Alice Ford: Blazing Trails from Stunt Work to Solo Adventures on PBS


Listen Later

What happens when you mix solo travel, stunt work, Emmy-nominated storytelling, and a deep love for wild places? You get Alice Ford.

This week on The Adventure Is Out There Podcast, Andy Neal sits down with Alice Ford—stuntwoman, TV host, outdoor creator, and the visionary behind the PBS show Alice’s Adventures on Earth.

Alice’s path has been anything but linear: from a childhood spent running barefoot through the woods of New Hampshire, to doubling actors in Stranger Things and Transformers, to filming herself trekking through some of the most remote places on earth. In a world that often says you need a beard and a flannel to host outdoor TV, Alice forged her own path—pitching networks, building a YouTube audience from scratch, and taking her camera (and tripod) into the wild solo.

In this episode, we talk about: – Breaking into Hollywood stunts (and why most doors were closed)
– Starting her own travel docuseries and landing it on PBS
– What it's really like filming alone outdoors as a woman
– The ethics of outdoor content creation and stewardship
– Her time living with disappearing Indigenous tribes—and how it changed her
– Advice for aspiring outdoor creators (spoiler: it’s not just about going viral)

If you care about nature, storytelling, or simply doing the hard thing when the easy thing would’ve been easier—this conversation is for you.
