- Like eavesdropping on a couple of good mates
I love the easy going, chatty vibe of Trail Talk. There’s no ego or sense that hikes have to be grade 5+ to be worthy. Inclusive, honest and I’ll be listening again to pick up trip ideas for when I come across to WA. Thanks guys!

Australia2 years ago - Excited to discover this podcast!
I have been following Life of Py for years on Instagram and didn’t realise he also has a podcast. Have listened to a couple now and really enjoying the information and descriptions of tracks I have wanted to do for a long time. Thanks guys!
Apple Podcasts5Ange9099Australia2 years ago - Great local content for Western Australia
This is a great podcast for anyone in Perth who loves hiking (either locally or traveling for hiking holidays). I got so much inspiration and discovered new awesome hiking places. I’ve listened to some of them quite a few times (dream Bibbulmun, snorkeling, women who hike round table)
A podcast that isn’t about the personalities of the hosts - it’s about hiking!
Apple Podcasts5FayleyAustralia4 years ago - Perfect listening as you go for walk
Love listening to Mark and Donovan as I go for walks after work, very relaxing and informative. These two know what they are talking about when it comes to hiking in Australia.

I was referred by Jenny Woodhouse and am so grateful! I once lived in WA and love hearing of hikes which I’ve done and many more to return and experience. I appreciate the diversity of trails explored and discussions on gear and trek prep. I hike in Tas once or twice a year and my last hike was South Coast Track so I’m hoping these guys will do this eventually and also Western Arthur’s because I’d like a comparison- to know if WA’s is comparable in any way with SCT as far as ability required to ... more
