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.

Robyn Fox = Silver Fox
2w ago00:30:51Tap to summarizeAn 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.After such an upbringing Robyn was perhaps destined to work in the outdoors, where she could share her passion, deep connection to country and innovative ideas to students and colleagues around the world. So she packed her backpack and headed to Sudan and Thailand where she designed and developed outdoor education programs in international schools.

Transcribe →Bec Fox = Wild Fox
Mar 2700:43:07Tap to summarizeIn 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. There was little doubt with this upbringing Bec was destined to work in the outdoors however as she reveals here this path was far from traditional. Foxy shares four decades of tales encompassing : naked solos; leading and mentoring and a deep spiritual connection with the land. Something she delights in sharing with the next generation of Foxy's. Enjoy the chat Bridget and Pete Connect with Bec https://becfox.com.au/ Contact Bridget and Pete Email: 2roampodcast@gmail.com
