“I thought this was going to be about nature and the preserving of nature and urban planning around nature….instead it was all about race….im not against addressing black history by any means, but I thought we were talking abt nature here. I only have so much time in the day and when I click on a...”Read full review »

“Misha has produced a brilliant and insightful collection of stories to remind us that we are nature, and we are always in nature. Her adventures are deeply personal and allow us to share her discovery of our intimate relationship to all things, wild and natural, at the same time that it is an...”Read full review »

“I like the first season and loved the second. Wonderful stories I’ve never heard before about and by people of color or other marginalized groups. I found it entertaining and the shows gave me something to think about.”

“Don't listen to the haters and racists. This is a much needed podcast for the notoriously colorless outdoors community that covers the challenges and contributions made by people of color to outdoors spaces in the US. Really dug the first season over national parks and loved the second season...”Read full review »

“I had been actively looking for podcasts on National Parks and couldn’t find one. My oldest kid is in 4th grade with an “Every Kid Outdoors” pass and is now hooked on earning Junior Ranger badges. Drives to NPS sites (and they are mostly Historical or Battlefield sites on the East Coast) are...”Read full review »

“This would be a good podcast if the host could control her use of f bombs. Its just totally unnecessary and just detracts from the story. I would love to listen to this podcast with my kids or in a professional setting, but unfortunately cannot. REI, you can do better!”

“I really wanted to like this podcast. After all, it’s from REI, it’s backed by Subaru, and it’s - supposedly - about the outdoors.
NOT SO! It’s all about the color of people’s skin, immigration, and as an aside the host will occasionally make a comment about the outdoors. I haven’t listened to...”Read full review »

“Honestly, it’s refreshing to have such a transparent and open conversation around our National Parks. Are the questions we’re led to ask ourselves always comfortable? No. But there is growth in the lack of comfort and they’re all still so valid. This is a must listen.”

“I love the personal aspect of the narration. Every episode is interesting, but the Mammoth Cave episode knocks it out of the park! If that episode doesn’t move you, you may want to check to see that your heart and soul hasn’t calcified like a obelisk. I hope the department of the interior lessons!”
