Charlie Walker has… rode his bike through a winter Tibeten plateau. Rafted the hippopotamus dwelling backcountry of the Congo. Cycled his way through India, China, Iran, Africa, Kazakstan. Walked the length of Mongolia. Completed a 8000km triathlon from the Russian Urals all the way down through to Turkey. In Papua New Guinea, he stumbled upon some of the most remote tribes in the world. He walked two months down frozen Siberian rivers camping at -50 degrees. And to top it all off! Charlie Walker sat across from the baldest man in podcasting – the GOAT, Joe Rogan.

This podcast explores the adventures teased above, but as well the contents of his two books; Through Sand & Snow and On Roads That Echo.
