I listen to this on a daily work commute. I’m always left feeling like I have learned something new, and how to be more productive and adventurous even in normal life events. The show is always well written, and Shelby does an excellent job in asking questions that we all are thinking ourselves....Read full review »

I have been listening to Shelby’s podcast on my daily bicycle commute to work in Seattle for about 2 years. I love her voice- somehow she always sounds like she’s smiling. I love that she has clearly done her homework on every speaker- and asks thoughtful questions that really get at the heart of...Read full review »

I didn’t expect to enjoy listening to an episode about a researcher, especially about climate science (I’m fatigued on the subject), but this was a fascinating episode! And the ending was emotional and amazing. Thank you Shelby!

Loved the Rowing Across the Pacific show- the first I’ve listened to. The story telling and the production was wonderful. This story is one that definitely deserves to be told far and wide.

This is my absolute favorite podcast series! Shelby interviews such a diverse population of individuals, and draws out such inspiring and thoughtful perspectives about what it means to “live wildly”. I love that she doesn’t just focus on talking about impressive achievements (though there’s...Read full review »

Love the show. The stories here inspire me to get out there for my own adventures. Especially when I’m stuck in the car heading to my grind for the day. Helpful reminder that this life we life can be a wild and beautiful adventure if we put in the energy to make it that way.

I just listened to the Meg Fisher episode and her frontal lobe description…how her personality changed after her accident. What??? Crazy interesting and the fact that Betsy, her dog was such an integral part of beginning her recovery. Perfect. Thank you Meg!

Listening to this podcast’s positivity as Shelby interviews her guests is encouraging in this day of negative ear worms. ‘Wild Ideas’ is never boring and teaches me something I want to know, every time I listen. It’s been a shot in the arm of remembering there are a LOT of good and interesting...Read full review »

@jazz via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 12/07/22
I am an avid outdoors advocate and have started listening to every episode. It is real, honest, the questions are thoughtful and I have already put a few ideas into my life and trying things I didn’t know about until listening to this. I know a couple of the speakers and had no idea about the...Read full review »

The stories are wonderful but I love the energy the host has! Another plus is that she’s from Georgia which is where I first fell in love with being outdoors. As a brown woman, it’s so cool to hear the stories of other people of color and their experiences outdoors. This is my favorite podcast!

I’ve been listening to this podcast for about a year now. It’s changed my life. I’ve been through back surgery, losing my job, and my wife over the past year as well as the stresses of COVID, Black Lives Matter movement/police violence, and wildfires destroying homes and our beautiful ecosystems....Read full review »

I am a fan of adventure and sometimes feel that side of life gets hushed and we are encouraged to fall in-line. Shelby is an amazing host helping us all break out sharing adventures big and small. It’s such a joy to listen to each episode. I now have a burning desire to surf…and so do the kids....Read full review »

The stories shared on your show are truly inspiring. I empathize a lot with your guest, Raquel Gomez and I can’t even imagine how overwhelming things must have been for her when her father passed away. It’s very brave of her to move forward and start something meaningful to her. Thank you for...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to this podcast for the last year trying to catch up on all the episodes and have been so inspired. Last fall I ran my first half marathon and am training for a full one. Less than one year ago I hated running, and never thought I’d be able to do anything like this. I’ve also...Read full review »

I really enjoy how diverse the topics are. I listen to topics I don’t even think will interest me and they always do. I think Shelby does a great job with her interviews, she is easy to listen to.

While this podcast has less union-busting corporate speak than the “Our REI” podcast hosted on their website, it’s still not worth listening to. Support the REI union in SoHO.

This podcast used to be great. Now every single episode has some type of woke-tivism spun in. More adventure stories, less pandering and agendas please.

The host is fine- sometimes she provides some interesting stories. Often they are just boring. My real problem is how REI claims all their sustainable actions while broadcasting endless ads for the Ford Bronco Sport. Do you all understand global warming? Gas burning SUVs are a major contributor...Read full review »

I began listening a few months ago on my walks to work in the morning. Every episode brings new revelations. It is one of the most empowering ways I have found to begin my day.

I’m so sick of listening about REI’s partnership with Ford Bronco. REI, you just lost a listener and a customer. Terrible branding mistake.
