Rate ShowNailed it!
I’ve been living in Hawaii for 5 years now and while it truly is a paradise (complete with daring hikes and epic views)... I DO get homesick for hikes back on the mainland.
Mighty Blue + guests do a great job of keeping me company on my morning and afternoon commute across the island. I love every segment and am bummed to say that I’m almost completely caught up. Glad it’s weekly!
If you ever make it over to Oahu Steve, look me up - let’s take a hike!

Keep up the good work
Just bought my first backpack and this show is really keeping me inspired. I’m looking forward to listening to the rest, I’m only on episode 20 but I’m hooked. Steve is a natural podcaster.

Listening While Hiking
I love listening to Mighty Blue while I go on my weekly hikes through Runyon Canyon in Los Angeles. It's a little mountian haven right in the heart of the city, but listening to this podcast has me day dreaming that someday I'll get to "hike my own hike" on a long distance trail.

Fantastic Podcast!!!
Candid, funny, educational, unique and perfect to listen on a daily walk or hike. Steve’s passion for hiking combined with his sense of humor makes it a “must listen” podcast.

Great motivation
I’ve been listening to this podcast almost from the beginning. I used to listen to them early Thursday mornings at the gym but now save them for my long drives to the trail. They help motivate me for the hike ahead and are a great way to pass the time. Glad to hear Mighty Blue is returning to the AT and can’t wait to hear those podcasts.

Happy to find new episodes!
As a LASH Section Hiker in 2014/2015 have really enjoyed Steve's podcasts. For some reason his podcasts stopped updating several months back and I was disappointed to think that the podcasts had come to end. Really enjoy the wide range of hiker interviews, book readings - keep up the great work!!

Congratulations on your 100th episode
Hi Steve,
Congratulations on your 100th episode. Not long ago (episode #77) I discovered your podcast on iTunes, since then I am a regular listener. Every Thursday, I eagerly wait for your podcast to appear in my phone and every Monday for the RTK podcast.
You and your guests are doing an awesome job of inspiring thousands of people to get outdoors. You have certainly inspired me to do a long hike one day. If I ever do or attempt to do an through hike all the credit goes to you and your guests.
I wish you good luck on your next year’s AT through hike and I will be listening to you and your fellow hikes experience directly from the trail.

Great for thru-hike preppers!
I’ve listened through this catalogue and there is a lot of great information and a lot of opportunities to learn from hikers from all walks of life! I’m a senior in college and I plan on flipflopping the AT after graduation in May. I recommend this show even for people who are “not-yet” hikers. I say “not yet,” because after listening to this show, you’ll want to get out on a trail.

Great content, even better life lessons
I recently picked up a love for hiking with my dad and we decided to section hike the AT over the next few years. I have loved listening to this podcast not only because of the subject matter, but also his personal story. He indirectly teaches a lesson that my grandpa taught me through example: It is never too late in life to decide the type of person you want be and create the life that you want. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in the AT or just looking to hear great stories from amazing people!

Motivating, fun and addictive!
Mighty Blue! I discovered your podcast upon my return from a failed 4 day sojourn with my friend who is through hiking right now... I was terribly unprepared with a pack that didn't fit and lack of rain gear (for me and the pack)... lessons learned and upon my return I discovered your podcast (the silver lining!). I am catching up daily and love it!! A seed has been planted - who knows... I may endeavor my own in a year or so. In the meantime I'm off to the Camino this Sept / October - certainly not the same but a start!! Cheers and thanks for all the great work and endless enthusiasm!! Buen Camino & AT!!

Awesome show
I am a Florida Park Ranger. I would love to hike the AT trail one day! Your show helps the day go better when I’m doing my routine work choirs. Just wanted to let you know Florida does have some elevation change. You should come hike Torreya State Park some time in North Florida. Many people use the trials here to get ready for the AT. I Love the pod cast I’m up to episode 60 so far.

Outstanding Podcast
I love this podcast. I’m an aspiring thru hiker (2020) and I love to hear the stories and conversations with Mighty Blue and his guest. I feel Steve does an excellent job with capturing the spirit of the trail and giving us at home a little taste of it in audio form. Great job! Thank you. And keep on keeping on!

Great podcast!
Been listening all along to Mighty Blue/Steve and all his guests. Been a fascinating ride to live their stories while on the AT. Planning a thru hike in 2019 so this podcast has been extremely valuable as a training tool. Well done!

Makes me want to Hike again!
I've listened to plenty of podcasts over the past 20 years and although I'm partial to this one, having hiked the AT, this is simply superlative. His voice, sense of humor, laugh and wonderful storytelling make this my go to podcast when out walking each day. If someone wants to hike the AT, this is what I'd tell them to listen to. You bring back wonderful memories!

Living vicariously through you.
I lived in the Winchester VA area when I was a teen and hiked about every trail in the area. It was always my dream to do the Appalachian, but I moved to Raleigh and then had 4 back surgeries. Now, even small walks are sometimes rough, but I still have hope that with treatment like stem cells, I will be able to do longer and longer walks. Listening to you and your many guests gives me hope, especially when I hear the hikers who were least likely to ever conquer the AT. Thanks so much!!!

Thanks Steve
I finally got caught up with every episode! Great job Steve. I will be doing my first section hike of he AT in two weeks and it is in large part because of your show. I’m even going to bring along some trailtopia adventure food with me! Keep up the great work!

Love Hiking the AT While Listening
I am currently attempting a 2018 AT Thru Hike attempt (Started 3/15/18). Currently Slayed the Dragon (Tooth), Eating at the Home-place and staying at Four Pines. Having a blast, but when the uphill starts to get to me, I click on your Podcast and find instant inspiration. Love returning to Katahdin as well! You are correct, this is not easy and no insult to Bill Bryson, Definitely not A WALK in the Woods! gbolt

ThankYou💗
Thanks to you and your podcast, I have now kayak camped twice within three weeks! And plan on backpack camping this weekend.
I just started kayaking and hiking last summer. But was to scared to camp by my self. I no longer have that problem, in fact I was never even scared on my first night out.

Enjoyment to the Max!!
Steve- I have to tell you just how much I enjoy your program. I'm a number of episodes back, but at this rate I will be caught up soon. Want you to know that your English Wit and humor are definitely a big plus. You are very easy to listen to. Almost like I am hiking down the trail, on a day long hiking conversation. Great admiration for your guests. If the rest of the people on the AT are as engaging as some of your guest have been, I can see why you miss the trail. Keep up the good work!!

Very Fun And Informative
Really enjoy this podcast. I’m not sure if it’s the British accent, or if it’s because I’m an older guy who wants to hike the AT, but this is a delightful show!
