  • DISCOVER: River Drifting, Reef Diving & Rainforest Wandering in Tropical North Queensland

    DISCOVER: River Drifting, Reef Diving & Rainforest Wandering in Tropical North Queensland
    Apr 14 2025
    In this episode, we’re heading deep into the wilds of Tropical North Queensland, Australia—where the oldest rainforest in the world meets the greatest reef on the planet. We’ll be connecting with an Aboriginal guide to learn indigenous perspectives on the land; doing something called ‘River Drifting’ through the ancient forests of Daintree; seeing the Great Barrier Reef from the sky and under the waves, and lots more. Our Discover Guides are deep dives into destinations we love. Think of them like a cross between a traditional radio show and an audio magazine: fast paced, with multiple guests and different segments from traditional interviews to immersive stories. Highlights include: Trying out River Drift Snorkelling on the Mossman River, surrounded by lush tropical rainforest. Going on a Walkabout Tour through the Daintree Rainforest led by a local Aboriginal guide from the Kuku Yalanji community. Exploring the Great Barrier Reef from above and below with a local expert. Tasting something called a Chocolate Pudding Fruit in the Atherton Tablelands. Find out more: Thanks to Down Under Endeavours for partnering with us on this episode.

    🎧 PATHWAYS: Rainforest Drifts, Kangaroo Islands & Denali’s Frozen Edge
    Apr 10 2025
    This is your monthly guide to the world’s wildest travel stories – one adventure at a time. Every month on Pathways, host Aaron Millar and producer Jason Paton crack open a few stories, play their favorite clips, and take you on a whirlwind preview of what’s coming up on Armchair Explorer. It’s part travel hangout, part behind-the-scenes, part “wait, you did what?”—and all of it is designed to help you find your next great escape. This month, we’re going deep. Deep into the world’s oldest rainforest. Deep into the soul of South Australia. And deep into the heart of America’s wildest frontier with one of the great explorers of our time. 🌍 Coming Up This Month: 🌿 DISCOVER | Tropical North Queensland This episode takes us to Tropical North Queensland—home to two of the most unique ecosystems on the planet: the Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. We join an Aboriginal guide on a walkabout tour, drift quietly down jungle rivers and explore the reef’s vibrant underwater world. It’s a journey that blends nature, culture, and connection—with a few surprises along the way. 🦘 EXPLORE | South Australia In this episode, we explore Kangaroo Island, where wildlife roams free and the wine flows easy. We'll explore the wild beauty of the Limestone Coast, go behind the scenes in Adelaide, and discover why South Australia might just be the country’s best-kept secret. Think rugged cliffs, artisan vineyards, and a vibe that feels like the edge of the world—but somehow right at home. ❄️ ADVENTURE | Jon Waterman – Into the Thaw Based on his epic books Shadow of Denali and Into the Thaw, we take a deep dive into the journeys of Jon Waterman—one of the most intrepid explorers of North America. From near-death climbs on Denali to Arctic expeditions across melting ice, Jon’s stories are raw, real, and radically human. This one’s for the wild-hearted. 🌏 Ready to Explore?
