“Julia Drachman’s love for her younger brother, Benjamin, shines through in this wonderful and playful story she tells (well, so does he…) that documents Benjamin’s 2019 effort to complete a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail! Julia has a knack of weeding through audio recordings that Benjamin made throughout his five month journey from the Canadian border, south to the Mexican border, and finds those nuggets of truth that illustrate this adventure which very few people would even take on. Benjamin’s stories include times of unbridled joys, difficult hardships, long days, beautiful vistas, and along the way he shares how the PCT has changed his perspective in many areas of his life. Having an older sister myself, what I found delightful were the revelations into her brother’s heart and mind that Julia could recognize as she listened to his recordings and imagined him encountering these new experiences. This podcast flows along quickly and will leave you with smiles, some laughs, and good feelings as we all celebrate Benjamin’s “attempt” and see it come to fruition with new insights he learned along the way. I didn’t want it to end!”
