EP4/Title: The Chaperone
Date Published: April 28th, 2021 / Length: 28 Minutes / Hosts: Dan & Chantal Deveau / Guests: Heidi /



Topic/Summary: In this episode, our goal is to introduce one of Dan’s friends who is going to come out and hike with us for the first month of the PCT. We were going to record a trail lingo segment after introducing Heidi but Chantal didn’t have that much time to record, so we are recording that now and will drop it as episode 5 dropping soon.
We are practicing using Anchor to record and using Audacity to edit. We distribute our podcast via Anchor where 9 different podcast platforms pick it up like Spotify, Apple, and Google. So find us where you listen to podcasts and follow to be alerted when a new one drops.
