Really enjoyed listening to the episode with Multiple Tour Combat Veteran Leo! Leo truly loves his Country, hiking in the White Mountains of NH, and the Appalachian Trail! Thank you for your Service Leo!
Love Hiking Along with Jester
I have really enjoyed listening to Jester and learning more about the Mountains To Sea Trail in NC. I also enjoy listening to the crunch of the leaves as she hikes and describes the terrain where she is hiking. Love - Chopper
Great time with Hawk
Just finished listening to your conversation with Hawk. Excellent job. We all love Hawks videos because he’s so genuine. Your interview brought that out even more. Great podcast.

Best backpacking podcast!
If your getting ready for a backpack trip, listen to this podcast.
Great Resource for Backpackers!
Julie is not only a great interviewer, but she has the skills and knowledge to backup what she talks about on this podcast. Definitely one of the best backpacking podcasts there is for all things stories, gear and downright good entertainment!
Great stories!
This is a joy to listen to while I’ve been stuck working indoors, after most of my hiking plans were thrown off this summer.. makes me feel like I’m out where I want to be 😊👌
Great episode!
What a wonderful episode for this weekend as well as the crazy times going on now. Leo's story is very interesting and what a great guy, thank you for your service Leo. Thanks Julie for the continued excellence in your show.
Section Hiking the Attainable Goal for Most
Finally a podcast for me! Seriously section hiking is the attainable goal for me until... well y’all know! Love and look forward to each episode release! Thanks Julie and Steve ♥️🥾🎒⛺️
Future Thru Hiker
Well, section hiking has some advantages! On top of that list: I can start now! (Not wait until I am between jobs or retire). Julie has done a great job keeping me entertained and I always learn something. My “someday” can start today! ... well, as soon as the trails open back up- I am sure that Jester will keep me updated. It’s a great show for hikers!
Thought I wanted to be a thru hiker!
I was planning a thru hike for the summer but I don’t want to be away from my family that long. This podcast has made me realize I can achieve my goals and still be there for my kids. Thank you for making my dreams come true.

Hurray For Section Hikers
Thank you for providing a platform for Section Hikers. I am really enjoying these episodes and look forward to each one. I am also enjoying the variety of section hikers from various long distance trails.
Can’t stop listening
This podcast is so informative and entertaining! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. I am a hiking virgin and this pod cast is really helpful. I think I’m ready to get started and get sweaty. Would love to hear more about the most beautiful places you have been.
Inspired!
One of my main focuses as a mom is getting my boys out and active. This pod cast is just the knowledge and inspiration that I need to put away the screen and get outside! Can’t wait for more!
TimJeff says worth listening !
Jester is a prolific section hiker and all around outdoors lover. I have section hiked with Jester and enjoyed every trip. She knows her trails and maps and gear well. She always has a laugh and a deep respect for trail life. She supports the hiking community and other hikers young and old. You can bet her guests and friends will give you valuable input with every podcast. If you want hike - through hike or section hike- you will enjoy and relate to these podcasts.
Not just for section hikers
I love this new podcast. Julie has a great interviewing style that makes me feel like I am right there in the conversation. She picks interesting guests and shares helpful tips to use on trail whether you are new to hiking or a seasoned long distance hiker. Thanks for sharing great content. I can’t wait to see where the show goes over time!
Loving this!
I’m not a regular hiker, but I’m really enjoying this podcast. It’s informative and educational, but the passion of the hiking community is what really stands out. The love Jester and her guests have for the trail is inspiring. It makes me want to get out there more often! Keep ‘em coming, Jester!
Entertaining and Inspiring!
This podcast has not only been entertaining, it has also been educational and inspirational! Every time I listen it makes me want to drive out to the AT and start a new section. Keep the episodes coming!
Amazing AT Tales and Interviews
I’ve found myself unintentionally captivated by the engaging stories told by the author (“Jester”) and her interviews with a varied who’s who of the Appalachian Trail. The laid back stories of these hikers are fun to listen to and give a glimpse into what unique adventures you can find on the trail.
So motivating!
This podcast makes me want to stay in the woods and never go back to work. Such great interviews! I feel like I am there with the guests on the trail and love the theme song.
Love this!
Jester does a great job of interacting with her guests and working with them to weave and travel through their stories of section hiking the trails. Her love for the trail and trail community shines through! Also love her segment with Steve K., talking gear. Even though I’ve been section hiking for 5+ years, I’m still learning a lot through that segment. Lastly, there’s always a ton of time and space given for thru hikers to tell their stories so it’s absolutely awesome to have a space dedicated to us section hikers! Thanks Jester for an awesome podcast!
