I don’t hike and I’m not an outdoors person, but this podcast has inspired me. The interviews cover hikers of all experience level and age, so it’s appealing to a broad audience. Mighty Blue delivers great trail stories, interviews, personal experiences, and insights. It’s a “must-listen” for...Read full review »

for me, a very moving moment is when this woman starts to cry because the gentleman has a podcast spoke to her via phone when she was in Maine, and she didn't believe herself, but she can finish gets here is so beautiful and thanks to his encouragement believe in her she did. I didn't...Read full review »

I find this podcast to be meditative. It’s all positive energy which is becoming a rare commodity these days…

I recently stumbled onto this show - although I’ve never met Steve, I feel like I’ve known him forever. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to pull together what it takes for a through-hike, but my wife and I are planning our first section hike soon. Steve I love your style of narrating and your...Read full review »

I stumbled upon this podcast because every now & then I re-address my desire to hike through the AT. After listening to several of the episodes, I’ve decided to start training (today!) and plan for hiking it next year. Not sure when I’ll begin but I’m going to do it. I’ve even got a trail...Read full review »

I heard of Mighty Blue from the Hammock Hangers podcast. Now I listen everyday to and from work. I started hammock camping and have a renewed interest in camping (tents kill me). And out of no where I got this weird interest in backpacking. I don’t even hike, or didn’t. I have gathered some cheap...Read full review »

I tuned in this morning to listen to whom I thought would be my son - who forgot to tell me his interview was pushed out. No worries, I enjoy listening to all MB’s episodes. Zach Cross was the main hiker interviewed. What an amazing story. So inspiring. Way to go Zach. Reach out when you get to...Read full review »

What a fantastic podcast! I started listening to the podcast after it had been out for a couple years, so I am playing catch-up. But so far (around 100 episodes in), all I can say is what a fantastic podcast. Great host and great guests. Definitely gets you in the head space of hiking of any...Read full review »

One of those podcasts that gets played as soon as it’s released… it’s real, it’s honest, ‘handled with aplomb’ a great way to ‘checkout’ from a crazy world & remembering what’s important

Look forward to each episode. Thanks for being, Mighty Blue🫶🏻

An insightful and inspiring podcast for all hikers and hikers-to-be. Better than a walk in the woods. :)

I love your podcasts! I am trying to find the one with Cookie Monster and her husband. He bragged about her food so much that I wanted to look up her recipes but I can no longer find the podcast. Can you help please. Thank you for all the work you do on your podcasts!

Recently found this podcast and I am enjoying every episode. I love the combination of interviews with experienced hikers with the reading of Steve’s book. I am binge listening as fast as I can!
alpe129 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/20/22
What a well done show! Steve is so well prepared and engaging. He could cary a show on any topic, I believe. I’m glad he chose the AT and hiking - very inspiring and encouraging.
lmcmillan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/23/22
Whether you’re a rabid thru hiker or just a day hiker in your own mind, Steve’s show is a great listen. He has a wide variety of hikers and gear suppliers as guests, and provides ideas and options for your outdoor and trail life. His self-effacing presentation is entertaining and gives you the...Read full review »

Thanks Mighty Blue for the opportunity to talk with you about my 2020 AT Thru Hike! It is an honor to be on your show. Hope your hike is going well! PTL!

Great interview with our worthy leader, Trail Dust. Much love from the first 2 women in 2012, “Laverne and Shirley”.

Many many many, years ago I read a book about the Appalachian trail. I had a desire to hike it but life got in the way & time passed. Now at 77 with frail bones it isn’t possible. But I do love listening to you & your guest. Karen
@karenbeymer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/10/21
This is one of the first podcasts I found when I was researching hiking the trail. I grew up hiking the New Hampshire main part of the trail never thought I do the whole thing. Now that I’m close to retirement I’m getting ready to do it. These podcasts our inspiration for us OG’s
bixxxbixxx via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/21
The stories, accomplishments, and struggles of the hikers interviewed are often inspiring, funny, and insightful. Steve, the host, is thoughtful in his interviews and makes each of them interesting. While I don’t hike, I never miss a show. Recently, I found his Hiking Radio Network and have...Read full review »

Initially I'd have rated this 4.5 (if i could give 1/2 stars) but the host became so annoying for me I now rate it 3 (3.5 if I could). The structure of the podcast, with several short info type sections, a main interview with a hiker and the bonus of essentially an audio book over several...Read full review »

Steve Adams (“Mighty Blue”) is a must listen of you’re at all interested in the hiking community in general and/or the Appalachian Trail in particular. His inciteful questions draw-out the guests and make each show something truly special! Plus, he has a cool accent!
Captain CG Host via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/15/21
Exactly what I was looking for. AT and beyond. Tips and tricks! Perfect balance of history, tips, and host/guest experiences.

This podcast has gotten me through physical therapy for knee issues, dog walks, meal cooking and dish washing. I’ll keep going now as I attempt to prepare for a section hike of the Foothills Trail this fall with my husband. We are just a few years years you get than Mighty Blue, and this podcast...Read full review »

Great podcast. I listen when I hike! Not the AT that’s too long. But I dig this podcast!
billy t franklin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/27/21
Great podcast. Just a quick comment on the subject of monies received by the PCTA to find their management of the PCT. Given the money received by the association which I understand runs into millions, wouldn’t it be constructive for the PCTA to put some of that money into water tanks (as near as...Read full review »

Great job Ryan. I look forward to your input. As always, a great show. I look forward to this each week. Thanks Mighty Blue for providing a great transition!
Tuonogeargirl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/01/21
A friend encouraged me to listen in and I’ve been hooked for about 6 months. Look forward to each week! I got to share a story with Steve aka Mighty Blue and it was a lot of fun. Enjoy listening in my car!
ronellehiker via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/30/21
it was many years ago I stumbled across the AT whilst out in NH visiting friends, as we were near Hanover it led me to learn about Bill Bryson. A trip to a local book store starting my love of this trail, A Walk in the Woods was just the beginning. We skip forward over 20 years, podcasts hit...Read full review »

I just discovered Steve’s podcast and I’ve treated like a new show I love on Netflix and binge “watched”! I’m up to episode 7 in 24 hours! I’m inspired - retiring next year at age 58 and have long dreamed of this adventure and the stories and tips have convinced me I can do this! Thanks Steve! So...Read full review »

I’ve been going back and listening to Mighty Blue’s 2019 thru hike episodes and it’s such a treat. He is honest and thorough and interviews some super interesting people. You feel like you’re having a conversation with a friend. Thankful for this amazing podcast!

I'm in the process of listening to the entire catalogue of episodes. Though I'm only a quarter of the way through them, I can't say enough as to how enjoyable I'm finding this podcast. Mighty Blue and his guests are engaging and all share that same passion for the AT that draws...Read full review »

Great podcast. He does a fantastic job with it. Well worth the time to listen
30Bramble via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/01/20
I discovered your podcasts by accident while doing a training hike for section hikes of the AT. Ironically I listened as I was going up my steepest climb of the day and you were talking about how strenuous hiking the AT was. You give real world explanations of the physical, mental and financial...Read full review »

I have only begun to listen to Steve’s story and interviews. As an aspiring thru hiker and a near member of AARP, I appreciate his candor and humor at tackling this tremendous feat. Looking forward to lots of hours being inspired and educated to take my first step on the trail. Thanks, Steve.
UncoverMyEyes via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/20
This is a podcast about people and stories. Mighty Blue, the host, is just a nice and engaging guy. He also seems like an interesting guy who has a talent for finding the interesting aspects of anyone’s life. I don’t think that this is a podcast about hiking in so much as it is a podcast about...Read full review »

Mighty Blue does a great job engaging his guests. I have been keeping up with the current episodes and going back to the beginning and catching up the older shows in chronological order so that I can listen to the reading at the end of each show and can follow where he is at on a map. The stories...Read full review »

I’ve been a regular listener for a few years now, but just finished my first section of the AT. I wouldn’t have done it without listening to this podcast every week. Thank you Steve (and guests) for making the trail approachable. I’m a middle aged mom with a sense of adventure and listening to...Read full review »
Amanda from NOLA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/15/20
I love your podcasts but I do wish the interviews were separate episodes from your book. I understand having them combined but I get into different moods where I’ll very much want to listen to your interviews or solely listen to your book. That’s just my thought. Overall though, I really enjoy...Read full review »
