#7 | Ryan Pyle | The Story of Extreme Treks
from The Ryan Pyle Podcast Hosted by Ryan Pyle Productions
How Extreme Treks began: a motorcycle presenter who didn't want to be pigeonholed, a first trek in Sichuan in 2013, and a second season nobody wanted, before five Asian Academy Creative Award nominations. Extreme Treks was nominated for five Asian Academy Creative Awards, so it's time to have a serious discussion about how the series started, with basically just a simple idea of walking and exploring the wilder parts of the world. We are now more than 20 episodes in and we've been nominated for countless awards, so let's get into Extreme Treks.
