In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined by Spencer McKee, the Director of Content and Operations for OutThere Colorado. If you've been to Colorado and have Instagram, you've likely already come across Spencer's videos - he's mastered the art of packaging interesting Colorado news stories, culture, and fun facts into short form video content through OutThere's social media channels. Spencer shares some of his favorite standout outdoor rec stories from the great state of Colorado with us, including what's underneath Cheeseman Park, the legend of Rattlesnake Kate, Colorado's active volcano, the most underrated mountain towns, best hidden gem restaurants, breweries, and the truth behind his obsession with flannels.  We wrap the show with a call for the next host, editor, and producer of Trail Correspondents, some severe damage sustained by a beloved Appalachian Trail hostel, why thru-hiking is your next career power move, and we're joined by Elise for the segments, including the triple crown of things that make our lives easier.

I had an fantastic conversation with Adam Badger that covered everything from the beautiful chaos of daily life to why most fitness advice is probably making you crazy (and not in a good way).One thing that really struck me during our chat was how much mythology surrounds fitness. We unpacked some of these myths and talked about why cookie-cutter approaches rarely work. The truth is, what works for your gym buddy might be a disaster for you – and that's perfectly normal, not a personal failing.We spent a good chunk of time discussing why individualized coaching matters so much. Adam shared some insights about managing expectations (because let's be honest, we all think we'll be the exception and get amazing results in 2 weeks), and brought up some points about personal responsibility and consistency.Throughout our discussion, we kept coming back to the importance of accountability. Not the scary, drill-sergeant kind, but the supportive type that actually helps you achieve your goals without wanting to throw your scale out the window.It was one of those conversations that reminded me why I love doing this – real talk about real challenges, with a few laughs along the way.@badgerstrengthbadgerstrength.comCheck out his podcast: Talkin' Fit with Adam Badgerhttps://open.spotify.com/show/1bZ1imsL83AwRuK34S6iYr?si=6fd5bf87fd004637

Hello to you listening in Shrewsbury, UK!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.“It doesn't matter how long you have forgotten, only how soon you remember.” (Buddha)We don't often recall our memories with any reliable accuracy. But that's okay. Sharing our stories is not about nailing down the facts of an event or the exact recall of circumstances. Rather, the point of stories is to take the splintered, fractioned, mismatched pieces of our lives and, by telling the stories we need to tell stitch together moments of wholeness.Over my storytelling decades I have to come to realize that I don't need to translate or provide meaning for life events. When I speak my stories from the heart I begin to shift away from painful episodes to heal the suffering I've attached to what those episodes mean or meant. What happens next? By sharing my story maybe I help someone else heal. How do I know? I hear someone say: “What! You, too! I thought I was the only one.” [C.S. Lewis]Like the Badger in Crow and Weasel by Barry Lopez reminds us: “The stories people tell have a way of taking care of them. If stories come to you, care for them. And learn to give them away where they are needed. Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive. That is why we put these stories in each other's memory. This is how people care for themselves.”Question: What happens when you open the door to retelling a story that you've forgotten but now you remember? You're always invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, would you subscribe and spread the word with a generous 5-star review and comment - it helps us all - and join us next time!Meanwhile, stop by my Quarter Moon Story Arts website to:✓ Check out Services I Offer,✓ For a no-obligation conversation about your story questions, don't delay - get in touch today,✓ Stay current with Diane as "Wyzga on Words" on Substack.Stories From Women Who Walk Production TeamPodcaster: Diane F Wyzga & Quarter Moon Story ArtsMusic: Mer's Waltz from Crossing the Waters by Steve Schuch & Night Heron MusicAll content and image © 2019 to Present Quarter Moon Story Arts.

"Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we'll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring. Today's guest is Mike Badger. Mike is a key figure in the early days of The La's, the iconic British band known for their timeless sound that blends indie rock, pop, and folk. As one of the founding members, Mike played an essential role in shaping the band's distinctive style, contributing both as a guitarist and vocalist. His influence can be heard in the group's folk-tinged melodies and jangly guitar work, which helped lay the groundwork for the band's 1990 self-titled album. Mike's contributions extended beyond just The La's, as he later pursued solo projects and, as he tells us in our episode today, became a well respected visual artist as well – thanks to a can of baked beans. Music Credits: "Lovers Hollow" from ⁠Blue Dot Sessions⁠ "Keep 'em Busy (So They Don't Look Up)" Mike's Website Be sure to look for my books, "Lived Through That" and "80s Redux" where ever you buy your books.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by Leah Harman, known on trail as Twig. Although Twig is relatively new to the world of thru-hiking, with less than 10 years of experience, she's hit the ground running, accruing well over 10,000 miles in the process. In addition to all the usual suspects, triple crown trails, Colorado Trail, TA, Arizona Trail…Twig has also completed a number of lesser known trails, including the Mogollon Rim Trail, Bigfoot Trail, and a Desert Winter Thru-Hike from Tucson to San Diego. We of course learn all about these treks, why cows are the most dangerous animal on trail, and how she makes her perpetual hiker trash lifestyle work. Leah also recounts her past life living and working aboard ships, confirming that all the stereotypes about drunk and horny sailors are, in fact, hilariously accurate, complete with some entertaining hazing stories. We wrap the show with news of a group who trusted ChatGPT to plan their hike, and how that went terribly wrong, Chaunce details the stress associated with planning a wedding, and the triple crown of movie/tv shows that broke us.

Join Lionel Birnie, Graham Willgoss, Rob Hatch and François Thomazeau for the first part of The Cycling Podcast's bumper Tour de France preview. This episode focuses on the first half of the 112th Tour, which will take the riders from Lille in the north east, across to Normandy and Brittany before cutting down through the heart of France to the Massif Central. The head-to-head battle between Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard is currently tied at 2-2, with the Slovenian winning in 2021 and 2024 and the Dane taking back-to-back victories in 2022 and 2023. But, as closely-matched as they often seem, none of those four clashes has been particularly close and, as we saw at the Dauphiné last month, Pogačar seems to have the upper hand at the moment. So, will we see a battle royale between the Three Tenors – © Rob Hatch – with Remco Evenepoel one of the riders most suited to a punchy, scrappy opening week, especially with a time trial to contend with? François breaks down the route and explains what we have to look forward to before the first rest day after ten stages. Part two of The XL Tour de France Preview will be online soon...

Last Summer, MGL shared a very exciting secret with me. A year on, it is with no small amount of delight that I can now finally cease my silence! In Maya's words:“I have written a book about Portly the Otter, son of Otter from The Wind in the Willows. It is modelled on Kenneth Grahame's original, as a series of riverbank stories, and features characters we all know and love, as well as introducing you to some new ones. The book is called The Adventures of Portly the Otter - Untold Tales from The Wind in the Willows and will answer a mystery I wondered about a lot as a child, which is - what really happened to Portly for him to be missing for so long, and end up - discovered by Ratty and Moley,- curled up between the cloven hooves of the god Pan? The book is illustrated by the fabulous Polly Dunbar and will be printed as a four colour hardback gift book in March 2026 by Farshore. I cannot tell you what a joy it has been to revisit the riverbank and spend time with the much beloved Ratty, Moley, Badger, and of course the mischievous Mr Toad, but the biggest delight of all has been spending a year researching and learning about otters.” Hosted on Acast.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, presented by The Trek, we're joined by Whitney La Ruffa, better known in the world of backpacking as “Allgood.” Allgood is the former president of ALDHA-West, the current Chief Revenue Officer at FarOut, and a certified backpacking OG—his first thru-hike dates all the way back to the early '90s (some of you weren't even alive then… which is weird).  Since that first trek, Allgood has racked up an impressive list of trails, including the JMT, Wonderland Trail, Chinook Trail, Sierra High Route, PCT, CDT, and others. In this episode, we dive into stories from his countless miles on trail, his passion for backpacking food—he's a bona fide backcountry chef, as evidenced by him freeze drying his own meals—and he spills the beans on some of his favorite trail-tested recipes.  We also chat about how a chance encounter on the AT led him to adopt his dog, Erwin, and how Erwin has deepened his love for dogs in general.  Beyond the trail, we get Allgood's take on how backpacking has evolved since the 1990s, hear a heartfelt update on the health of former guest and beloved trail icon Renee "She-ra" Patrick, and unpack some of the recent bumps in the road for FarOut. We wrap the show with how Damascus has bounced back in the wake of Hurricane Helene, if animals could talk, which species would be the most annoying, and the triple crown of states we'd draft in a civil war.

Join Lionel Birnie and Graham Willgoss for the final instalment of their pre-Tour de France 'attitude camp'. In this episode they recap the final major preparation race, the Tour de Suisse where UAE Team Emirates – who else? – took the overall honours. But while João Almeida's overall victory had a feeling of inevitability about it as soon as he reached the midway checkpoint in the final time trial, the week was perhaps more revealing about the two riders who joined him on the podium. We hear from third-placed Oscar Onley, who won a stage and put together the best stage race performance of his career as he prepares to head to the Tour for Picnic Post NL. And we discuss Kevin Vauquelin's credentials as a potential star for the home nation at the Tour. He won a stage during the opening weekend in Italy last week and he very nearly delivered a huge result for an Arkea-B&B Hotels team that has been struggling in the World Tour this season. There's a recap of the other races, including two events on the calendar in Copenhagen and Andorra, a brush with the UCI rules and analysis of Tadej Pogačar's foray into the world of children's books with his partner Urška Žigart. Next up – our XL Tour de France Preview episode will be out in the middle of next week.  EPISODE SPONSORS NordVPN Get NordVPN two-year plan + four months extra ➼ https://nordvpn.com/tcp It's risk-free with Nord's 30-day money-back guarantee.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined by Julia Sheehan, known on trail, as Rocket. Julia is a thru-hiker, former Trek Vlogger, social media sensation, nurse, and now a published author. Julia details how impulsive decision-making lead her to the wonderful world that is thru-hiking, inspired in part by everyone's favorite Hiking Viking. Rocket also shares how health issues ultimately forced her off-trail, the unsavory response she's gotten from some in the social media sphere in light of “quitting” and subsequently posting non-hiking content. Julia also shares the process in self-publishing her brand new book, Hiking is the Easy Part, a memoir of her thru-hike on the AT. We wrap the show with some news about Trail Correspondents 2026 edition, the story of a hiker that was found alive at a popular PCT pitstop after being lost in the backcountry for weeks, how much weight people lose during an AT thru-hike (and why it's generally not a good long term weight loss strategy), Chaunce and I have a borderline-impossible coincidence during today's QOTD, and the triple crown of albums.

We've all heard it: wear sunscreen to stay safe. But what if the very thing we're told is protecting us is actually doing more harm than good? In this eye-opening solo episode, Darin Olien breaks down the dark truth behind conventional sunscreens—from hormone-disrupting chemicals and blocked vitamin D to reef destruction and dangerous misinformation. Backed by scientific research and a passion for holistic wellness, Darin reveals how sunscreen has become a fatal convenience, lulling us into a false sense of safety while quietly impacting our health and the planet. If you've ever questioned the ingredients in your SPF—or the fear-based narrative around sun exposure—this episode is your wake-up call.     What You'll Learn (Timestamps) 00:00 – Intro: Living your Super Life 03:18 – Why sunscreen is a fatal convenience 03:35 – Why it's always summer somewhere—and why sunscreen matters 04:09 – The fatal convenience of sunscreen: blocking more than sun 05:32 – The 4 toxic sunscreen chemicals you need to avoid 06:11 – What your skin actually does when sunscreen is applied 06:39 – FDA's shocking findings: 180x above safety after one application 07:50 – Hormonal chaos, fertility risks, birth outcomes & cancer 08:58 – Environmental damage: coral reefs, oceans, and beyond 09:57 – Blocking the sun = blocking your vitamin D and immunity 11:09 – Melanin, skin tone, and ancestral wisdom 13:12 – CDC confirms: communities of color are most at risk for low D 13:59 – Sponsor: Toothpaste tubes vs. Bite sustainable tablets 16:13 – Back to sunlight: nitric oxide and blood pressure health 16:49 – Nobel-winning research: sun lovers live longer 18:23 – Avoiding the sun = smoking-level mortality risk 19:09 – Global impact: sun exposure reduces stroke and heart disease 19:49 – What you can do: hats, smart exposure, mineral sunscreens 21:19 – Recommended brands: Mad Hippie, Goddess Garden, Badger 22:13 – If you can't eat it, don't put it on your skin 22:37 – Final takeaway: don't fear the sun, fear what's in your sunscreen 23:07 – Outro: Thanks for tuning in!     Thank You to Our Sponsor: Our Place: Toxic-free, durable cookware that supports healthy cooking.

The chemicals we're using to block it might be. When you disrupt your body's access to vitamin D and load up on hormone-disrupting compounds, the consequences go way beyond sunburn.” — Darin Olien

They may not have made it to their Swiss chalet, but spirits are still high on this month's Cycling Podcast Féminin as the team tackle several weeks of lively racing. Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Rebecca Charlton set themselves the challenge of picking out some moments that made them say “Ooh!” from the Tour of Britain Women and the Tour de Suisse, which is no easy task after a number of memorable moments and breakthrough performances. Plus this month's mini feature offers up a sneak preview of an upcoming Friends of the Podcast special. Four time British national champion Lisa Brambani sits down with The Cycling Podcast producer Tom Whalley to talk about the first ever women's Giro in 1988. Brambani offers some rare detail as she battled convent dormitories and cold water showers as well as the race itself, all diligently recorded in her diary. We also look ahead to this year's Giro d'Italia and explore the punchy eight stage course which includes three summit finishes. Also on the agenda, Denny's imaginary Toblerone-inventing grandfather, Rebecca's 90s hip hop karaoke and a thousand ways of saying “ooh!”.

Join Lionel Birnie and Graham Willgoss as they review the Critérium du Dauphiné and ask whether it was a full dress rehearsal for the Tour de France. Get ready to check-in for another block of pre-Tour preparation at The Cycling Podcast's ‘Attitude Camp'. With Eddy Merckx about to celebrate his 80th birthday, Tadej Pogačar equalled The GOAT's tally of Dauphiné victories (one) and reminded everyone, including Jonas Vingegaard, he remains the number one favourite for next month's Tour de France. But what else did we learn from the Dauphiné? Brian Nygaard is on hand to remind us that although it wasn't a winning week for Vingegaard, the Dane and his Visma-Lease A Bike team need not press the panic button just yet. We ask Rod Ellingworth of Bahrain Victorious about Lenny Martinez's stage victory on the final day, as the long wait for a French Tour champion approaches 40 years. And we make a quick visit to Coorevits Corner to find out what Hugo made of Remco Evenepoel's Dauphiné.

We learn why Jamie doesn't have a trail name, and why it's definitely not Strap On, what it's like to thru-hike with your sister- which she did on the PCT in 2018, what it is about thru-hiking that makes it so addictive for her- having taken on long hikes every year over the last 8 seasons, what it's like to become social media famous, and much more.

Lionel Birnie and Graham Willgoss kick-off The Cycling Podcast's build-up to the Tour de France, which starts in Lille on July 5. The Critérium du Dauphiné began in spectacular style with fireworks at the end of the opening stage on Sunday. The three riders who finished on the podium at last year's Tour de France – Tadej Pogačar, Jonas Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel – lined up alongside each other for the first time since last July. And they all came alive on the final climb of the race, breaking clear with Mathieu van der Poel and Santiago Buitrago, to hold off the sprinters in Montluçon. It was a statement of intent from the three leading contenders for this summer's Tour as they begin their final preparations for the grand départ.

As the dust settles on a sensational 20th stage of the Giro d'Italia, Lionel Birnie is joined by Matt White – one of the people in cycling who knows Simon Yates best –  to analyse how the race was won (and lost) on the Colle delle Finestre. Until the eve of the Giro, Matt was head of performance at the Jayco-Alula team, having been with the Green Edge organisation since it was founded. Until this season, Yates had spent his whole professional career with the team and he and Matt shared many highs and one memorable low. Matt was in the team car when Simon Yates lost the 2018 Giro on the Finestre following Chris Froome's audacious long-range attack on stage 19, so he has a fascinating insight into the tactical and psychological issues that played out on the mountain on Saturday. Yates bounced back later that season to win the Vuelta a España. But what else stood out to Matt as he watched the stage on Saturday? How did Visma-Lease A Bike pull it off, and could Isaac Del Toro, Richard Carapaz and their respective teams have done anything differently?

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are giving you the lowdown on everything to do with lightning safety. We are joined by Charlie Woodrum who is the Preparedness and Resilience Lead with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service. We learn all about the biggest myths regarding lightning safety (including how metal trekking poles aren't an added risk while backpacking), clear guidance on minimizing risk when caught in a thunderstorm, telltale signs of when the weather is going to turn, at what distance from a lightning strike are you considered safe, and much more. We wrap the show with some new YouTube videos from The Trek, the scariest weather Zach and Chaunce have ever encountered, Zach's new stupidest thing of the week: fork edition, and the triple crown of juices.
