In this episode of "Wet & Dry", Adrian and Bren virtually reunite on opposite sides of the globe as Adrian shares stories from Zambia while Bren just got settled in Chile after a turbulent start as his luggage went missing at the beginning of the trip. They talk about their adventures over last days and start reminiscing about their first trip to Chile seven years ago. They reflect on both the changes in the local kayaking scene as well as the own progress they have made since crushing South American waterfalls for the first time together back in 2017.

This episode comes straight to your ears from a bed with a mosquito net in Zambia, which Adrian shares with Andi Brunner in this episode. Andi reveals why Zambia is his favourite winter kayaking destination, they talk about the transition from recreational paddling to hardcore racing and Andi's journey to winning the European Cup. They also cover the evolution of kayak racing - from technique to equipment.

Finally - Adrian and Bren are reunited, at least virtually. Their whereabouts couldn't be more exotic: Adrian is currently in Zambia, Bren in Warrington, England. This episode is all about their adventures over the last few weeks and what they have planned for the coming weeks. Listen in!

What is it like to go kayaking in Brazil? Since Adrian’s crew already left Brazil and Bren is still in the UK, this episode is a solo session by Adrian sharing his thoughts and experiences from his Brazil trip.

Another one from Brazil! This time Adrian talks to another guest, none other than David Sodomka. David is not only perhaps the most savage photographer in kayaking, but also one of the most committed people when it comes to travel in the kayaking world. This episode is about David's start in kayaking and how it got him into photography, the love for struggle, the commitment to travel A LOT and much more.

Episode 11 - It's about time we brought our first guest onboard, none other than Matthias Weger! Unfortunately, Bren is absent this time; he couldn’t handle two German accents simultaneously. Or perhaps it's because Adrian traveled to Brazil and Bren didn't. Regardless, tune in to hear more about Matthias's story as an athlete transitioning between kayaking and mountaineering, his experience of being kicked out of the army, his victory in the GoPro Million Dollar Challenge, and much more!
