The (not so) Great Outdoors

I really love this show! There’s a great variety of topics (rescues are my favorite, listen to episode 56 for an amazing one!). The hosts are so fun to listen to, and do a good job presenting difficult topics. Overall one of my favorite shows! PS Josh should talk about ghosts :P

The Indian propaganda machine at work again. Assuming native Americans always held the high moral ground and all their woes are the fault of the white man.

I really wanted to like this podcast. As a fellow outdoor enthusiast I was excited to find a new show to get me through my work week. For starters: some episodes are better than others. There’s a lot of small talk with a LOT of harsh opinions (I know some people like this, personally I don’t). I also noticed that one host will jump at every opportunity to tell how experienced she is in the outdoors but may also spread misinformation in the process. One example: she mentioned you don’t need to bring bear spray unless you’re in grizzly country. This is false, carry it with you. You’ll wish you had it in the event you come across an aggressive predator. Overall it’s an alright podcast, I would say there’s more chit chat than actual story, it’s fine but not the best, and I would take all outdoor advice with a grain of salt.

I just found the NSGO podcast this fall and immediately fell in love with it! I binged all their episodes in about a month and can’t wait for new episodes to drop every other week. Sav and Piff are the perfect podcast hosts; their laughter is infectious, storytelling is fun and concise, their stories will have you checking over your shoulder all day, and they have so many great stories to tell about their own experiences in the sometimes (not so) great outdoors. I’m so happy I stumbled across their podcast and highly recommend giving it a listen (or watch on youtube)!! Every time they drop a new episode it brightens my day. Sending love to Kentucky from your Tennessee neighbor, keep up the awesome work y’all!
