“Listen to the pod when at work. Working as a bus driver doesnt give me the amount of free time I wish I could have and this pod allows me to experience nature in a land far away from me. I keep on dreaming of the nature I can hear others talk about and feel good when going for my small hikes in...”Read full review »

“I was on the brink of total collapse, my wife threatened to leave me, even my own dog wouldn’t look me in the eyes anymore. But after I started listening to this podcast every day, my hair grew back, I lost 100 pounds, my wife and dog began to respect me, and my boss hired me to replace him as...”Read full review »

“I started listening to this podcast a few months ago. Not bad hiking and trail advice and commentary at first in older podcasts yet recently getting off topic and just talking about YouTube and podcasting- nothing about backpacking. Podcast is becoming a waste of time for me. Overrated. Thought...”Read full review »

“I find it extremely hard to find a podcast where I like the host and what they talk about, and this podcast is great! It’s fun to listen to, even if you get off topic it’s about hiking/outside/nature related things and not just going off topic and talking about like randomly football or other...”Read full review »

“Doing a podcast is not as easy as it seems. Kyle does a very good job with Trail Tales. If you’re not into hiking, this pod is probably not for you. But if you have been bitten by the hiking bug, this is a great way to relax and soak in the trail experiences and memories when you can’t be on the...”Read full review »

We stayed on the trail!)We’ve since thru hiked the NPT and cranberry lake and section hiked some of the AT....”Read full review »

“I have just started to listen to the Pod after hearing Kyle’s episode on backpacker radio. Although I feel his interviewing skills could improve, I’ve overall enjoyed listening to this podcast. BUT… the titles KILL ME!! Listening to an hour+ long podcast is not the same as wasting 15 minutes...”Read full review »

I get sponsoring is necessary, and I don’t mind the usual ads made by Kyle, but these...”Read full review »

Kyle has no culture or sense of hardship so when he interjects in the middle of his guests telling a story it becomes such a vibe killer. In doing...”Read full review »
