Fifty Episodes Later

It’s a big day on Shawn & Mike Take A Hike—we’re celebrating our 50th episode! Join us as we take a laid-back walk down memory lane, revisiting some of our favorite moments, biggest laughs, and most surprising lessons since starting this podcast about backpacking and hiking for beginners. From the gear we loved (and some we didn’t), to the trail stories that still make us laugh, we’re getting personal and reflective about what it’s been like to create a podcast filled with amateur hiking advice for amateur hikers.

In this special milestone episode, we also share behind-the-scenes stories, listener feedback that stuck with us, and how the show has shaped our own hiking journeys. Whether you’ve been with us since episode one or are just discovering the podcast, this is a great opportunity to learn more about what we’ve learned, what we’re still figuring out, and where Shawn & Mike Take A Hike is headed next.

So lace up those boots and celebrate 50 episodes of missteps, milestones, and memorable moments on the trail—with your favorite pair of amateur hikers.
