The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast

I love Ginny’s podcast! So many amazing interviews about living a healthy, creative, thriving life! Thanks so much for the work you’ve doing, Ginny!

This is my absolute favorite podcast. Ginny is so pleasant to listen to and her interviews offer a variety of views and perspectives that not only educate but offer hope ! Many of my favorite books were introduced to me through this podcast. Thank you Ginny for all that I have learned through this podcast.

This podcast has literally changed my life for the better! Not only is Ginny funny and smart, she’s an encourager. I started listening to the show because I wanted to learn more ways to get my family outside, but I have learned about so many other things including health and nutrition, child psychology, and homeschooling. This show has been such a blessing to me. Listen, and it will bless you too!

I found this podcast and the 1000 hour outside movement during my first pregnancy and fell in love. It truly influenced how I parent and I found great support in Ginny’s acknowledgement that parenting can be overwhelming and getting outside can benefit the whole family. Her podcast reminded me to slow down and to cherish the small adventures. However, in the past year, you can feel some of her guests toe-ing the line in pushing their political or personal beliefs. Recently there’s been remarks about vaccines, gender identity, etc. I feel like it’s starting to come away from giving parents ideas to get their kids outside to embracing pseudoscience and political topics. Can we please bring back “Roots, Shoots, Buckets, and Boots” and less “I cured my cancer with healthy eating.”
