Hey everybody, welcome back to Gear 30 on the Blister Podcast Network, where we are very proudly based out of Elevation Hotel right here in Crested, Butte, Colorado.

I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, the founder of Blister, and you, as always, can check out everything we're doing

and reviewing over at blisterreview.com and on our YouTube channels, Blister Review and Blister Studios.

Okay, today we've got a very different kind of Gear 30 episode for you. We are bringing forward some big changes

that we are thinking of making to our massive Winter Buyers Guide. So I am here talking with

Luke Kappa and Kristen Sinat. And to kick things off, we're going to talk about what is staying the same,

what is not going to be changing about our buyer's guide. And then we are going to talk about

some of the big changes that we are considering. So give this a listen. And at the end,

we really encourage you to respond, as we say, we should have a poll up for you.

But we also encourage you to send in your emails.

And we're going to try to find a couple other ways, maybe in our newsletter, hitting up our digital access pass subscribers and our

Blister Plus members. We are going to make sure that you've had a chance to weigh in.

And how you weigh in is going to dictate how we move forward, really. So I think you're going to

enjoy this one. And it was a good chance to kind of

pull back the curtain on a whole lot of things we've been thinking about and talking about

for quite a long time around here. All right now, I want to give a shout out to a few of our

newest Blister Plus members. That includes Nate in Jackson, Alaska, Hudson in Spring, Texas, John in Breckenridge,

Colorado, Jack in New South Wales, Australia.

Because yes, Blister Plus works everywhere in the world, folks.

We've got Teresa in Eugene, Oregon, Dan in LaGrand, Oregon.

And finally for today, we get to welcome Lady in Oceanside, California.

So folks, if you haven't checked it out yet, we'll include a link to Blister Plus.
