“I know Rudy has a life outside of hiking, but I miss the more frequent episodes. Love his laid back but enthusiastic style, the kind of a guy you’d like to meet on the trail. The music episodes were fun too. I replay them sometimes when going up a tough section of trail. Thanks Rudy!”

“Rudy is the type of guy who both actively preserves the wilderness we enjoy and explores it himself. We first crossed paths as fellow PCTA volunteers and he welcomed me back from my recent Thru hike of the PCT with a knowing wisdom of the post trail experience.

“I’m just really not a fan of the host’s affect. There’s an FM radio DJ vibe that rubs me the wrong way and the interviews are often very awkward - made up of that insipid breed of generic questions that only ever elicit generic answers.
Occasionally a guest will break through and make things...”Read full review »
