Topic/Summary: In this episode, our goal is to introduce to our family and friends some words and terminology of the thru-hiking community. The first half of this podcast was recorded as school was finishing for the summer. Chloe joins us for this segment so there are four of us on the podcast. The second part was recorded in September after summer. Chloe could not join us for this segment.
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.
