This episode of She Explorers is brought to you by Oru Kayak.

They designed folding kayaks that can go virtually anywhere

thanks to their lightweight and folding design.

Stay tuned for later in the episode.

We'll talk to Johnny Gall, founder of

Dirtbag Darling, about how the Orru Kayak helps her escape the crowds.

I'm Gail Straub and you're listening to She Explores. A couple of announcements before I kick off this episode.

First, you might have been surprised to see this episode in your cue today.

This year I've been releasing an episode every two weeks,

but thanks to the support of Orru Kayak,

the sponsor you hear at the beginning and the middle of every episode, I'm able to start

making this weekly, which is a really big deal to me because there are so many of your stories

that I want to tell. Needless to say, I'm really excited about this.

Second, I wanted to share an extension of the outside magazine's Women's Issue.

The Outside Podcast brings Outside Magazine's tradition of literary storytelling into the audio world.

Their new series, Double X Factor, has best-selling author Florence Williams, who was also on

the She Explores Podcast, Profiling Extraordinary Women in the Outdoors.

Women like Soccer Legend and Gender Equality equality activists Abby Wombach, record-setting

distant swimmer Diane and Nyad, and Big Wall Climber Beth Rodden.

They'll also be investigating topics like the surprising history of the sports bra.

Find the show at outside online.com slash podcast on iTunes or anywhere podcasts are found.

It's really cool to see outside covering more women's content.
