We have a double-shot from Fitz Cahall and the Dirtbag Diaries to start your week. First up is the Banff Mountain Film & Book Festival interview I promised you last Friday (sorry, the Tea Fire had me preoccupied) between Fitz and Jennifer Lowe-Anker. Then, we have a new listener-recorded “The Shorts” episode of the Dirtbag Diaries where Colorado-based writer Brendan Leonard talks about becoming a bicycle devotee.

Our thoughts and best wishes go out to everyone in Southern California who’ve been affected by the recent fires. And we heartily thank all of the men and women who bravely fought the fires, the authorities who helped maintain order and the volunteers who assisted their fellow man.

Have a good week everybody.

The Dirtbag Diaries

The campfire tale—it’s ubiquitous in mountain culture. As long as we’ve climbed, skied, boated or traveled, we’ve been telling stories. In March of 2007, Fitz Cahall launched The Dirtbag Diaries, a grassroots podcast dedicated to the sometimes serious, often humorous stories from wild places. What began as a solitary experiment has evolved into a collaboration between writers, photographers, artists and listeners to produce the types of stories that rarely find homes in the glossy pages of magazines.
