For The Love Of Climbing by Kathy Karlo podcast cover art

I think it's important to highlight stories of addiction and sobriety in the outdoor spaces we inhabit.

Kathy does a great job of producing this show and always makes me think.

Plug Tone Outdoors podcast cover art

This beautifully-produced conversation introduces us to a professional trail runner, Gabe Joyes.

It chronicles his experience running a race put on by the Bhutanese government to raise awareness for climate change and the need to protect the special places on our planet.

For The Love Of: Trade-offs we make in pursuit of our passions podcast cover art

This conversation explores Lisa's strength through her vulnerability during a challenging time. She talks about overcoming cancer, climbing the seven summits, and starting to guide other women to do the same. It’s an incredible story of resilience and vulnerability.

Written in Stone: Climbing History podcast cover art

Lynn Hill is a force in the rock climbing world. In this episode of Written in Stone, the host narrates Lynn's story, taking down one of the most iconic rock climbing walls in the world, The Nose on El Capitan in Yosemite National Park.

Wild Ideas Worth Living podcast cover art

This is an incredible story about what it looks like to go after your dreams, put yourself in uncomfortable scenarios, and go against the status quo.

I was so inspired by this episode — doing things later in life and on my own as a woman.

Spotlight

Happy Forgetting podcast cover art

Happy Forgetting is an anthology about the racial justice histories we remember, the ones we forget, what we deny, and what we bury. And why those stories must be retold.

Hosted by journalist Ruxandra Guidi, Happy Forgetting's personal and opinionated audio essays and documentaries remind us that progress isn't linear.
