Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

"We survived the trek. We did it! We're about a day late and three llamas short, but we made it off the Cordillera Blanca." One last unplanned climb, a dusty seven-mile descent, a taxi that (miraculously) shows up on time with no cell service in sight, and a well-earned pizza celebration in Huaraz before the long bus ride to Lima. Roughly 70 miles and nine days after Cashapampa, Tent Talk signs off.

Tent Talk is an immersive backpacking podcast hosted by sisters Audrey (Mountain Goat) and Haley (GPS, One More Mile Marshall, and Dr. Dolittle). Each season follows one epic, multi-day wilderness trek, recorded from their sleeping bags every single night on the trail. Tune in for the real, unedited side of backcountry life, one campsite at a time.

Season 1: The Alpamayo Circuit follows the sisters’ grueling, high-altitude journey through Peru’s breathtaking Cordillera Blanca. Over nine days inside Huascarán National Park, they battle steep passes, stunning alpine views, and the realities of the trail.
