Triple Crowner, author, and musician Shayla "Kiddo" Paradeis drops into the studio to touch on some big topics and talk about her evolution as a hiker and a person. Settle in and buckle up as this former musical theater kid walks out of a Broadway audition and never looks back. Kiddo shares some stories from her 18,000 trail miles, and along the way, you'll hear about angry hikers, Stealth Donkey, the problem with pushing miles, the joys of solo hiking, hissy fits on the CDT, resonating, expectations, her Hiker Trash Moment, and the answer to the age-old question, which is more difficult: theater boot camp or the CDT? Epic.
