Great, info-packed, inspirational and entertaining podcasts!

I can’t believe I just stumbled upon this podcast. It is truly packed with useful information and inspirational, entertaining stories for anyone interested in thru hiking. I’m now eagerly going through past episodes, especially those focusing on information useful for my upcoming thru hike of the John Muir Trail and my plans to finish section hiking the Continental Divide Trail (at least within Colorado). I’ve just finished listening to episode 191 with “Just Mike” McClure, and it is so useful. Great job!

Awesome stories and advice from real people

I love hearing the stories from fellow thru hikers. Carol’s format of having hikers report from the trail is so cool and I love feeling like I’m on trail with people. Some of my favorite episodes feature Dim Sum.

Perfect Hiking Podcast for Rookies and Veterans Alike

Absolutely love this podcast!! Such great information for hiking rookies and veterans alike with a variety of episode formats and knowledgable guests - many with years of experience in the backcountry. The host, Cheer, is a triple crowner herself and not only asks amazing questions but brings a wealth of knowledge to the episodes as well. And, she’s fun! Highly recommend for anyone interested in hiking/ backpacking/ the outdoors and getting out more often!

This is my absolute favorite podcast on ANY platform! Cheer is a real deal triple crown hiker who interviews long distance hikers and potential long distance hikers engaging in a positive, informative, inspirational manner. The Thru r podcast for you if you’re considering hiking a long distance trail or are already an experienced hike who loves hearing about life on and trail. Thank you, Cheer!

Brutal

I’ve listened to 15 or so of the podcasts and truly can’t stand them. Silly giggling over nothing, topics are silly and mostly not important. The vocal fry and uplift are like fingernails on a chalkboard. Hard pass.

Love this podcast!

Cheer is such a great interviewer and does a great job capturing different hikers’ unique experiences with long distance hiking. Some thru-hiking podcasts seem to drag a bit, but Cheer does a great job keeping things on track while allowing each hiker to go deeper with their own stories. Super engaging, fun, and informative for anyone who loves thru-hiking or following thru-hikers.

Great hiking podcast!

Cheer does an excellent job keeping these conversations both informative and enjoyable. She keeps the conversation moving and on track, but also allows for side trails here and there. This is already one of my favorites, and I’m fairly picky about what podcasts I listen to. I like a little banter but I don’t want to feel like my listening time is being wasted on useless drivel, and I thoroughly enjoy dense data, but it needs to be spiced up with real human stories. Great blend!
