Urban hiker and author Alexandra "Sunshine" Kenin sits down with Doc for some studio time. Settle in and buckle up as Sunshine discusses urban hiking in and around San Francisco, her tour company Urban Hikers SF, stairway poems, mapping 1,000+ stairways, reps on the steps, huge stopwatches, Type B aspirations, veggie sausages, the Urban Trails trilogy, the Grand Pacheco, Oakhurst Stairs, the Dragon's Back, Vitamin I, the Great Saunter, and all the adventures just outside your door. Epic. (This is Part I. Be sure to listen to Part II.)
