Outside Voices is a podcast driven by one simple idea: the outdoors belongs to all of us. Our aim is to celebrate and amplify those who don’t always see themselves reflected in the “Great Outdoors”: Black, Indigenous and People of Color, people with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ folk and others redefining the outdoor narrative. Hosted by Sarah Shimazaki.
