Brought to you by a set of sisters by law! Sidecountry Sisters is hosted by Danica Crow and Cassidy Sheek. Sidecountry Sisters is an outdoor podcast where people who have an interest in the outdoors can come to learn and laugh as they hear stories and content pertaining to the outdoors, whether that be a historical, true crime, or an adventure story or maybe advice from an expert (or someone more experienced). We are two sister-in-laws who would consider ourselves mediocre outdoors women. We enjoy being outdoors and creating our own adventures, but are by no means experts in anything outdoors….or really anything in life at all. We hope to create a space where individuals from all backgrounds can join us as we learn and immerse ourselves more into the outdoor culture as well.

    Oops! We realized we didn't give a thorough enough introduction as to why we love the outdoors enough to start a podcast! Episode 5 is about Dan and Cass, what started their love for the outdoors to begin with, what inspired them to start a podcast about the big outside, and what they hope all of you might get out of this as listeners. Thanks for being here and listening along, we are shocked to have listeners that don't personally know us--this is for you cats!

    S2 Ep4 - Johnny Appleseed

    Hold onto your tin hats ladies and gents, it's Johnny Appleseed! Given that it's fall, ya know, apple szn, we felt like reviewing the history of Johnny Appleseed. Has the name Johnny Appleseed been living in your head rent free for the majority of your life but you have no idea why? We are here to tell you why! This outdoorsman was locked in as a part of American culture long ago, and while I'm not sure if they still teach about his life in school, those of us that are listening age certainly learned about him in elementary school. So please, enjoy our attempt at structured story time!

    S2 Ep3 - It's Leaf Peepin' szn, y'all!

    Leaf Peepin' is the time in CO (and in many other states in the U.S & Canada) where people flock form near and far to experience the change of seasons through the changing of the leaves. The Aspens in Colorado shift their green, shimmering, coin-like leaves into a vibrant yellow-gold, and it lasts for such a short time you'll be tempted to call out of work and head for the mountains to see them! It's basically your modern day gold rush, that lasts for just a month! Sure the traffic is awful on the weekends, but the views can't be beat. If you want to know more than your friends about Aspens for your hikes, or just want to know where to go to get the best views, then join us for episode 3! *Content Warning: Please be advised that this episode contains mentions of acts of domestic violence and its fatal consequences.

    Everyone has heard of Buffalo Bill, but who even is he? Dan and Cass discuss the history of Buffalo Bill and the Wild West show, and his romanticization of the West.
