Expanding the Outdoors episodes

  • Surrendering into Mindfulness w. Gustavo
    In our debut episode, we chat with Gustavo (he/him) on his transition away from competitive sports, the lesson he is learning as a new student in surfing, and how those of us who hold privilege can be better allies when planning outdoor activities with folks from marginalized communities.
    E.T.O believes in providing proper compensation to folks who volunteer to speak on the podcast as their stories hold immense value. Along with offering $25 to each speaker, we encourage our listeners to make a donation to the speaker. Gustavo’s Venmo is @TheGustavoRivera.

About Expanding the Outdoors

From the publisher's feed

We know that queer folks are getting outdoors in various ways, but there isn't much out there that talks about how and why they get outdoors. Recognizing this gap, Expanding the Outdoors seeks to amplify LGTBQIA2+ voices in all things outdoors. During each session, we chat with different people to understand how they like to spend time outside, what barriers they face accessing the outdoors, times they have thrived, times they have faced oppression, and much more. We are dedicated to showcasing folks all across the outdoor spectrum to help pull the definition of an outdoorsy person away from its stereotype of a white, cis/het, hyper-masculine male. This podcast also takes an intersectional approach, as we recognize that folks hold multiple identities. It is important to make space and talk about how those identities impact their relationship with the great outdoors.
