We’ve all day dreamed about it – becoming a pro. What would it be like?

We call it living the dream. And it’s good work if you can get it. But, how do you get the gig? And is it really all that it’s cracked up to be? Zack Giffin and Timmy O’Neill share their stories of finding the spotlight and moving beyond it.

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.
