- Insightful and Entertaining
I like learning something new about gear, if I should use something, and which is best protein bar. The hosts, Shawnte and Colin are really relatable and witty. I’m learning about stuff I’ve been wondering when on the trail, hiking, and just being outside. The quality and production value is really good. When I listen to it, I always have a smile on my face. It’s entertaining and pleasant.
