    WILLOW BELDEN: Hi, I’m Willow Belden, the host of Out There. Over the past nine years, we’ve been sharing award-winning outdoor stories — stories that use nature to help you make sense out of life. And now, we’re excited to bring you a new season.

    The theme for the season is…

    MONTAGE OF VOICES: Silence. Silence. Silence. Silence. Silence.

    WILLOW: Each episode, we’ll share a story about finding stillness amidst the noise — whether that’s literal or figurative.

    HOWARD NEVINS: I’ve never seen you that happy. And enjoying yourself. You were just so, I mean, beaming type of joy.

    JESSE RIVERA: It’s one of those things where you just feel like you belong with the universe. It almost feels like a religious experience in a sense.

    SHANNON TYO: I haven’t had a wedding but I would assume it’s something like that where it’s like this is such an important day. So every single thing is a blur and also the most important thing that’s ever happened.

    WILLOW: Join us, as we go outside in order to better understand ourselves.

    Together, we'll seek out the healing quiet of nature; we’ll navigate the loss of inner stillness after an injury; and we’ll silence the critics that are holding us back.

    The season launches April 4. Follow Out There wherever you’re listening right now, or at outtherepodcast.com.
