If you want to revel in the wonder of the natural world, while still asking tough questions

about our place in that world, I'd like to tell you about a podcast you might enjoy.

It's called Outside In. Hosted by Sam Evans Brown, Outside In tackles a broad range of subjects,

from the environmental movement's troubling

links to the eugenics movement, to the fraught history between hydropower development and

indigenous rights in Canada. Outside In tries to capture the joy that attracts so many of us to the outdoors

in the first place.

The show has taken listeners under the ice of frozen lakes, to peat bogs in the Arctic,

and up close to patches of moss in your own backyard.

Outside Inn features deeply investigated stories and the deliberately goofy. They've staged debates over which is the best animal and the best fruit,

and tried to identify the fastest way a human could travel before the internal combustion engine.

Outside In makes you think and makes you laugh.

You can find Outside In in your favorite podcast app and at

OutsideInRadio.org.

Hi, I'm Willow Belden and you're listening to Out There, the podcast that explores big questions

through intimate stories outdoors.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our listeners in the U.S.

Around Thanksgiving, we tend to place a lot of emphasis on gratitude.

We remind ourselves how much we have going for us, how lucky we are.

And that's a wonderful thing to do.

But let's face it, sometimes it's hard to feel grateful.

Sometimes resentment builds up.
