#74 - Geoff Mackley On Volcanic Centers, The Afghan War & Pants-Shitting Stories

#74 - Geoff Mackley On Volcanic Centers, The Afghan War & Pants-Shitting Stories

Geoff Mackley is a freelance photographer who is also specialized in filming breaking news. Known for chasing storms around the world, as well walking into the center of volcanoes, he was featured in the TV series Dangerman, made for the Discovery Channel.

We start off with a literal hot topic: Geoff’s start with volcanic exploration. He details with us his experience with climbing Mt. Ruapehu, and other heated tales of his time spent in volcanic centers. He tells us about how volcanoes are unsafe natural disasters. He also tells us why it’s important to heed local warnings. Geoff also shares his thoughts on the war on drugs and alcohol.
 
The gears of the convo switch as we delve into Geoff’s frightening stories about the war in Afghanistan. He talks about the level of danger within the country, and we ask him if he’s had any brushes with death. Next, we talk about how the internet is starting to desensitize our perspectives, but things take a lighter note as Geoff shares some unforgettable, pants-shitting stories.
 
This episode goes from volcanoes to war zones. Definitely another interesting conversation and another great episode that you guys will love!
