Backcountry racing to the bottom
Regrettably, the Outside podcast has regressed in quality since its amazing host, Peter Stark, departed. His storytelling was exemplary - his informal series on Survival is still some of the most riveting audio I've ever heard - his pace and timing is unforgettable. Most episodes since then seem like filler. But fast forward to now, and the podcast seems to have devolved so much more, into an SEO exercise thirsting for listeners. How else to make sense of the current episode,"Quest to Become a Meat Eater" which traffics in multiple tropes and even fictions regarding the holy cultural grail that is meat consumption. The host does not question or factually locate any of the tropes -- no journalistic lens is applied at any time --so the message is clear. The poor speaker vis-a-vis main character is probably iron and/or B12 deficient but this possibility is not explored. Why consider this when it might interfere with online search optimization. ?? Even if it's what fits and what is true.Read full review »

This started as an interesting and compelling podcast that told stories about outdoor adventures and delivered great info. Now it is just another interview-oriented podcast. It's fine as it is, but not nearly as good as it was.Read full review »

These guys do ridiculous amounts of research so you get incredible outdoor adventure stories. Based on my outdoor experiences, these are genuine. Plus you learn a bunch about survival for your own adventurers. The series on hypothermia was particularly useful for Winter hiking.
