Summary

I was first contacted by today's guest, Ryan Schlosser, when he was preparing for his 2020 thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail earlier this year. Ryan's mother is a friend of my friend and hiking partner, Pat Coate, or Tee Bird. Ryan's hike was a school project (imagine that!!) and he needed to record his progress. Pat thought I might be able to help him and a new podcaster was born.

I listened to his early progress, then stopped getting updates. He went radio silent in response to the growing pandemic. Eventually, when things eased up a little, he was back online and still heading north.

You can learn more about Ryan's story on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/walkingtalkingpod

on his website at http://www.ryanschlosser.com/

and at "Walking and Talking: An Appalachian Trail Thru-Hike" wherever you find your podcasts.

Bill Tickner is loving his southbound hike, and he is now through both Connecticut and New York, having savored the delis AND a drive-in movie.

Fozzie is preparing to drive back to Trail Days. First, though, he recalls the story of the Wapiti Shelter.

1:22.9	However, there has been a casualty this week. In my main interview with this week's guest, Ryan Schlosser, he just couldn't hear me at all. As usual, I'd set myself up this time in my new closet, turned on the recording software, and I could see and hear Ryan. But my microphone just wouldn't work. It was plugged in. I didn't change the settings and I just couldn't work it out of what I done wrong.
