When Riding Tigers – Details, episodes & analysis

Cath Pendleton is the first woman to swim an ice mile in the antarctic circle. She swam the English Channel and competed for Great Britain at ice swimming. She sounds like a super hero but really she's just a down to earth mother of two doing the incredible.

We talk about mermaids, ice swimming, chat about safety, killer whales, competing for Great Britain, swimming the channel. We actually chatted about ADHD (again) after the end of the podcast and I squeezed it in. 

JFB is a ridiculously talented scratch artist. He's the 3 x World DMC Champion and has worked with so many top artists. I know him from Lovetrails Festival - where I MC the Beer Mile and he's dropping beats. It's absolutely HUGE!!!! I popped over to his house where he cooked me some dinner, chatted, and he even let me play on his turntables!

We talk about him breaking into the music scene, first world problems, working with Beardy Man, C2C, Ed Solo, Fat Boy Slim and being an arsehole. Music genres we touch on are Jazz, Drum & Base, Dubstep, Jungle. 

Emma Sayle is Founder and CEO of Wearekk brands; Killing Kittens, Safedate, Sistr and The Sisterhood. and a leader in female sexual liberation and empowerment.

Feeling there was nowhere women could go to feel in control and explore their sexuality in a safe environment, Emma created Killing Kittens (KK). Since its conception the KK empire has grown from parties hosted worldwide to a global tech company and online community for the sex positive.

Danny and Emma talk about Sex Clubs, Adventures, Rickshaw Runs, Empowerment, Saying No, Barriers in Life, Societal Experiments, Mega and Harry, the Royal Family, Christmas Songs, Faith and Spirituality, We coined the phrase "Drug dealer of sex", ADHD and relationships.

Danny shares a beer with adventurer Jasmine Harrison. She rose to fame when she became the youngest female to row across the Atlantic Ocean at the age of 21. In 2022, at 23, she became the first woman to swim the length of Great Britain from Lands End to John O'Groats - that is 1,500km. They talk about her life leading to these adventurers, the trials and tribulations of creating a life less ordinary, and how hard it is to get sponsorship and fund such huge events.

Todays guest is Alex Pardhy she is a shamanic practitioner and psychedelic healer. She had years of experience as a regular doctor before following the draw of alternative medicine and has an absolutely lovely soul. We get deep into the powers of psychedelics, her own varied experiences with frog poison, mushrooms (psilocybin), Ayahusaca, and LSD amongst others. Prepare to have your dialogue with drugs flipped on its head.

At the end of January I'm releasing the first episode of my podcast. I've been interviewing those people I see as the wild tigers of our society. I'm hoping they'll help us reconnect with our wild sides and might lead to some unexpected journeys along the way. Expect sex, drugs and the rock and roll of the adventure world.
