We're thrilled to be among Adventure Journal's top picks for podcasts about the outdoors! 

Abbie Barronian, who compiled the list of favorites, describes Out There's stories as being told "with the eye of a journalist and the empathy, kindness, and open-mindedness of a traditional thru-hiker." 

The show is in good company: other podcasts Barronian mentions include "Outside/In," "She Explores," and the time-honored "Dirtbag Diaries."

Adventure Journal is an online magazine founded by the West Coast editor of National Geographic Adventure. It is dedicated to highlighting outdoor adventure of all varieties.

Help Out There grow! (And win things).

We have big plans for Out There. We want to bring you more content you'll love, grow our listener base, and create a vibrant community around the show. In order to achieve those goals, we need your help.

We just need three minutes of your time (literally, THREE minutes) to take our audience survey. If you complete the survey, you will:

1) Have our undying gratitude
2) Feel like a million dollars for having supported an independent podcast that exists to bring you stories you love, and
3) Be entered into a drawing to win a $50 REI gift card, an Out There hoodie, and more.

So, do us a favor and take three minutes that you would otherwise have spent scrolling through Facebook, to help us out.
