I absolutely love this podcast. I’ve been listening to it I think since 2018. Some of the people they have on are so inspiring and that’s why I love it. I think a lot of us dream of doing a thru hike one day. However, I must say I don’t want this show to turn into something that only young or mid aged privileged white people are the ones interviewed most of the time. What makes this podcast great is the people who have done these hikes where something very intriguing is also happening. For examp... more
Backpacker Radio has established a foothold in the hiking world that functions as a primary source of expansive knowledge about the world of walking in the woods with a healthy exploration of every branch of meandering topics.

Found the is podcast last spring when I decided to thru hike the Colorado Trail, and happened to search if there were any podcasts that talked about it, and found this one that had a several episodes all about it! BPR ended up being a great resource for more insider details on what I had to look forward to and had an awesome backlog of episodes full of fun stories from all of the different long trails from tons of interesting hikers and personalities. Proud to say I hiked the CT this summer, and... more
Backpacker Radio is the best hiking podcast period… I look forward to every new episode
and I am disappointed when it is over because I have to wait another week to get my fix. The guests and interviews scratch the itch between hikes. The show keeps me motivated to get back on the trail and gives me ideas and tips in the meantime. Thanks for the weekly reminder of why I hike/backpack and keep up the great work!
Been listening since Daniel who wrote Crunch. Look forward to every Monday and every new episode. Megaman was another fantastic episode. I cried when he mentioned finding his spirituality in the way he did. Your show has been an inspiration to me. After losing our daughter, I’ve been planning to hike the JMT for the purpose of getting everything inside- out. After 2 hip replacements I feel like I can walk forever when for almost 15 years, I couldn’t hardly walk at all. Once wanted to d... more
