Episode 27: Kate

Simon Josey

In this episode of the Reel Riders podcast, I talk to Kate, the creator of the "BraapT7" YouTube channel. Kate shares her journey from childhood motorcycle rides in Hungary to becoming an adventure motorcycling filmmaker, balancing riding challenges with the demands of solo filmmaking.

Key highlights:

* How Kate fell in love with motorcycling.

* The struggles of riding a heavy bike off-road.

* Why filmmaking is both her passion and her biggest challenge.

* The best and worst parts of running a YouTube channel.

And for those of you too young to have heard of "The Blair Witch Project", it's a 1999 independent horror film, shot in a "found footage/pseudo-documentary” style. Consider checking it out to see what the fuss was all about, back around the turn of the century.
