In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined by Andrew Livingston, aka Coach from Marion Outdoors and host of the Chafed Outdoors podcast. In this one, Coach tells the story of losing 150 pounds his sophomore year of college largely thanks to hiking, details his background in theater, ballet, and tap dancing- and how that's helped him grow a massive following on Instagram and TikTok, the biggest challenges of running an outfitter, he gives us an all-timer poop story that ended with him naked in the woods covered in shit and hanging onto a tree branch, and details the rules for banning problem hikers from his hostel. We wrap the show with Trek Propaganda on gear people love 500 miles into the AT, a Triple Crown of sounds that trigger happiness, how a tornado woke Katie and I from a dead sleep in New Orleans, my Jolly Gear sun hoodie review, and a listener further breaks down the difference between a Sawyer and Brita filter.

Back again with some great questions from you!! We start with the ongoing dilemma of speed work and how to handle it best when training for long course racing. We talk with what we thought was an ex-Badger lineman about how much to increase bike volume from a 70.3 to a full. We discuss what makes a race course "fair" vs. something we feel is getting dumbed down. We talk about the warm up as it relates to racing and how we can somehow feel better after going deep into training sets. Plus, much more sprinkled in to take you to the top of the podium, or simply feel better and stick with your plan. Topics: Tour de France What a controlled swim feels like Speed work, track work and it's relation to triathlon long course training Does a former Badger lineman jump into the question pool? How much should you increase cycling volume from a 70.3 to a full and how do you implement it Nutrition ratio secretes What makes a race course "fair?" That interesting phenomenon about getting faster when deep into training sets and how does it translate to racing? Tubeless tires and PSI and flats etc… Should you work with a coach year-round? Pacing and racing. A trip back through memory lane Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

A lot of us just never let go of those first email addresses & at this point, why not. An upcoming naked bike race might be a lot of swingin balls. This Bird Thaw event is getting a lot of attention, so I hope they can live up to it. Badger is in studio to kick off Syracuse Nationals week. Plus so much more on a Mondee!

Sometimes the greatest teachers come with four legs.In this deeply personal episode, Janell shares the story she's been asked to tell for years—the journey of her beloved Goldendoodle, Badger.After receiving a devastating melanoma diagnosis and being told he had just five to six months to live, Janell and Justin found themselves navigating impossible decisions, balancing conventional veterinary medicine with holistic support, and learning what it truly means to live with hope in the face of uncertainty.More than three years later, Badger is celebrating his 14th birthday.This episode isn't about promising outcomes or offering medical advice.It's about what this journey taught Janell about healing, resilience, presence, and the incredible wisdom our animals often bring into our lives.In this episode:• How Badger's cancer was first discovered• The treatment decisions they made and why• Why they chose to integrate conventional and holistic care• The daily practices they've used to support his health• The mindset shift that changed everything• Why you can accept a diagnosis without accepting a prognosis• The lessons this journey continues to teach about gratitude, hope, and living in the presentWhether you've experienced a difficult diagnosis, loved someone through illness, or simply understand the bond we share with our pets, this conversation is ultimately about something much bigger than cancer.It's about how we choose to show up for the people—and animals—we love.Thank you for celebrating Badger's journey with us.As always...Have Faith & Take Action.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined by Caleb "Meatball" Adcock, a professional photographer and thru-hiker who completed the AT last year and is currently midway through the CDT, doing it almost entirely alone.  Caleb walks us through how he built a career shooting for brands like Hyperlite and Jetboil while thru-hiking, why authentic trail photography looks so different from what brands used to put out, getting Lyme disease on the AT and spending four days at the Yellow Deli, sleeping on a pool floaty for four days, what it's actually like to hike the CDT almost completely solo for months at a time, what he's learning about himself in the solitude, and the time he was charged by an angry momma moose multiple times near Leadville.  We wrap the show with my review of the popular KETL Mtn No Fry Sun Hoodie review, a complex question of the day involving depriving access to the rest of the world's meal access or cooking appliances, the triple crown of ways you'd behave differently if there were no ramifications, Why You Should Never Take Gear Advice to Heart, and many tears are shed as this is Chaunce's last Backpacker Radio studio visit as a Colorado resident.

On today's episode of The Bucky Report, Rajeev and Justin break down the biggest Wisconsin Badgers football pressure points heading into the season. With new athletic director Shawn Eichorst now in Madison, Luke Fickell entering a critical prove-it year, Jeff Grimes needing to establish an offensive identity, and Colton Joseph stepping in as QB1, there are plenty of major questions around the program.We'll discuss what could relieve the pressure, what could make it explode, and which areas matter most for Wisconsin to take a real step forward in 2026.Then we shift into our 2026 Wisconsin football schedule confidence ratings, going game by game and giving our current confidence level in the Badgers beating teams like Notre Dame, Iowa, Minnesota, Penn State, Purdue, USC, UCLA and more.Can Wisconsin finally show a clear identity? Is bowl eligibility enough? How much pressure is really on Fickell? And which games on the schedule should Badger fans feel confident about right now?Subscribe for year-round Wisconsin Badgers football and basketball coverage.Follow the show on Twitter: https://x.com/TheBuckyReportFollow Rajeev on Twitter: https://x.com/RajeevBadgersFollow Justin on Twitter: https://x.com/BuckyReportJJHelp The Bucky Report get some feedback!

Will it be Tadej Pogačar or Jonas Vingegaard?

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by Jeremy Phoenix aka Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen, aka Javos, a Navajo-born, Amish-country-raised, REI-employed, grave-digging, Princeton-attending thru-hiker who completed the Colorado Trail in 15 days on his first ever backpacking trip and has been making up for lost time ever since.  In this one, Smitty walks us through completing the 24-hour challenge three separate times on the PCT, a free solo fall from 35 feet- that he just kind of walked off, getting stalked by a mountain lion, surviving shin splints for almost the full PCT, and a harrowing midnight ice traverse below Mount Whitney with no traction. He also shares what it means to be Navajo in America, including having code talker grandparents and introducing himself to the land before every new section of trail.  We wrap the show with a tribute to longtime Patreon supporter Bill Jensen, who recently passed away on the CDT, the biggest thru-hiking preparation mistake- according to Peg Leg, addressing the question of which direction people predominantly face in the shower, and the triple crown of things you can easily live without but nonetheless should be free for everyone.

In this episode of Varn Vlog, we sit down with Sam Badger to explore the moral philosophy hidden within Marxian theory. While Karl Marx is famously derisive of "moralism," this discussion unpacks how his work actually outlines a robust "Ethics of Human Flourishing"—a vision of human liberation rooted in the realization of our creative and social potential beyond the constraints of capital.We delve into Sam's latest research, comparing Marx's views on character development and well-being with Aristotelian ethics, while highlighting how Marx's focus on labor and class status creates a unique framework for modern social movements.Key Topics Covered:The Ethics of Character: How Marx defines the "good life" through the lens of historical context and labor.Alienation and Well-being: The impact of capitalist structures on individual development and freedom.Beyond Aristotle: Why Marx's version of flourishing is inclusive of the working class, unlike classical elite-focused ethics.Modern Social Movements: Using Marx's ethical framework to address today's economic and social inequalities.Referenced Work:Book Citation: Badger, Sam.

With the Tour de France now just ten days away, the Tour de Suisse was one of the final competitive opportunities for riders to impress their team management and earn selection for La Grande Boucle.Join Lionel Birnie and Graham Willgoss as they complete their own countdown to the 113th edition of the greatest race in the world.After Jonas Vingegaard impressed at the Giro d'Italia, it was over to Tadej Pogačar to show what sort of condition he's in as he aims for a record-equalling fifth Tour title. In a shorter, but by no means less intense, edition of the Swiss stage race Pogačar left few people in any doubt that he's the number one favourite for the Tour.Who else impressed in Switzerland, Slovenia and Belgium as the Tour beckoned? And which big name star will miss the race and what impact will that have on his team? We get deep into all that in our final episode of The Cycling Podcast's Attitude Camp.Next week we complete our final preparations for the Tour de France with a bumper three-part preview, kicking off on Tuesday.EPISODE SPONSORSNordVPNGet NordVPN two-year plan + four months extra ➼ https://nordvpn.com/tcp It's risk-free with Nord's 30-day money-back guarantee.SailyIf you are travelling abroad and want to reduce or even eliminate roaming charges you need an eSim from Saily, brought to you by the creators of NordVPN.⛵Download the SAILY app and use our code cycling at checkout to get an exclusive 15% off your first purchase.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined by Matthew Hengst, aka Masochist, an IT-professional-turned-full-time-adventurer who over the past eight-plus years has racked up 20,000 miles hiked, nearly 3,000 miles paddled, 2.5 million feet of elevation climbed, and somewhere north of 300 diving sessions across multiple continents.  Masochist walks us through canoeing 2,400 miles down the Mississippi, the time he fell 25 feet in a remote part of the Sierra and laid there for 15 hours waiting for a helicopter, catching COVID and norovirus back to back at 12,000 feet on the CDT, navigating stealth camping across rural America, terrifying encounters with dogs, and his favorite parts of the Eastern Continental Trail. Matthew also makes a strong case for why the Florida Trail and the Condor Trail are two of the most underrated long trails, and explains why he has no plans to stop adventuring anytime soon. We wrap the show with the devastating news that Timberline Lodge has ended its breakfast buffet, debating whether poop pees count as full pees, a sun hoodie review on a product that's maybe not a sun hoodie, the triple crown of words for penis (with Chaunce publicly soliciting micropenis photos), and the best way to move legos across the country.

With the Tour de France just three weeks away, the mountain stages at the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (aka the Dauphiné) was set to be a big test for two young riders who are set to make their debut appearances in La Grande Boucle.Lionel Birnie and Graham Willgoss wrap up an enthralling week of racing in the French Alps as Mexico's young pretender Isaac Del Toro continued his development into one of the finest stage racers in the world. We know he'll be a huge help to his UAE Team Emirates leaders Tadej Pogačar at the Tour but might he be podium material in his own right?Meanwhile, the French sensation Paul Seixas and his Decathlon team endured a setback – perhaps a timely reality check to temper the already sky-high expectations ahead of the Tour?EPISODE SPONSORSNordVPNGet NordVPN two-year plan + four months extra ➼ https://nordvpn.com/tcp It's risk-free with Nord's 30-day money-back guarantee.Car GurusBuying a car is a big decision.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by our pal Elise Ott, aka Sauce, who gives us a play by play of her recent hike on Portuguese Camino coastal route along with her parents. SOS walks us through doing the Camino as a tribute to her late brother Curtis, who passed away in February of 2025 after years of living with schizoaffective disorder. She shares his story with honesty and humor, including the time he stole a county parks truck in a three-piece suit, drove it across state lines, and complimented the cop who tackled him, and gets into what it's like to love someone whose illness made them impossible to help, why she doesn't know exactly how he died, and what it meant to scatter his ashes along the coast of Portugal with her parents. Elise also shares what the Portuguese Camino coastal route is actually like, the food situation (and why it was mas o menos), how it was to hike the trail through a  tour operator, navigating language barriers with limited Spanish, and what it's like to hike 13 days with your parents and come out closer on the other side.  We wrap the show with 2026 hiking trends and whether they're actually worth it, debating the classic debate of raccoon-who-knows-your-secrets versus the goose-who-overreacts-to-everything, the triple crown of girly gear, I am very dumb and pulled my hamstring, and we cover a mailbag about wearing contacts on trail. Warning: this episode contains candid discussion of mental illness, substance abuse, family trauma, and the death of a loved one. LMNT: Get a free sample pack with any order at drinklmnt.com/trek.
