    Been listening to your podcast for many years. I applaud you for being a totally one person show; that’s impressive! I also appreciate how you allow the guests to speak freely without extraneous interruptions. Are there audio quality issues? Perhaps, but who cares? Really, who cares? The content of your podcast is extremely beneficial for anyone who spends time in the backcountry, and I’m appreciative of all the effort it takes to produce your show Ashley! Your listeners appreciate you 😃
