Customer Reviews
Highly Entertaining
I love that the subjects covered in this podcast draw from very diverse backgrounds. Drew does an excellent job of navigating through the stories and pulling interesting details from his guests. Personally, I’m not much of an outdoorsman. However, the adventures and life lessons expressed in Adventure Deficit resonate with all genres.
Love it
Check out this podcast for interesting perspectives from a wide array of people. You can definitely find some inspiring stories here. Host Drew DeVries does an excellent job digging in to how people experience adventure in their lives.
Great content and well executed.
It’s obvious from the first episode that a great deal of thought is put into the guest selection, the interview questions and the editing. I know this kind of attention wasn’t an accident, so kudos for that. Also, the content is great. I came to this as a hunter/fisherman/hiker/camper/paddler from Texas looking for more adventure stories and haven’t been disappointed in any of the episodes I’ve heard. If the goal of this podcast is to bridge the gap between epic trips they are doing a fine job.
