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
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.
Always amazed at the determination and endurance the through hikers have. No two stories are the same. Great podcast.
Most content enjoyable, although FKTs, Barkley Marathon, elite performers seem over-represented.
After hearing the podcast, I usually search their social medial sites. I started following a number of hikers and enjoy their hiking experiences.
