Executive Intern, Dave O'Leary and I spent some time chatting with participants of the The 2025 Stony-Kiski-Conemaugh Rivers Sojourn, which ran from Thursday, June 5, to Sunday, June 8. The sojourn showcases the entire river valley in a spectacular four day, 44-mile float on the Stonycreek, Conemaugh, and Kiskiminetas Rivers. From Johnstown to Apollo. If this sounds like something you would like to try, you can find more info at:

Steve Podratsky is the office manager and a physical therapist at the Somerset branch of Western Pennsylvania Sports Medicine. We took the show on the road to visit him at his home to chat about outdoor rec related injuries, what you can do to prevent them, and how to rehab yourself if you DO find yourself having to recover from an injury.

I've never met someone who gets as excited about the outdoors like Joe Brosky. He and his wife visited every State Park and Forrest, after which he penned a FANTASTIC book. I seriously could have talked to Joe for hours! He has a couple of speaking dates coming up, and he'll have books for sale at the first two events, but not at the last two.
