  • Get Out There When You’re Not

    The variety of guests and topics on this podcast are incredibly helpful and inspiring and give an educational perspective on different aspects of the outdoors, the challenges that LGBTQ people may experience, and the encouragement and hope people need to get into nature. I am connected to the outdoors even when I’m listening in my car or in my home. I’m out there, even when I’m not. Keep bringing us valuable content!
