    One star. Came here hoping for some Yellow-rumped Warbler talk, but instead got a great podcast about trail running and thru hiking. Hoping for more bird talk in the future.

  • Here for the 2.5 weeks

    Hey Jeff, really liked the Fall in Love with Doing segment to start this one. Plus the (incredibly impressive) adventures are great and all, great for dopamine hits, but aren’t we all here for the long haul process? Your 2.5 weeks post AT sounds as elite as they could be. Enjoy the “basking in glory” phase.
