Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
★★★★★

I was mighty blue before I discovered Mighty Blue!

My grown kids kept hassling me to find some podcasts to enjoy while driving and while sitting on the couch. I tried a few times but nothing clicked—this one was boring, that one’s main speaker had a voice that grated on my nerves, the other ones sounded good but after listening for a few minutes, I never seemed to go back to that podcast again.

Since 2015 my teen daughter and I have section hiked almost 500 miles of the AT, before I was sidelined in fall 2018 with 2 surgeries. I was finally recovering and beginning to dream of more AT hikes when I found out chronic cancer had returned and I had major abdominal surgery on January 2020. As you can imagine, I was mighty blue at being benched once again. Just when I was ready to give up on my search for a podcast to entertain me during long-term recovery, I discovered this one! Ahhh... stories I love, experiences I laugh and cry over as I remember my own hikes, and a warm soothing voice from a speaker who often laughs... British accent as a bonus!

I’m addicted!! Good thing we are still quarantined so I have time to listen to multiple episodes a day! My dream is rekindled of getting strong enough for another section hike fall 2020 (or spring 2021) and now I’m working hard at rehab with the help of PT.

THANKS, Mighty Blue!! Can’t wait to keep listening to more episodes!
