This week we have an extra special and action-packed episode with our fav picks from (and around) Geneva Watch Days and a delightful interview with the multi-talented Megan Hine. From her time supporting the production of shows including Man Vs. Wild to scouting, ensuring others’ survival, and wilderness guide duties, Megan Hine has been working on the adventurous fringe for nearly two decades and she was kind enough to chat with Jason and James during a short break in her busy work schedule.
Putting aside the topic of Bear Grylls’ continued survival (if for only a moment), Jason and James also get into a list of the recent watch releases that managed to catch their eyes from Geneva Watch Days and more (so much titanium). Finally, don’t skip Final Notes because the TGN boys have a handy new app, a personal-sized exploration ship from LEGO, and an amazing photo report from Kabul.
Thanks so much for listening! Just press play and hit the comments below if you want to get in touch.

Glad you liked the Seek app, Jason. I've grown up in a family that usually always knows what kind of bird or plant they're looking at, so I have an innate urge to ID just about every new organism I come across. The image recognition behind this thing is truly uncanny sometimes. Thanks for the shout-out!
Loved the interview guys
