Closing the Gender Gap
Women are often told we can do anything we want in life: ride bikes, scale cliffs, surf waves. But in some areas of outdoor recreation, the gender gap remains shockingly large.

Customer Reviews
Wide-Ranging, Compelling, and Relaxing
Host Willow Belden has pieced together a stunning and diverse show in Out There.
I am an avid outdoors person and I feel like many other outdoorsy podcasts that get stuck in one lane, or manage to seem unconsolidated when they try and touch different areas of outdoor pursuits, sports, stories, or phenomena. Out There has surprised me from bringing stories of ultra runners, mountain bikers, backpackers, and climbers together in one space while keeping a clear tone that is soothing and heartfelt.
I never thought I’d consider ultra running or hunting until finding Out There while on the PCT in 2022.
Cannot recommend enough!
Ugh
An advertisement for border patrol? Really?
She sounds great when being interviewed, but for this podcast…
The host doesn’t use her normal speaking voice; she takes deep breaths and has a tone of voice that is on the sad spectrum. It’s such a shame, because she’s got a great speaking voice when she’s just having a conversation.
