Just found this podcast and I am bummed that my binge listening is over and I am all caught up.
Thank you ladies! Great work!
Wow! As a retired interp ranger and of wife of law enforcement ranger, I'm hooked on this podcast! So many stories! So much fellowship among rangers.
This is my favourite podcast :) the hosts are so knowledgeable and I love the unique perspective and inside scoop from national parks.
I can’t listen to this podcast because the audio quality is so bad. You have to turn up the volume to hear one host who barely registers. Then the other host talks and it is too loud. They also hit the microphone on occasion. I was excited about the subject matter, but can’t tolerate the terrible production quality.
I love this podcast! The hosts are awesome, super knowledgeable, and funny. Good mix of humor and spine tingling tales, and they cover cases I have literally never heard of. I usually prefer the true crime stories on podcasts like this, but the ranger tales are a fascinating behind the scenes peek and do a great job of breaking up the drama. Also as a solo female hiker, I love when they give tips on how to stay safe in the wild. I’ll never feel good about using a pit toilet again (ep 2)
