How does a ground fall on a remote Scottish sea-cliff lead to questions of spirituality, heavy drinking, a broken back, and dancing Irish Jigs? Somehow it is all connected. Follow the folly and adventures as we hear a mostly true legend from before there were cell phones.

Having kids has been a very multi-faceted experience. But one of the best times is seeing adventure through their eyes. Taking them places that my wife and I would rate a 1 out of 10 on our "adventure scale", but rediscovering the magic through their eyes. A mellow class 2- river canyon only 20 minutes from our house is transformed into something akin to the Grand Canyon in our little boys eyes. Staying up late to look at the stars, listening to the swooping swifts eat their morning breakfast of bugs as the sunlight peeks over the walls of the valley, or hiking 2 miles up to the aptly named "chimney rock" (one of literally 1000s of chimney rocks across the west coast!) all become magical and transformative experiences. So take a load off, and join me in this little escape into the wonder of childhood with a few extra stories thrown in. As always, thanks for listening!

Andy Magness/. Risk, Adventure, and being a dad.

"Adventure" and "Risk" are easy bedfellows. But things become more complicated when you add "Parenthood" to the mix. In this episode, we'll hear from host Jason's twin brother as he weaves a story about an ill-fated expedition to seek out a talking bear named Stumpy. And then he will share with us some beautiful thoughts that all adventurous parents will connect with. Worth a listen. Andy is a rare, wonderful person.

Check out an exclusive interview with the team! They already did a proper post race talk with Brian Gatens of the Dark Zone Podcast - so GO LISTEN to that one for a bit more play by play and insight. This one is more of an insiders look into our team culture, and the things that I (Jason) particularly wanted to ask them about. So dive in if you have time - and make sure you come back to listen to some of our adventure Narratives - we've got some great new stories coming from new guests in the next few episodes as we get back to more normal casts!

Final episode, lots of fun and excitement. And sponsor goodies if you listen to the end.

Another Flash Cast about the Expedition Ozark Race. We lay out emergency Weather hold it's implications, as well as a "time bonus" that some teams received and a short course. The full field is down to about 13 out of 35 teams left on the full course!

Day 2 Expedition Ozark.

We love adventure racing. More than we love Kidney stones. And what better way to distract myself from the pain of the latter with talk about the former.

I am sitting out Expedition Ozark due a "little" 8mm stone, but I have lots of insight to offer. Sit back and catch up on the first day of Expedition Ozark! We'll talk through some of the overnight excitement, mapping philosophy, and that dreaded TA3 route kerfluffle. There were a lot of changes overnight!

A tube of exfoliating apricot face wash once saved me from trouble with the law. True story. Suggest that you listen to Episode 7: "First Day Of Work" before this one to get a bit of context, but this story stands on its own too. I bit bitter sweet recording this as I was supposed to be racing across Arkansas with my wife this week but a painful 8mm obstacle made me change my plans! Regardless, enjoy the story, share the podcast, listen to some Midnight Oil music, and visit our sponsors below! Oh - and have a great adventure of your own soon!
