The Banyan Collective

Adrian Todd Zuniga (Yes, that famous guy who started Literary Death Match) talked to us on the LITerally Podcast, and we laughed a lot! We talked about his book Collision Theory that came out 2018 after its own 13-year journey to publication. It's a great book that deserved a home and found one with a publisher who believed in it. If you're in the thick of things, this podcast is for you. It's honest and uplifting, and very funny.

Where Outdoor Adventure summits the airwaves, it’s the Ogden Outdoor Adventure Show!! I’m your host, R. Brandon Long, on belay with you for the next 40ish minutes. By my side is the BEST co-host in all the land, Todd to the Top!! We are hanging out in the GEAR30 lounge today.
