  • Background music ⛔️

    Idk if it’s just me but it’s impossible to focus with the background tones and notes.

  • 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.

  • Maybe keep it focused on OUTSIDE topics?

    Tired of the politics and not sure how this last episode about emojis seriously got released. How embarrassing. The host is also terrible. Hard not to cringe at at least one of his comments every episode.

  • It’s “to wit” not “to whit”

    Welp, spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to give this feedback in a less obnoxious way, but I couldn’t find one. PROOF YOUR COPY. It’s sad that the magazine that launched Jon Krakauer into the mainstream is making dumb mistakes like this. Do you all want to speak from a position of trusted authority or not? Sheesh.

  • The podcast was great before Paddy O took over. Now it's the host making huge reactions more than listening to his guest. I can't take more of his laughing hysterically just to be the most important person in the room. Then he said two women's greatest accomplishments were giving birth when they were Ironman champions and finishing 100 mile races. Take your misogyny somewhere else.

Anniversary Special!!! - Why Outdoorsy People Are The Funniest People, With Scott Losse
Q: First things first, we always start out with burnt toast. Scott, what's your last humbling and or hilarious moment outside?
