- Devoted follower!
I love “Dirt in My Shoes” and have used their suggestions many times and they are spot on! Getting ready to use my first itinerary for Acadia and looking forward to it! You mentioned supporting nonprofit s that support the parks… do you have ones you recommend? We live in Washington state…but we love all the parks! Thanks!

One of my favorite podcasts for sure. The hosts are so knowledgeable. However, John needs to stop saying “right” so much when he responds to Ash’s comments. It’s getting old.

Ash and John are fantastic and treat us to a fun way of learning all about the things to do and see in our great National Parks. They provide in-depth info for the best hikes and scenic drives. My favorite episodes are the ones where John plays a game with Ash in which she has to catch certain things he says (I.e. names of Beach Boys songs). He stumps me sometimes. :)

I absolutely love this podcast with Ash and John! I have planned several NP trips using their podcasts and itineraries! They are just so helpful, honest, hilarious, and fun! I hope to run into them on the trails one day:)

Title says it all. Hosts are neither entertaining nor interesting. Huge opportunity to do good work talking about national parks wasted by feeble attempts to be a lifestyle brand.
