We have hikers that we want to contact and ask if they would like to join us online and talk about planning, hiking and attempting a long thru-hike. We also have to record them which we have been slow to do. We hope to get through some interviews this Fall / Winter and we will ask others to the “coming soon” list as we line them up to actually record soon. 🙂

How we are making our podcasts: Using the Anchor App we are finding it one of the best ways to start and share a podcast across all platforms like Apple, Spotify, and Google Podcasts. We will get a good quality mic like the Rode VideoMic for the trail to capture sound for our Vlog and podcasts. For editing and post-production, we are using Anchor + Audacity (which is a great free program)
