    I love listening to your show, but you seem to be playing more and more adverts. Your shows seem to be 50% adverts. Is that because I download the shows?

    I have to say this is my new favorite wind down st night story time. As I listened to the Appalachia trail story from mental health problems to hiking for health, I felt pulled in and in the moments. Thanks for a great story. Lori

  • One Episode

    I could enjoy the podcast but I rarely listen because each interview is broken up into multiple episodes. It just makes it more difficult. I would prefer just to hit play and listen to it as one episode. It’s also too structured. Just have a conversation.

After getting sober, Hardin joined a gym, gradually became more comfortable exercising, and signed up for a local Thanksgiving 5K after seeing a flyer.
Trail Stories - It Is Never Too Late to Rewrite Your Story with Joe Hardin
Q: Tell us what the logistics are actually like.
Hardin says the heat led his group to move mostly at night, but they still had to cover at least 50 kilometers daily and plan resupplies around businesses closing early.
Dark Miles - Larry and the Long Way Back (with Shawn Mahoney)
Q: If you could have one more conversation with the version of you in that hospital bed, the one who hadn't done any of this yet, what would you say?
He would tell his earlier self to stay focused, remember that the difficult path is worth it, and be grateful to be alive and able to keep moving forward.
Dark Miles - Larry and the Long Way Back (with Shawn Mahoney)
Q: Has there ever been a moment that you thought about leaving Larry behind?
Shawn says no. He cannot imagine hiking without the log, which he has carried on every hike.
"I Had A Big Old Blank Canvas." - Watergirl (Part II)
Q: At what point did you know there was going to be a book that came from this, and did you start taking mental notes?
Zelinski hoped the AT experience would become a book and recorded it through nightly journals, a small notebook, phone notes, and audio. She says those records preserve details and help her reconnect with the experience, and she is now developing a memoir about what the trail changed in her.
