building Fitness for Life | On this week's episode of Cool Conversations, Kenton speaks to award winning journalist and champion Obstacle Course Racer, Gwendolyn Bounds. Wendy, as she is known, took up Obstacle Course Racing at 45 years old and has built her fitness to such an extent that she now competes for podium places in Spartan races around the world. But this hasn't always been the case. Wendy discovered Spartan when she realised that she was sitting in contented inertia - in a high-pressure, yet successful career, with a busy personal life and no time for anything else. However, she decided to make time and she started building the physical foundation that now underpins everything she does. And she's never looked back. Wendy is the author of two books: Little Chapel on the River and Not Too Late Reading: The Formula by Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg Listening to: Eric Church, a country music artist, and Peter Attia on a Bone Health Podcast | — | ||||||
| 10/21/25 | ![]() Aldo Kane: Adventuring with Purpose | This week's Cool Conversations guest is adventurer and safety expert, Aldo Kane. Aldo tells Kenton that he was a Royal Marines Commando for 10 years before finding his way into TV and film where he looks after safety and logistics in extreme, remote, hostile environments. Prompted by Aldo's work, this conversation delves into the changing world of TV and streaming services, and the difficulties of balancing time outdoors with technology. This conversation delivers very differently to what you might expect and is definitely worth a listen! What's Aldo reading? Check Engine Light by Rob Wilson What's Aldo listening to?

| 10/7/25 | ![]() Tales from the Trails: Laila Peak Part Two | In this week's episode, Kenton continues his climb up Laila Peak in Pakistan, providing real-time updates as he and the team move up the mountain from Basecamp, and then all the way back to Islamabad. He describes ice towers, snow slopes, glaciers and rock formations. He explains the challenging terrain, and shares his thoughts and feelings both on the way up and on the way back down. All expeditions need space for reflection - this one perhaps more than most. A night sleeping under the stars helped Kenton to do this, as well as the ever-present Pakistani hospitality. If you are yearning for the mountains, this episode is for you! | — | ||||||
| 9/30/25 | ![]() Tales from the Trails: Laila Peak Part One | The popular Tales from the Trails is back and this week Kenton is taking us on a journey through Pakistan. Starting in Islamabad, Kenton and his team fly to Skardu (not without drama!), then take 4x4s to Hushe, high in the Hushe Valley, before they continue on foot to Laila Peak's Basecamp. As always, Kenton provides vivid descriptions of the landscape unfolding around him as he travels deeper into the mountains. This episode is recorded on the go, so please forgive us the background noise! | — | ||||||
| 9/16/25 | ![]() Conversation with Hannah Cox: Project Salt Run | Kenton's guest on this episode of Cool Conversations is Hannah Cox who is about to launch herself into a 4,200km run, having only started running last year. Why? You will learn that Hannah is obsessed with a hedge that formed an inland customs line across India about 150 years ago. It was used to enforce a salt tax and resulted in a widespread famine in which millions died. Hannah is re-tracing the line of the hedge and will be running 100 marathons in 100 days to do so. It's a bold undertaking for anyone, especially a non-runner! But Hannah's 'Why' is strong. She is passionate about environmental sustainability and has founded two businesses with sustainability at their core - Better Not Stop and The Better Business Network. She aims to raise £1m for environmental charities through the project. Through her work building communities, businesses and bold adventures, Hannah’s mission is to prove that together we can achieve the impossible.

| 9/2/25 | ![]() Sevan Garo: Starting the Conversation | We have another outdoor special for you this week, recorded near Chamonix in Servos. Kenton chats to Sev Garo, an artist and sculptor who is inspired by glaciers. Sev explains how he aims to capture the energy of glaciers through his art and how he hopes his work helps to start conversations about climate change and glacial melt. Sev tells Kenton how he initially came up with the idea to design unique pieces of jewellery from the surface detail of glaciers and the process he follows to create this wearable art. Take a look at Sev's work on his website: www.garogosi.com | — | ||||||
| 8/19/25 | ![]() TFTT: The Eiger | Tales from the Trails (TFTT) is back and this time Kenton is on the Eiger in the Swiss Alps. Kenton talks us through his ascent of the 3,967m Eiger, with his client Marco. They ascend via the Mittellegi ridge and descend via the South Ridge on an absolutely beautiful summer's day with views for miles. Having not done this particular climb since 2009, Kenton is reminded that it is not a walk in the park! Listen now to experience the Eiger through Kenton's eyes. | — | ||||||
| 8/5/25 | ![]() Anna McNuff: Adventurous Commitment | Welcome to a previously untested podcast format (for us!) - a walk and talk. Kenton recorded this episode with adventurer, writer and super-mum, Anna McNuff, whilst walking on Leckhampton Hill in Gloucestershire, and it really is a cool conversation! Anna and her husband, Jamie McDonald (another adventurer), have recently decided to sell their house in Gloucester and live a more nomadic lifestyle with their three children. As you will hear, Anna has undertaken many adventures and she wants her children to experience life a bit differently. Kenton and Anna discuss her thinking behind this big change, and they also cover a broad range of subjects including Madagascar (the film!), squats, Mum duty, trains, unschooling, mini-adventures, big adventures and Gloucestershire geography... You're in for a treat! This conversation is interspersed with dog chats, hellos to other walkers, and some wind noise - we hope you don't mind. Let us know what you think of the format! | — | ||||||
| 7/22/25 | ![]() Richard Pyne: Custodian of Páramo | This week's Cool Conversation is between Kenton and Richard Pyne, CEO of British clothing brand Páramo. Right from the offset, we understand that Páramo is unique: Richard describes himself as the Custodian of the brand, rather than the CEO; he tells us that the company is employee-owned; he tells us they have been repairing garments for customers for 30 years, whilst most others have only recently started to offer this; and he tells us that they designed their products by mimicking mammals - how does an otter stay dry and warm, even when his fur is soaked through? Most remarkable of all, Richard explains how the brand got its name from a range of mountains in the Andes and how the unlikely pairing of a nun and an entrepreneur has created untold opportunities for women and families in Colombia. This is the story of a brand that holds on tight to its values, that lobbies much bigger industry players to contribute to the circular economy, and that cares about people. | — | ||||||
| 7/8/25 | ![]() Professor Duncan Quincey: Losing Their Cool | Recorded at 6,400m on Everest, is this the highest altitude podcast recording ever? We don’t know but we do know that you’re going to love it! Kenton speaks to University of Leeds based Professor of Glaciology, Duncan Quincey, about his current research project on the Khumbu glacier. Whilst Kenton was climbing Everest, Duncan and his team were installing some impressive, solar-powered equipment at Camp 2 to monitor changing glacial temperatures over the coming months. In this episode, Duncan explains his hypothesis to Kenton and talks about the early data they are collecting. He is clearly passionate about what he does and they cover glaciers, melt rates, radiation, snowfall, precipitation, temperatures and livelihoods in this fascinating conversation. There’s more to glacial research than you might imagine! | — | ||||||
| 6/24/25 | ![]() Dr Sarah Ruggins: Focus, Discipline, Gratitude | This week Kenton welcomes Dr Sarah Ruggins back to the pod to unpick the details of her incredible bike ride from John O'Groats to Lands End and back again. Sarah blended her love of the discipline of unsupported ultra-endurance cycling with supported time-trialling to take on her most recent endurance challenge. Sarah tells Kenton all about her approach to riding 2,700km at a speed most of us wouldn't be able to sustain for an hour, which resulted in her claiming the outright World Record for the route, completing it in 5 days, 11 hours, 14 minutes. She explains how her support team were integral to her success and how the riding was the easy bit - sleep deprivation and requirement for calories created far more of a challenge. Sarah shares so many insights in this episode and we know you are going to love it! | — | ||||||
| 6/10/25 | ![]() Mark and Erich: Unearthing History | Whilst at Everest Basecamp this year, Kenton recorded this episode with Mark Fisher and Erich Roepke who made arguably the most exciting Everest discovery of recent years when they found Andrew Cormyn (“Sandy”) Irvine’s boot on the North Side of the mountain late last year. It was almost exactly 100 years since Irvine and Mallory went missing on their 1924 Everest expedition and whilst Mallory’s remains were found in 1999, there has been no trace of Irvine… until now. Erich and Mark tell Kenton what led them to make this discovery and their subsequent actions. We’re not going to give anything else away here - tune in to hear the whole story! | — | ||||||
