United States22 days ago - Pie Erasure
I don’t know if I’m more offended by the pie erasure or Zach’s disdain for mashed potatoes. Shepherds and Chicken Pot in the top 6 pies?! What about pecan? Coconut cream? Any number of berry pies? I’d rather have cherry pie than cookie cake any day of the week.
Five stars anyway because you guys have been making my chores and commutes better since 2018. Keep it up so Zach can get an office with his own bathroom!

This mystery remained unsolved until today, listening to an older episode with Double Dip on hiking the CDT. Thank you to Chaunce for reminding me of the cinematic masterpiece The Amazing Pan... more

Podcast Addict3a month agodatadriven- A good hang with great storytellers

As a journalist myself, I deeply appreciate Zach and Chaunce's interview style. They are fearless, empathetic, and genuinely passionate about not only the backpacking community but the craft of making great audio. It's a treat to hear these two skilled storytellers provide a platform for others to tell their oen amazing tales. Best of all, Zach has recently tapered... more
