May 02, 2023 The Backyard Trail
The best trails are not the trails that everyone has heard of and aspires to ride, run or hike.
The best trails are local. The trails you have out your back door.

April 27, 2023 The Future of Mountain Towns with PaddyO
Mountain towns are the epicenters of our outdoor world.
Cool places built on accessibility to amazing outdoor adventure and the outdoorsy lifestyle, these towns attract outdoor enthusiasts as well as plenty of people with money who are seeking the status that living in a mountain town can afford.
A recent episode of the Outside Podcast titled 'To Save the Soul of a Mountain Town' captured some of the struggles that have resulted as dirtbag adventure seekers have been priced out of these places by those with seemingly endless amounts of cash.
To dig a little deeper into this topic the producer of the Outside piece and veteran rock fighter himself, Paddy O'Connell, is back on the show today to tell us how the story came to be and how he is optimistic that our community will help save these places we've all come to love.
Do you live in a mountain town? Do you vacation in them? What are your observations on what is happening in this special locales? We want to hear from you! Send your comments to [email protected].

April 20, 2023 Secondhand First with Sophie Benson
Shopping for new gear and apparel is fraught with peril.
Even if you find something made without forever chemicals and with the highest amount of recycled content possible you still have to consider what to do when you are done using it to keep it from the inevitable graveyard: the landfill.
What's a consumer to do? That's the question we asked today's guest, Sophie Benson and her answer? Think secondhand first.
Sophie is an environmental fashion journalist who has written extensively about fast fashion, the apparel industry's role in climate change and, of course, secondhand apparel. You can read more of her work at www.sophiebenson.com.
What are your experiences shopping for gear and apparel? Do you always go secondhand first? Send your comments and suggestions to [email protected].
