Paul Kirtley, one of the UK’s leading Bushcraft instructors, has launched a podcast titled “The Paul Kirtley Podcast”. The podcasts are available at www.about.me/PaulKirtley and will soon be available on iTunes and Stitcher. 
Paul commented: “My podcasts involve interviews and conversations as well as information which would be difficult to get out there in another format. The aim is to share solid, good quality information and advice as well as knowledge and experience from other outdoor experts with as wide an audience as possible.
“The aim is also to entertain. I’ve just recorded episode 3 and I think this is probably the most entertaining yet. I’m looking forward to finding out what listeners think!”
Episode 1 of The Paul Kirtley Podcast features a discussion with Dr Sarita Robinson, Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychology at The University of Central Lancashire. Paul and Dr Robinson cover a range of topics; from lessons learned from studying underwater helicopter evacuations, to whether or not you can screen people to see if they have what it takes to be a survivor.
Episode 2 features a discussion with British canoeing maestro Ray Goodwin, Level 5 Coach in Open Canoe, Kayak and Sea Kayak and author of the lavishly illustrated book Canoeing. Ray has undertaken his share of difficult and risky trips, including the first circumnavigation of Wales in a canoe and the first unsupported crossing of the Irish Sea in an open canoe. In his discussion with Paul, which was recorded during a 14-day wilderness trip in Canada, Ray talks about attitude to risk in wild and remote places as practical tactics for making a journey in the Canadian wilderness.
