(Mostly) Outdoor Podcasts We Love

By Jaime Purinton

Podcasts have become an integral part of my everyday life and a staple for our long drives to trailheads. Not only are they entertaining, but I have also learned amazing things from some really smart people who are dedicating their lives to sharing their talents and passions. So, we thought we would share the (mostly) outdoor podcasts we love!

Whether you hike, climb, paddle, bike, ski, run, travel, or all the above, the storytelling that is Dirtbag Diaries will inspire you to wander more, dream more, and get a little more dirty.

Hosted by Gale Straub, She Explores celebrates curiosity in the outdoors and shares these stories- solo hiking, camping, entrepreneurship, outdoor equity, aging, conservation, motherhood, chronic illness, and more.

After experiencing my own traumatic injury on the trail, I am always interested in hearing stories like mine. The Sharp End shares stories of real outdoor accidents to shift "our way of thinking about accidents and intentionally create a culture that allows people to share their stories, judgment, shame, and guilt-free."

Hosted by three adventurers with different backgrounds, but a shared love for the outdoors, Almost There Podcast celebrates local and epic adventures (I love hearing from people from our local community). Important topics are discussed with adventurers, artists, activists, and legends in the outdoor community.

Humans Outside Podcast is broadcasted from Alaska and explores what it means to make the outdoors part of who you are. Getting outside every day is encouraged, and guests help to share ways to make it interesting and fun.

Have you dreamed of transitioning into the outdoor world professionally? Liz Landeen, host of The Outdoor Entrepreneur is helping listeners incorporate their love for the outdoors into their life and business by interviewing inspiring guests who share how they did it.

Dr. Andrew Huberman discusses neuroscience and how our brains connect with our bodies and perceptions. Topics cover sleep science, learning, dreaming, motivation, focus, health, and so much more. This podcast is a must to understand how health works scientifically.

Rich Roll is an endurance athlete and fellow vegan who discusses all things wellness- from fitness, nutrition, art, entertainment, entrepreneurship & spirituality. These conversations inspire listeners to become their best selves.

You can find all these podcasts on most podcast platforms!
