What's up everybody and welcome back to Gear 30 on the Blister Podcast Network, where we are

0:10.4

very proudly based out of Elevation Hotel right here in Crested Butte, Colorado.

0:16.7

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

0:22.7

we're doing and reviewing over at blisterreview.com and on our YouTube channels, Blister Review

0:30.2

and Blister Studios.
