Trip it to Me

Kurt is back! Kurt wrote a book! Kurt is going to hike all of New Zealand again! We love Kurt! His book, It's a Straightforward Walk from Here: Thru-Hiking Te Araroa, came out over a year ago and is all about hiking the TA. We discuss the writing process, some favorite moments from the book and what it was like to self-publish! We also discuss Te Araroa, including what makes it special and difficult. As usual Kurt is full of insights and wisdom and the discussion is wide ranging. Before all of that, we Muppets Recast A Knight's Tale, talk about other books and review Digger! We hope you enjoy this episode! You can find Kurt's book through this link!

Against all odds, Shelby and Andrew continue their alphabet itineraries. This week they conquer the letter W, talking about Washington state where they have both lived. Much of the discussion centers around Seattle before branching out. Before that they Muppets Recast Obsession and talk through a few movies. As always, it's a totally normal episode.

News is always heavy. News was heavy last week. Why not take a break with Shelby and Andrew to hear about some of the things that have been bringing them joy and smiles lately? They also do a Muppets Recast, talk about a few foreign movies and dive into Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

We love it when the alphabet itineraries intersect with actual trip planning! Shelby and Andrew continue planning out their trip to Italy by talking about Venice and all of the amazing places they want to go in the city. They also talk about a book, movies, and have a special Muppets Recast in honor of Tim Curry.

Dear gentle listener, we've returned from a short hiatus to bring you another award winning episode. There's lots to catch up on, Shelby and Andrew have been busy! They also get into some different travel questions. Enjoy!
