About this listen

This episode is a recap of and marks the show’s first major adventure — a five-day overland journey spanning Utah, Arizona, and Nevada following the recording of Trail Hero: Expeditions, a new offroad reality show. The crew reflects on what it took to pull off such a massive expedition from cast to crew, from long travel days and desert heat to the rewarding moments around camp. Listeners will hear stories of breathtaking sunrise views at the Grand Canyon, challanging moments, and the lessons learned while navigating new terrain. This episode captures our side of the Trail Hero Expeditions story — the behind-the-scenes chaos, the laughs, and the moments that tied it all together — before we hand the mic to the individual teams whose interviews will roll out over the coming weeks.
