Customer Reviews
Super podcast on thru hiking and other outdoor sports
As a fellow Coloradan and thru hiker, I love listening to Chad Lubinski’s podcasts - as well as watching his YouTube videos. Chad gives awesome info that’s entertainingly presented! I’m learning a ton and having a lot of laughs and inspiration from Chad. - Rolf Asphaug aka Kinnikinnick (previous guest on Backpacker Radio and Jester Section Hiker podcasts; CT 2021, Collegiate Loop 2022, BMT 2023, JMT -I hope! - 2024).
Highly recommend
I’m a new listener of this podcast but have been following Chad’s IG for a while. I had to come write a review after listening to episode #33. I was blown away by the Krakauer quote Chad cited, alongside Chad’s knowledge, analysis and vulnerability throughout. This episode was particularly relevant for me. Will continue listening on those long commutes!
Another New Favorite
After hearing about this podcast, on another, decided to give a listen. Love the episodes I’ve listened to. No bells or whistles, just great conversations, insight and info! Refreshing.
