With Gear Abby you won't get an ounce of shame or gear snobbery. It's just unfiltered advice, honest conversations, and the occasional 'WTF' moment in the wild. Hosted by outdoor journalist and adventure junkie Shawnté Salabert, this show answers the real questions you’re too embarrassed to ask out loud.

And if Shawnté doesn’t have the answer? She’ll drag in someone who does. Whether you hike, paddle, run, or just want to feel less weird in REI - Gear Abby’s your new outdoor bestie. Gear Abby. Because there are no dumb questions. Just smart advice.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-05T08:22:05.322389+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/gear-abby-an-outdoor-advice-column-for-your-ears-7463155"},"episode":{"title":"Goobies, Boobies & Bike Rides","slug":"goobies-boobies-bike-rides","published_at":"2026-05-29T17:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/gear-abby-an-outdoor-advice-column-for-your-ears-7463155/goobies-boobies-bike-rides","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/gear-abby-an-outdoor-advice-column-for-your-ears-7463155","url":"https://www.rockfight.co/","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/67eb47d8-07b4-4f1e-b1e8-dade9ba52e4a.mp3","summary":"Big Titty Mountain.
