GHT Overland - The Overlanding, Adventure Travel Podcast

Graeme Bell and his family have been on the road in a modified Land Rover Defender for more than a decade, and GHT Overland is the podcast that came out of that. Graeme is South African, writes for several overlanding magazines, and brings a blunt, sometimes cranky perspective that cuts against the Instagram version of vehicle-dependent travel. The show mixes solo episodes, where he talks about route planning, border crossings, or the mechanical realities of keeping a 30-year-old truck alive in Patagonia, with interviews of other overlanders, mechanics, outfitters, and occasionally writers. He's especially good on the parts nobody posts about: carnets, fixers, crooked customs officials, and the slow emotional grind of being away from home for years. If you're shopping for a rooftop tent or dreaming about driving the Pan-American Highway, this will give you a realistic picture of what that actually involves. Episodes are usually 45-75 minutes, and the back catalog runs deep enough that you can find conversations on just about any overlanding region you're curious about. Recommended for anyone who owns a 4x4 and a passport.
