Hey everybody, welcome to the Blister podcast, a program dedicated to interesting people, the great outdoors, and a bunch of other stuff we like.

I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, the founder of Blister, and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over at blisterreview.com, and that includes our 2021 winter buyers guide, which you should

definitely check out. And you will also be able to find there the newest deals and see all of the

other benefits that we have for our blister members. And so to check all of that out, just go to blisterreview.com and click on

And then we are going to conclude each episode by talking about some of the best things
