    The Green Tunnel podcast is a must-listen for anyone interested in hiking, history, and the Appalachian Trail. Hosted by a professor at George Mason University and an expert on the AT, this podcast provides a unique and fascinating perspective on the trail that is both educational and entertaining.

    One of the best aspects of The Green Tunnel podcast is the depth of knowledge and research that goes into each episode. The host clearly puts in a lot of effort to present accurate information about the history, landmarks, and stories associated with the Appalachian Trail. Whether you are a seasoned hiker or someone who has never set foot on the trail, you will find something new and interesting in every episode.

    Another standout feature of this podcast is the storytelling. The host has a delightful voice and engaging style that keeps listeners hooked from beginning to end. The episodes are well-paced and filled with intriguing anecdotes and details about the AT. Additionally, the use of music throughout adds another layer of enjoyment to the listening experience.

    Unfortunately, one of the worst aspects of The Green Tunnel podcast is its limited number of episodes. As mentioned in some of the reviews above, many listeners are left wanting more after catching up with all available episodes. It would be wonderful if new episodes were released more frequently to satisfy the appetite for knowledge about this iconic trail.

    In conclusion, The Green Tunnel podcast is an excellent resource for anyone interested in learning more about the Appalachian Trail. With its well-researched content, engaging storytelling, and passionate host, it offers a unique perspective that sets it apart from other hiking podcasts. While it may be lacking in terms of episode frequency, each installment is worth savoring as it provides a wealth of information about this historic trail.

    Benton MacKaye wanted to be sure that anyone who chose to spend a few hours, a few days, or a few weeks on the trail would have the opportunity to really get away from civilization. However, most of the lands MacKaye hoped to route his future trail through were in private hands, owned either by individuals or corporations. If an Appalachian Trail was really going to be built, then its leaders would have to find a way to reconcile their desire to build a trail with the rights of private landowners.

    The Appalachian Trail is a much more diverse place in 2023 than it was as recently as 20 years ago. But if you spend much time on the trail, you know it's still a pretty white place. There are many stories about the challenges faced by members of marginalized communities who hike the AT, and we need a lot more research to better understand how the history of the trail and the history of race are closely interwoven.  On today's episode, attorney Krystal Williams of Maine and historian Phoebe Young of the University of Colorado-Boulder help us explore specifically how the history of the AT crosses paths with African American history, in ways you might not expect.  Further Reading:  Mills Kelly, “The A.T. and Race” AT Journeys, February 2021: https://appalachiantrail.org/official-blog/the-a-t-and-race/.
