as a kid my dad use to bring me rock climbing. when the route was getting good he would shout down at me ‘FIVE STAR’ in encouragement. as a listener to Backpacker Radio you can also have the ‘FIVE STAR’ experience, but without the cliff face.
I met Zach in Seattle this summer and asked him about any cold soak recipes he would recommend. He proceeded to describe cold soaked meals as slop and to urge me to change my lifestyle. Thanks to the bystander who witnessed this act of violence and shared a buffalo pasta salad recipe. I will never stop enjoying my slop. Haters begone!
Spicy show needs its own trail name
I have finally caught up after two years of listening, sadly just to have Chaunce leave 😫. This podcast is entertaining, educational, and full of surprises. Just one complaint… as a dedicated Star Wars fan it was painful to listen to the triple crown of Star Wars characters.. and chaunce explain the story… she wasn’t completely wrong but still not quite right. Other than that love the girl talk episodes and more Jess would be nice. Love it! Will continue listening!
Listening to this in car the audio mixing is often very rough. Even when not in my car guests and hosts are all different volumes. Often one is way louder and someone is way too quiet. If they could fix this audio issue podcast would be perfect. I love the content though keep it up!
