Starting January 1, 2026, we’ve got some big BLISTER+ updates: we’ve heard your requests, and we’ve been able to add an additional 20 outdoor activities to BLISTER+, bringing the number up to 50 outdoor activities that are covered globally. So Jonathan Ellsworth and Kristin Sinnott discuss that, then talk about the 2026 Blister Summit that’s happening at Snowbird on April 13, 2026.

Note: We Want to Hear From You!

It’s hard to believe, but this week marks the 10th anniversary of the Blister Podcast. So to celebrate this milestone, we thought we’d share some of the highlights, lowlights, and crazy factoids about how this podcast came to be; how it led to the creation of the Blister Podcast Network; and what the next 10 years might look like.
