The Overlanding Game Changers! 10 Revolutions in Travel May 09, 2024

Show notes

Matt and Scott are back together broadcasting from the Overland Journal World Headquarters in Arizona, and in this episode of the pod, they're tackling the top ten game-changers for modern overlanders. From lithium batteries to satellite communications to vans, they break down the most significant advances in tech, gear, and vehicles that have revolutionized the overland industry and travel experience.

Their list is pretty comprehensive, but we also want to know what you think. What did they miss? Personally, I think tires should have made the list. Modern tire technology has advanced by leaps and bounds in the last decade, almost to the point where punctures, flats, and other failures have been written out of the equation. Not to mention the huge range of sizes for high-quality off-road rubber now available for everything from Earth Roamers to Series 1 Land Rovers.

Kingsley Holgate Shares His Lifetime of Overlanding Africa and Giving Back Apr 18, 2024

Show notes

There are a handful of true living legends in the overland world: Tom Sheppard, Lois Pryce, Ted Simon, Mac MacKenny, and Sir Ranulph Fiennes, among them. But for my money, Kingsley Holgate is in a category of one. His laundry list of accomplishments in overland travel is enough to make your head spin around twice, including leading the first team to reach the geographic center of Africa, and an incredible circumnavigation of that continent—all mostly accomplished after the age of 50. Truly, it's never too late to start exploring. Overland Journal Podcast host Scott Brady had the great privilege to chat with Kingsley at his home in South Africa about his travels and his charitable work across Africa. This is not an episode to be missed.
