We interrupt your normally scheduled Backpacker Radio content to bring you a sneak peak of a brand new podcast launched by The Trek in partnership with BadCat Media, called, The Attempt.\xa0\xa0 \xa0 The Attempt follows Benjamin Drachman during his *attempted* SOBO thru-hike of the PCT in 2019.\xa0 The show is produced by Julia Drachman- and no that last name is not a coincidence, Julia is Ben's older sister.\xa0 What may shock you about this show is its production value.\xa0 And by that, I mean, it has production value.\xa0 We're all about trying new things here at The Trek. \xa0 In other words, if This American Life and Trail Correspondents had a baby, this podcast would be that baby. \xa0 Instead of further explaining what this show is, let's give you a Costco sample size for you to chew on.\xa0 As soon as I shut the hell up, you'll get the first episode of this show.\xa0 If you like what you hear, I encourage you to head to the thetrek.co/theattempt to find more episodes (the first three are already out) or simply search for "The Attempt" in your preferred podcast platform. \xa0 GET ALL OF THE EPISODES HERE \xa0 THE ATTEMPT on iTunes THE ATTEMPT on Google Play THE ATTEMPT on Stitcher
