    I don’t hike and I’m not an outdoors person, but this podcast has inspired me. The interviews cover hikers of all experience level and age, so it’s appealing to a broad audience. Mighty Blue delivers great trail stories, interviews, personal experiences, and insights. It’s a “must-listen” for hikers and adventurers.

I didn't care for the diabeticwho is eating very dangerous food but I'm glad that people with diabetes one or two can't pick the trail but to be eating sugary toxic waste is just not a pleasant thought although I know the t... more

  • Absolutely Love It

    I recently stumbled onto this show - although I’ve never met Steve, I feel like I’ve known him forever. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to pull together what it takes for a through-hike, but my wife and I are planning our first section hike soon. Steve I love your style of narrating and your way of conversing with people on the show - you are very accomplished! Also love how you weave in your personal life and your books, chapter by chapter. The fact that you are still plugging away and very... more

  • Inspired!

    I stumbled upon this podcast because every now & then I re-address my desire to hike through the AT. After listening to several of the episodes, I’ve decided to start training (today!) and plan for hiking it next year. Not sure when I’ll begin but I’m going to do it. I’ve even got a trail name which I decided on last winter, while diving into YouTube’s re the AT. I’ll let you know when I start!!
