Out In The Wilds episodes

  • Episode 1x17: "Not All Wild Notions Are Without Merit"

    Welcome back for our final Season 1 episode of Out In The Wilds! We are fondly calling this our potpourri episode because it catches (most of) the pieces that didn’t fit elsewhere.

    We’re going to talk through the importance of falls from grace for each character and the significance of ongoing redemption arcs on the Island. We’ll also discuss the repeating imagery patterns (but like why are they all obsessed with camouflage and God?) and work our way through some listener submitted and frequently asked questions. We found places to laugh a lot in this one, and we hope you laugh a bit too!

    This is only a goodbye for now! We are still completely reachable through our social media channels below, and are so excited to see you all again when Season 2 comes out (or before, who knows really?). Be safe and be well, until we see (/talk!) to you all again, and a big thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You all are GREAT!

  • Episode 1x16: "Don't Talk About My Friend Like That" (Dot and Shelby)

    Welcome back to Out In The Wilds! Episode 16 is the fifth (and last!) of our “duo” series, where we take a deeper look into each of the pairs outside of the context of the recaps. Next up is Shelby Goodkind (Mia Healey) and Dorothy Jane Campbell (Shannon Berry)!

    This one is monster length (we did warn you that it might be Texas-sized) but hey — we are nearing the end and we figure you might miss us when we are gone (until next season)! We’ll talk through the ways that both Shelby and Dot tie their self-value to utility, concepts of penance and redemption, conspiracies about confederates and the overarching difficultly of trust. We’ll also talk about the degree that each girl is seeking peace, why being seen can be dangerous, the challenges of falling into old habits and how both Shelby and Dot have different understandings of what a wasted life is. We also get into a disagreement.

  • Episode 1x15: "I Don't Want You to Forget You" (Rachel and Nora)

    Welcome back to Out In The Wilds! Episode 15 is the fourth of our “duo” series, where we take a deeper look into each of the pairs outside of the context of the recaps. Next up is Rachel Reid (Reign Edwards) and Nora Reid (Helena Howard)!


    We will discuss the concept of self-isolation and the ways that Nora and Rachel other themselves from the group, the role that self discovery plays in growth, and the difference between seeing and monitoring. We’ll also discuss regret over who you align yourself with (especially when it leads to loss), why Leah scares Nora the most, what is Rachel really seeking and why Dot sees more value in Rachel than Nora. Rachel and Nora represent duality in such a potent way, so we are excited to unpack the ways they push and pull on each other. Plus! Fire! Water! Blood!

  • Episode 1x14: "Ashes Make the Phoenix" (Gretchen and Linh)

    Welcome back to Out In The Wilds! Episode 14 is the third of our “duo” series, where we take a deeper look into each of the pairs outside of the context of the recaps. Next up is Linh Bach (Chi Nguyen) and Gretchen Klein (Rachel Griffiths)! A bit of a different pairing to be sure, but we are excited about this one.

    We’ll talk through the dubious and obscured motivations of both characters, the question of who is manipulating and when do we become the thing we are fighting against. We’ll also get into the concepts of resurrection, desecration and remembrance, as well as ask you to consider who mourns Linh as a person versus Jeanette as a symbol or a tool. Do we also call out Gretchen as a mastermind, a chameleon and a cult leader? Why yes, yes we do. And we stand by that. Also, we stand by the fact that Linh is our favourite secondary character (sorry Regan, Aly still loves you though).

  • Episode 1x13: "And No Running Away on Me. You Promise?" (Martha and Toni)

    Oh, hey! We’re back with Episode 13! This is the second of our “duo” series, where we take a deeper look into each of the pairs outside of the context of the recaps. Next up is Martha Blackburn (Jenna Clause) and Toni Shalifoe (Erana James)!   


    We’ll talk about Martha’s attempts to reinvent herself and how they relate to the ways she is coping with trauma, the elusive concept of home and the intersections of perfection/imperfection, trusting/distrusting, confrontational/non-confrontational. We’ll also discuss two different depictions of resilience and drive, the important distinctions around what is changing you, why Martha latches onto Shelby and the enduring connection to the land. Our special theme for these two is "Fight and Flight", and we will discuss the different ways they each practice avoidance in some situations, but are fully confrontational in others.

    Also! We tell a lot of stories in this one, went way too deep into what character we would be on the island and Aly is unintentionally super Canadian saying 4x the acceptable amount of “right?” and “you know?”. So feel free to make fun of her.

  • Episode 1x12: "You're Going Dark on Me Again" (Leah and Fatin)

    Welcome back to Out In The Wilds! Episode 12 is the first of our “duo” series, where we take a deeper look into each of the pairs outside of the context of the recaps. First up is Leah Rilke (Sarah Pidgeon) and Fatin Jadmani (Sophia Ali)!


    We’ll talk about loyalty and accountability, the ways that Fatin others herself, the relationship between control and release, how both girls value trust and of course the dismantling of stereotypes. We’ll also talk about that weird transient space that exists between being a kid and an adult, differing opinions on sex/love and the ways that Leah and Fatin are simultaneously reckless and careful. Such an utter joy to get to really think about these two, and how each mirror, pair and contrast with the rest of the girls.

  • Episode 1x11: "I’m Spearheading a New Initiative at Work. There’s Been Some Resistance"

    Holy, it’s finally here! Episode 11 of Out In The Wilds is up! This one’s for you all — everyone who has shared kind words with us, yelled about characters and conspiracies with Aly or just been along for the ride. We appreciate all of the support, adore you all and are ecstatic it’s not over yet!  


    This is the first in a series of non-recap episodes that we are so excited to share with you. We’ll talk our Big 4 Theories (one is 3 parts— does that make it Big 6?), Deserted Island Partner of the Season, favourite characters, and our hopes and dreams for next season. We’ll also ask you all to think hard about who Gretchen really wants to win, why there is a USSR submarine clock, and when the girls were picked. This one is analysis heavy (you’ve been warned!), but also we promise there’s some jokes. Or no jokes? Who’s really to say.

  • Episode 1x10: "I Am Legit Hot for You Right Now"

    Welcome back to Out In The Wilds! It’s time to shout about Episode 10/Day 23 on the island and to talk about what we honestly think is one of the best season finales we have ever seen.


    We’re going to go deep into what motivates Nora, how Dot’s leadership isn’t just about survival, why Nora sees Rachel and Toni in similar ways, and whether Gretchen has an unhealthy fascination with pancakes (just kidding about that one). We’ll also talk about the multiple cliffhangers we get, why Agent Young is uniquely susceptible to being manipulated and what a fantastic job we think that Helena Howard did. We are saving most of our large scale conspiracy theories for next episode, but we do get into some small scale favourites. As always, this episode is an ode to Nora, but in many ways is a homage to the entire show.

  • Episode 1x09: "Basically I'm a Role Model Now"

    Welcome back to Out In The Wilds! It’s time to analyze Episode 9/Day 22 on the island and to talk about the absolute G.O.A.T. Martha Blackburn. 

    Look forward to us describing Leah using the word “spiralling” way too many times, yelling about powwow food (if you don’t know what a taco in a bag is, look it up!), and criticizing all the survival moves the girls make. We also get into the question of whether Martha is dead, why Gretchen gave Agent Young the box, the concept of home, the importance of perception versus reality, redoing pivotal moments, and what is possibly the best scene in the whole series. Because it’s on brand, we will also talk about Indigenous representation, the importance of Jenna Clause’s portrayal of Martha, and stereotypes versus accurate depictions.

  • Episode 1x08: "Are You Offering to Be My Live-in Muscle?"

    Welcome back to Out In The Wilds! It’s time to cover Episode 8/Day 16 on the island. Shelby Goodkind, here we come! In the words of S. Twain, let’s go girls.

    This is a hefty episode length-wise and content-wise. We promise there are some jokes in there. We will get into the ocean party montage, what the return of Marcus means, Gretchen’s donor lunch, the power struggle between Dan and Shelby and how sketchy this “paying off the pilot” plan is. We will also talk about Shelby’s (Mia Healey) backstory, including the perception of people as disposable, the fear of being alone, how she connects physical beauty to spiritual wellness, the danger of Dave and whether we have ever seen Shelby without a mask on. Also— somehow we mention slumber parties three times.
