- Welcome back Peter!
I’ve been a great fan of your work. I liked the cougar story and I’m looking forward to hearing more from you. I now hear that you are leaving again. I will miss you! Good luck in your future endeavors. I’m also really enjoying Paddy O. I like that he dives into the psychology of outdoor adventure. I’m a senior, almost life-long Alaskan, who has been outdoor-adventuring my whole life.
Here’s an idea from my life: how does a person manage to age gracefully and/or become chronically sick and stil... more

Read by a robot. Seriously?
Apple Podcasts2ProchazkaUnited States19 days ago - Why use AI, Outside?
I have been an Outside reader and listener for years. Really disappointed in the use of AI for the recent episode about Yellowstone. Paddy-O opens with “I bet you won’t even notice this is a robot.” Well, I did. I do notice any time AI is used to read a writers work. Drew Magary would have been a great narrator for his own work… the blatant, unregulated use of AI has no place in a podcast dedicated to the outdoors. The infrastructure required to host AI is actively destructive to our natural wor... more
Apple Podcasts1cactuswaxUnited States19 days ago - AI narrators
Super disappointed to hear Outside using an AI voice to narrate an article on this podcast. It does not sound human and does a real disservice to the author of the piece.
Apple Podcasts3kpinbkUnited States20 days ago - Why use a robot narrator?
I was very interested in listening to the recent Yellowstone episode. Why did you have a robot read it instead of a real person? I’m sure there’s someone out there willing to read for 18 minutes. Intern? College student? Volunteer? I didn’t listen, but I appreciate the warning in advance so I can turn it off. :(
