Dear Thom. I've been following your Everest Mystery YouTube channel for quite a while now, sharing many of the episodes with my Canadian partner of 52 years, Penny. In 1973, a few months after meeting on a bus stop in Darwin Australia, we trekked to Everest Base Camp without guides or porters - two 25 year olds with an adventurers spirit. We subsequently climbed Kili, Mt Kenya, and Allalinhorn (by moon light) - just enough to experience the challenges of high altitude and the spectacular views from high places. These days we are delighted to be able to adventure vicariously through the wonderful films by you, Jimmy, Conrad et al. While searching for contact info I stumbled onto your podcasts, a medium I've never used. I see that there's a whole new set of stuff to listen to with your calm voice that has become so familiar to us. We'd like to pay a subscription. Which is better for you, YouTube or your podcast? We sincere thank you for all the work you put into keeping our mountain adventuring spirits alive! The Sandy Irvine discovery has certainly renewed our thirst for answers!
