Ritch Henderson hails from the poverty-stricken hills of Northern Alabama. As a child, he struggled to learn his place in a world with very limited social mobility. Henderson found a means of self-expression in writing poetry and music at a very early age. Out of high school, Ritch enlisted in the US Marine Corps in hopes of escaping small town life. After finding himself in Afghanistan at only 19 years old, Henderson struggled for the better part of a decade coping with post-traumatic stress through self-medication. Thankfully, he has found solace performing in intimate clubs and venues across the Southeast and the Midwest.

I am excited to finally expand my horizons into the podcasting world. While I've enjoyed sharing my backpacking journeys over the years (and will continue to do so), I am looking forward to delving into new topics like health and longevity, self-sufficiency, overcoming hardships and more. I hope you enjoy this new adventure with me!
