Wood chopping is objectively awful for all the obvious reasons: blisters, back aches, over-the-counter painkiller expenses. But that’s not what you remember months later, when the fruits of your labor warm you and your loved ones on a cold winter nig... more

Spend time outdoors, and you’ll eventually spend time in brutal, even scary weather. Dangerous winds, flash flood-inducing rain, and vision-erasing whiteouts are sometimes the cost of entry. By the same token, you’re as likely to remember the upsides... more

  • Outside Podcast is no longer for the outdoor community. The podcast used to be true outdoor adventure stories, interviews with world class endurance athletes, and survival stories. Now, the podcast consists of interviews with tik tok influencers, C-list celebrities, and promoting the Outside Festival. Just as they did with the Warren Miller ski films, the current leadership at Outside has tried to mass commercialize their product while alienating their core customers--the outdoor community.

  • Used to be a great show…

    I used to love this show, but the new host is just insufferable. He talks over the guests, making it feel like every episode is about him/his interests rather than the truly amazing people being interviewed.

  • What happened? Why?

    This used to be one of my favorite outdoor podcasts. For years I looked forward to the exciting, inspiring stories and informative topical discussions. Now, with the change of hosts, the format has lost all of that. I keep trying to listen to each new episode, but I’m generally just marking them as played a few minutes in and moving on. Not sure how much longer it will be worth room in my library.
