Author, journalist, and cross country coach Johanna "Press Pass" Garton sits down with Doc in the studio to talk about different kinds of journeys. Settle in and buckle up as Press Pass discusses high-altitude research, her non-negotiables, hypoxia, the weight of writing others' stories, Mountain Madness, Christine Boskoff, Wisconsin mountaineers, sporty women, and the emotional journey of picking up the project that her mother started 10 years before. Epic. (This is Part II. Be sure to listen to Part I.)
