Story

This is my second podcast.  It’s a spinoff of Beautiful Places In HD.  Our thinking was that Beautiful Places was all about the place, and showing the place with minimal distraction.  Beautiful Places: Hiking shows you how to get to the beautiful places.  There’s much more of me in the hiking show: I introduce the hike and cut to a cool 3D map that shows the trail with the hills and valleys clearly visible.  Then I talk about the difficulty of the trail and special things you will need on the trail.   I show some trail hiking shots that let you get a feel for the terrain and then stop for a break and discuss a piece of gear or a hiking tip.  The Crater Lake show discusses shoe/boot selection and yes, I brought all five pairs of my  trail footwear with me.  The Mount Saint Helens show discusses trekking poles, why you should always use them and how to select your pair.  I then move on with a few more hiking shots and get to the destination where I show some Beautiful Places-like shots.  I then say goodbye until the next hike.  It’s a great show and I am very proud of it.  I think once it comes out, it will be just as popular as Beautiful Places.

The image above is from the media kit for the show.  You can download the whole thing here: Beautiful Places: Hiking Media Kit.  If you know someone in marketing for a hiking/outdoor related industry, pass it along.  This is a great opportunity for a company to be involved in a podcast that is of professional quality and will be the top podcast in it’s class.
