podcasting. Through this podcast, we invite you to join us by the campfire for conversations with interesting, accomplished, and inspiring people from the trail running and environmental space. Each month, we will sit down with someone for a trail chat and get to know them better.

The Wild Places team has been hosting trail chats since October 2022, when there were live Zoom conversations between our guests, host and community. Over two years and 24 trail chats, we've had some absolutely stellar discussions with a slew of exciting and inspiring people. But we felt these conversations needed to be heard by more people, which is why we've decided to transition to podcast format.

chats. Over the next few months, you can look forward to hearing from accomplished athletes, shoe designers, photographers and through hikers from across the world. But because it's been a hot minute since we last chatted to some of our guests, we've checked in to see what's gone down in the years or months since we last talked.

Speaker
So if this sounds like your bag, then hit subscribe on whatever podcast platform you're listening to us on. And we'll be back in your feed very soon with our first trial chat. I also wanted to shout out Lara Hamilton, Epic Athlete and Dynamic DJ for putting together our podcast Intro Music and Delinda Schneider for giving this podcast a visual identity through her awesome design work. For Wild Places is a volunteer powered organization and everything we do wouldn't be possible without the dedication and passion of our incredible volunteers. Until next time, happy trails. And as always, thank you for taking the time for Wild Places.
