A 1st-person documentary chronicling a year in the narrator’s life. He is Andrew Steven — out of shape, preparing for an arduous month-long hike, and coping with family loss. It’s an audio diary, essentially, enlivened by interviews with authors, experts, Olympians, and special guests. Two 30-second prerolls: AT&T and Hotels.com.
