Back in 2013 Heather "Anish" Anderson set a new Unsupported Fastest Known Time (UFKT) for thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail.
Pox was fortunate enough to interview her a few days after she finished for "Episode 25 - Anish and The Badger".
After an article was published about her in Backpacker Magazine, Anish has since said she would no longer do interviews about the subject.

Fast Forward to September 24, 2015...she did it again.
Anish set a new UFKT for the Appalachian Trail: 54 days, 7 hours, 54 minutes.
She didn't accept a single ride into town.
She walked to her resupplies.

She is the dictionary definition of BadAss.

In honor of this amazing feat of endurance, strength, and spirit, we have decided to re-release just the interview portion of episode 25.

Enjoy.

54 - Frozen Mac N Cheese

We talk with our good friend and 2015 Appalachian Trail Thru-Hiker, Frozen Mac N Cheese.

Part of this interview was recorded back in April when Frozen Mac had just reached the Nantahala Outdoor Center, just two weeks into her hike.

The other part was recorded a few weeks after she finished her hike.

Pox has poison ivy.

Puss has pants problems.

And boy oh boy, we ALL get a surprise when Frozen Mac is walking on the streets of NYC.

Enjoy!

53 - Ryan Singer & The Paranormal Part 1

This week we talk about the spooky-scary things that can happen in the woods.

Pox talks with Ryan Singer, a stand-up comedian who hosts a podcast about the Paranormal.

Some of these things can give you the Heebie Jeebies!

Also, it has been a very busy few weeks along the Appalachian Trail:

A fire rips thru historic Harper's Ferry.

Scott Jurek set a new speed record and makes some news on top of Katahdin.

And the search for missing hiker Inchworm enters its second year

The Hale Bop Comet Cult makes an appearance.

It turns out Pox and his Wife's "song" is a scene from The Simpsons.

51 - Trail Days 2015

Welcome to our third annual Trail Days show!

If you’ve heard our past Trail Days episodes, you know this is not our typical show.
Every year we set up our 10x10 tent in front of MoJoe’s Trail Side Café so we can meet and interview thru-hikers.
For some reason this year the crowds on the North side of town were a little bit thin.
Usually you can hear people all around us, talking, shouting, playing some weird instrument.
We’re always able to grab a few people from the crowd so we can talk with them.
This year…not so much.
Luckily we had two people lined up to talk with us; our Australian friend “Superfeet” and long-time P&P listener “Too Loud”.

Here are a few things we talk about in this episode:
Venomous vs. Poisonous

Paul Hogan throws a shrimp on the barbie

 Jermaine from Outback

A Trail Angel named Courtesy stops by to say hello

Another Episode where Pox’s Heart Grew Three Sizes!

Australians Love Lamb

Bears in the Smokies decimate some section hiker backpacks

Bay Pride!

“Too Loud” runs into a turkey.

Puss tells us about her “5 Hour Energy” routine.

Obviously I have barbecue and food on my mind in this episode….sorry.

You’ll hear us talk with people off mic as they come up to say hello or buy a t-shirt.

Please visit  AppTrials, sign up for the Thru-Hiker register, and when you’ve completed the trail, send Zach Good Badger Davis your summit photo so we can share it  with the world.

Leave a 5-Star Review on iTunes & Stitcher.
