In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, we bring you our first ever LIVE podcast.\xa0 And by that, we mean it was live to the fine folks who joined us at the Hop Haus in Fitchburg, Wisconsin on October 15th.\xa0 There's no way to describe this episode other than...rowdy.\xa0 If you want to feel like you were in the room with us, we recommend grabbing a blue ribbon or two and maybe an old-fashioned to boot.\xa0\xa0
