Customer Reviews
Excellent podcast!
The show is even better the more you hike in New Hampshire... lots of good info, fun facts and great guests. Makes me want to go hiking! It also does a good job of reminding me of past hikes and inspiring me with cool new areas to check out. Mike and Stomp have great chemistry on the show. I really enjoy their dynamic and the way they rib on each other and enjoy themselves. It is clear they are having a great time and I have a great time when I listen too.
