I’ve been fascinated by St Helena for years and have always wanted to visit. This podcast and the companion documentary on the airport are so interesting. I’m looking forward to visiting and staying at the Mantis Hotel sometime soon. It’s a a bummer the Extremities podcast seems to have ended, likely due to the pandemic. I wonder where they were planning to go to next.

This is awesome I learned about places I never knew existed.

I’ve lived in major cities my entire adult life and I am captivated by this series. Sam does an excellent job of providing a glimpse into the lives of people who live in the far reaches of the globe and the fascinating history of how they each came to be. I’ve only recently discovered it and still holding out hope for season 4 and beyond! Love this series!

Every season is somehow my favorite season.

It is a very entertaining podcast. That teaches you about place in the world that you might not have ever hear of before. He also has some great YouTube channels. Hope for more seasons to come out.

Great series

Fantastic series. Looking forward to more seasons

As the subject line indicates, this is an excellent series about remote places. Very well written, produced, and presented. Looking forward to additional new episodes.

Very good work. I love your podcast and YouTube channel. It’s fascinating to learn about what life is like in such remote regions. Anxiously awaiting a new season!

used to listen to your youtube videos like they were a podcast

Such an interesting podcast! I binged all 3 seasons in a week. Thanks for all your hard work Sam!

I’ve started going on long walks and listening to podcasts during this COVID time, and Extremities is absolutely up there as a favorite. Such interesting stories and so well told. And whenever I start wondering something about these unusual places, in the next episode it’s answered. Highly recommend!

Learned a lot

Amazing it’s good

I love learning about foreign, forgotten little settlements of humanity all over the world. Each episode is well-researched, written, and narrated. When they start going to these places starting in season 2 is when this series really becomes great.

Love the show - the writing and storytelling are very thoughtful and the show concept is unique. The only thing driving me crazy are the irregular audio levels. Sam’s narration has really good audio quality, but the inflection that he uses in his presentation causes parts of words, particularly towards the end of a sentence to be really difficult to hear. A lot of the interviews of other people recorded in the field are equally difficult to hear - sometimes I can’t hear their entire statement without really cranking up the volume. Some more attention to the audio mixing would be a huge improvement!

Really like this podcast overall but the way he speaks is a bit dull and is difficult to pay attention to.

I love his YouTube channel, and I will play over old episodes to fall asleep at night, so when I found out this podcast was a thing of course I had to check it out. It helps me sleep so well as well as interesting research and information. I’d highly recommend!

I watch him on YouTube but this is really good.

Sounds just like the guy on Half as Interesting. Very good podcast if you like geography of remote places

Been following Wendover on YouTube for quite some time and found his Podcast and immediately subscribed.

Great narration style, and lots of unique and interesting facts; very engaging

Incredible in-depth look at isolated societies. Easily one of my favorite podcasts.

I think it’s fairly self explanatory why this is awesome & the only negative is no editor notes which is fairly minor season 1 and 2 and the special are fun to listen to when doing whatever

Great show, but we want planes!

Exceeds the expected level of quality from the content creator. If you enjoy any of Sam’s youtube channels, you will undoubtedly love this podcast, and if you enjoy this podcast, it’s well worth checking out Wendover Productions and Half as Interesting on youtube. Very excited for future seasons and all of The Nerd Kings future projects!

I’ve enjoyed Wendover videos for a long time. I also really enjoy Extremities. It is thoroughly researched, and it is presented in a way that is both entertaining and informative. The only negative is the style of the narration, with its halting speech. It’s odd how Sam raises and lowers his tone and pauses often, and I find that it distracts my listening. While that keeps me from giving this a fifth star, that shouldn’t stop other listeners from enjoying a very solid podcast.

I like the content but there are now season or episode numbers so it gets kinda confusing

I came here from hai I guess wendover and hai are both Sam

Long time Wendover viewer, love the show!

I highly recommend this podcast! I can honestly say it’s my favorite show and I eagerly await each new episode every week!

Swamp Dweller sent me! I really enjoy this channel! Very interesting

Just listened to the first season it’s great like Sams channel but more detailed and a More defined subject.

But the narrator is so dry, repetitive, and monotonous. I’m listening on 1.5 speed and he still sounds like he’s even boring himself. The topics are really interesting and unique but the storytelling kills the whole thing . Just listen to the first two minutes of either season and you’ll see what I mean.

Better that both channels.

Lol, you sound completely different in ep 4. Who r u!?

Very good podcast if you like Wendover, HAI, and geography.

Really interesting topics on obscure places. Give it a watch

This podcast is so captivating and professional. I learned so much about places I’d never heard of before. Anybody interested in learning about the world should listen to this podcast

This is an epic and interesting podcast and by far my favorite!!!

Sam does an amazing job on the writing and production, and the topic itself is a great one. If you love history, geography, travel, or just interesting places, you’ll love this podcast.

If you like this podcast you should watch his YouTube channels Wendover productions and Half as interesting

I wish there was a way I could listen to each of the episodes in chronological order or just have all the episodes from a season merged into one large audio file so I could listen to them from beginning to end. It would be a lot easier to binge that way. Also, have you ever considered going to New Hampshire?

This is my favorite podcast. Sam does a great job narrating and the first season is very interesting. I can’t wait for the next one.

Sam’s great work with Half As Interesting and Wendover Productions has continued with the new extremities podcast. It was very interesting and I would highly recommend this!

I hope that this show gets a second season. The first was great and judging by the creator’s YouTube content I’m sure that there will be more great topics to come.

Such a fascinating story. Love that it’s in multiple episodes. I really appreciate how in depth it is! Satisfies my curiosity craving!

I can’t wait for the next season.

Travesty

This podcast is addicting. I recommend it constantly. Can’t wait for the next season!!
