Whilst in Mexico, I recorded a fair few interviews with the great and good of American caving, including Tommy Shifflett, Jim Smith, Bill Steele and Bill Stone. I'll release these files as I edit them so here are the first few.

Firstly, an interview with Blake Harrison, an Texan caver who was most active in the 1970s. Here, he describes how he started caving and also his recollections of trips to Yochib with Mike Boon and John Donovan.

Bev Shade is an American caver who has been heavily involved in the Mexico scene with both American, Mexican and Quebecois cavers. She is a massively talented speleologist who has had a big influence on my expedition caving for one.
In this interview, she talks about starting caving and how she got involved in the San Agustin expedition in 1994.
