Customer Reviews
Bruce Trail episode
Just listened to the BT episode interview with Elisha. Excellent job! Great interview and Elisha really articulated the experience of the trail and the role her relationship with her Mom played in the overall hike. I do the Peninsula section as a 15 year old in 1980 as part of an Outward Bound program. Can’t wait to hike it again.
And the list grows …
Brilliant Podcast. Thank you Jeremy. We did Portugal’s Fisherman’s Way this September and loved it. It had been postponed since 2020. Your podcasts have the perfect balance of content and our Bucket list continues to grow.
Great podcast!
I love listening to and about the hikes. It’s the right mix of story and info. It’s very distracting though when trying to get work done.
