Ep 101 - Bit By A Rattlesnake - Julia Fiorino
This is a crazy incident where my guest was bit by a rattlesnake in June of 2022 and ended up in the hospital for 12 straight days. She was climbing at Consumnes River Gorge in Lake Tahoe and it was going to be her first time trad climbing. The crew was getting all set up near the first climb, she decided to use the “facili-trees” (if you will) before putting on her harness. She walked away from the group and found a private area, was about to go when she felt something bit her! Tune into this crazy story of a rattlesnake bite and her long road to recovery.

Customer Reviews
Great podcast, updated audio is great!
Thanks for fixing those audio issues, it sounds great now! That was my only gripe with the podcast before now. The stories and lessons learned are so valuable. Rather than an interview, the guests are allowed to tell their stories themselves, with some questions and prompting from Ashley. Very casual and intimate.
Bad host, interesting stories
The host ruins the podcast. In addition to breathing into the microphone etc, she’s monotone and drains the energy from each episode. She also needs practice asking insightful questions, bantering with her guests, and building up the story. It’s a shame because this would otherwise be a fantastic podcast.
Great podcast, issues with audio!
Similar to what many other reviews seem to say, this is a GREAT podcast as far as content, but the consistent issues with audio make it difficult / less enjoyable to listen to. Sound between the subject and host is often radically different meaning if you’ve cranked the volume to hear one person then you blast your eardrums out when the other cuts in. The inconsistency is maddening, especially when listening on earbuds. I love the stories and applaud folks willing to tell their stories for the benefit of others, and the host does a great job asking questions when necessary and making information accessible in case you’re listening and don’t know a term or something like that. I hope the audio issues can get improved to really help this pod take the next step!
