So, what is Tumblehome? It’s a podcast, of course!
What started as a way for Erik and Adam to talk about the BWCA within the historic Lodge, as well as try to passively advertise the business by joking saying it was “Sponsored” by the lodge soon began amassing a following.
But, it’s more than that.
Soon, a GMail address and a Google Voice number were acquired, and they began soliciting responses from their listeners. A couple years later, a Reddit community sprung up, and more recently, a Discord server. The discord is where, if they are brave enough, listeners can join and become fully immersed in the Tumble-verse.
Okay, so, where do I get started?
Glad you asked! Here’s a selection of episodes which might be helpful to newcomers.
