R.O.A.M. – Sharing Remarkable Outdoor Adventure Moments is your campfire companion for the weird, wild, and wonderful. Hosted by Bridget and Pete—two nature nerds with a knack for storytelling—we wrangle tales from adventurers who’ve been lost, found, or simply struck speechless by the stars. It’s part comedy, part cautionary tale, part love letter to the outdoors. These stories blur the line between the ordinary and the extraordinary, showing how nature challenges, changes, and connects us. From missteps to miracles, our guests share the kinds of stories you tell when the boots come off and the marshmallows come out. This isn’t just about the wild—it’s about what the wild awakens in us. Come R.O.A.M. with us. Step off the map, and into the story.
An adventurous life is a gross understatement when listening to the rich stories that have defined the life and work of Foxy. Robyn's early years were defined by whitewater kayaking and sailing excursions in Victoria, whilst still at school. Foxy's passion for whitewater kayaking and rafting continued as a young adult undertaking over thirty multi day trips down the Franklin River in Tasmania, the first as a nineteen year old.
In this conversation we have the absolute pleasure and privilege of chatting with Bec Fox, a self proclaimed 'wild fox'. Foxy's relationship with the natural world began from very young age, free roaming the family farm which her parents were regenerating. This deep connection to the land led to Bec's love of nature, going ahead and establishing nature camps for city kids from age thirteen.
The title of this episode alludes to Mick's laconic, often understated attitude to his life as an outdoor educator and hardcore adventurer in the nature space. A self described lover of the outdoors and what it has to teach all humans, he regales the audience with tales of: solo surfing trips, sea kayaking Bass Strait and the connections with the awesome people that a life filled with adventurers outside has provided.
In this episode we chat with John Beede who is a world class adventurer and one truely great human. John has climbed the 7 Summits, has written books, is a motivational speaker and currently facilitates men's retreats, yet in this candid conversation punctuated with humility and humour he opens his soul to our audience. It is so beautifully uplifting to hear such an accomplished mountaineer, perhaps an outdoor guru, share stories of natural connection and transcendence in the world, grounded in moments of personal discovery and enlightenment. Yet to have the skills and stamina to summit the Grand Teton (WY) USA in a day with no tent, no pro and one rope suggests that John is indeed a mountaineer of significant standing. But loves to fill his downtime on expeditions gold panning in his underwear !
Dr. Jackie Kiewa and Dr. Trevor Robertson are astounding outdoor adventurers always leading with humility, wisdom and grace.
This episode presents a deep dive into the remarkable outdoor adventure moments of your fabulous hosts.
In this episode we speak to Brendan Munge (Munge) who has taught outdoor education in universities for the past 17 years. Munge currently shares his knowledge and wisdom with the students and staff at the University of the Sunshine Coast Queensland Australia
