What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This podcast has sparked a lot of curiosity in me regarding trail running and endurance races. The guests usually aren't elite athletes, which I find enjoyable since their experiences juggling training with normal life commitments are often pretty relatable to what many of us face. Looking forward to many more episodes and discovering inspiring runners through this show!

Great content, interesting guests who are mostly non-elite, with banter that can wander all over, in a good way! Love the PNW focus of some episodes as well.

NickVashon · Mar 2022

These guys are passionate about running-- and that's cool--but I come back weekly for the casual banter, public land advocacy, and no BS attitudes. It's truly enjoyable to hear the variety each week and the hilarious antics around such topics as short shorts, buns, and obnoxious clothing.

After meeting one of the ruggedly handsome hosts on a local trail and getting some tips on running, I figured I could give the podcast a try. Full disclosure: I am not a talk-radio fan and usually lose interest in podcasts after a few minutes... but not so with Single Track! From the first one I listened to, I was hooked! The guys are so real; it feels like I’m sitting at a local hikers’ hangout listening to these guys bantering and I keep inching closer to overhear more of their epic conversation. The kind of people you want to walk over to and buy them beers to keep them talking (and perhaps get lucky enough to join them). Educated, witty, and passionate about their outdoors lives. What an amazing show! I’ve learned a lot about the area by listening to several episodes now (which has surprised me as I am a Pacific Northwest local), picked up some practical tips on running, and even tried out listening to them while I went on a run (it was a nice break from my usual music playlist). The personable way they connect with each other and their audience and the quirky outdoor humor has me wanting more and more. From a listener perspective, this is the kind of podcast I will always enjoy. Sometimes I pause segments to ponder a point, or more often I have to backtrack because I’ve laughed out loud and lost whatever came next. It’s easy to engage with the topics and keeps my attention. Even the creativity in the titles can elicit a chuckle as I click through to the next episode. Highly recommended!
