The Trailhead an Offroad Show

by JD Marshall & The Trailhead Network

Host JD Marshall brings you The Trailhead, the podcast where everyday wheelers, weekend warriors, and die-hard off-roaders come together to share stories, tackle tough topics, and celebrate the wild world of wheeling. From epic trail tales and gear talk to land use issues and community spotlights, JD and his rotating crew of guests bring real conversations from the dirt. Whether you're wrenching in the garage or out on the trail, this is your spot to connect with off-roaders from every corner, to laugh, and remember to stay the trail.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I was turned on to this podcast by a coworker, and I must say this latest episode was incredibly fun and entertaining! Y’all are a riot to listen to together. Will be a continued listener!

Jared - GC · Jul 2025

This is one of my most favorite unscripted podcasts in the internet. Your host JD is exactly in person as he is on the podcast: Perfectly unprepared and chaotic. But we wouldn’t have it any other way. This podcast is authentic and a real behind the scenes look at off-roading. Just remember to always air down when driving in sand.

33’s and never stuck · Jul 2025

Great cast of hosts that always keeps listeners entertained. Love the semi-unstructured format that feels like a group of friends shooting the breeze around a campfire. Also enjoy that there’s not any corporate sponsorships/overtones being constantly shoved down your throat. Grab a drink and your camp chair and have a good time.

Al.Long · May 2024

I don’t know how they locked down Nathan as their Assistant Producer, but he’s killing it. The podcast is both entertaining and educational. A must for anyone interested in off-road.
