Outside Voices is a podcast driven by one simple idea: the outdoors belongs to all of us. Our aim is to celebrate and amplify those who don’t always see themselves reflected in the “Great Outdoors”: Black, Indigenous and People of Color, people with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ folk and others redefining the outdoor narrative. Hosted by Sarah Shimazaki.

    Outside Voices presents: The Trail Ahead Podcast and "Diversity and Representation in Running from Track to Trail with Adam Merry"

    This week we feature an episode of a podcast we love: The Trail Ahead Podcast, hosted by Faith E. Briggs and Addie Thompson. They bring on outdoor industry leaders from all backgrounds to have interracial dialogue aimed at having tough conversations at the intersection of race, environment, history, culture, and the outdoors. Their ultimate goal? To diversity the outdoor industry and welcome everyone into outdoors spaces.. 
    This episode features Adam Merry, a track and trail runner who has raced up to 100K! Despite his accomplishments, he’s faced challenges in diversity and representation in running, and is working towards building a more inclusive and community minded outdoor community.

    UNTANGLING: Protecting water and Indigenous sovereignty with Autumn Harry

    UNTANGLING: Protecting water and Indigenous sovereignty with Autumn Harry

    As the daughter of Indigenous water rights advocates, Autumn Harry (@numu_wanderer) was able to establish a connection to water and fishing at a very young age. Since then, she’s used her skills and knowledge to educate others on the history of Kooyooe Pa’a, or Pyramid Lake, as the first Numu Woman Flyfishing Guide in the U.S (@kooyooepaa_guides). She’s also led advocacy work and mutual aid efforts for food and land sovereignty to help her community, the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, thrive.
    Untangling is a three-part Outside Voices mini-series exploring our cultural connections to fishing, created in partnership with our friends at Take Me Fishing. 
    Resources:
    - Website of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe
    - Information about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) from Native Women’s Wilderness
    - Pyramid Lake Fishing Guide: Be a Respectful Visitor by Autumn Harry

    UNTANGLING: Familial fishing lines with Brianne Lauro

    UNTANGLING: Familial fishing lines with Brianne Lauro

    A descendant of Filipino plantation workers who immigrated to Hawai’i in the early 1900s, Brianne Lauro (@brianne_lauro) is the daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter of local fishers and hunters.
    In this second episode of “Untangling,” Brianne opens up for the first time about imposter syndrome and credits all she’s learned as a fisher to her Uncle Lance. While Brianne herself is relatively new to fishing, she’s learned that it’s become a way to connect with her family history, build and take care of her community, and share culture and knowledge across generations.

    UNTANGLING: Gwine Fishin with Queen Quet and the Gullah/Geechee Nation

    UNTANGLING: Gwine Fishin with Queen Quet and the Gullah/Geechee Nation

    For the Gullah/Geechee people, fishing is culture. Everything comes back to "making a circle", shares Queen Quet, chieftess and head-of-state of the Gullah/Geechee Nation, from throwing a circular cast net out into the ocean, to bringing balance and harmony back to the natural environment, and passing down cultural traditions to the next generation. Tune in for a conversation between Host and Producer Sarah Shimazaki and Queen Quet!
    The Gullah/Geechee Nation encompasses over 100 sea islands along the Atlantic coast and about 30 miles inland. The Gullah/Geechee are descendants of enslaved people from West Africa and have largely been able to preserve their traditions, including fishing, which they depend on for their livelihood.
    October 22nd marks the Gullah/Geechee Seafood Festival. Bring family and friends to enjoy the Gullah/Geechee presentations, cuisine, and crafts along the shoreline at the Hunting Island Nature Center!

Gardening at Manzabar

Excellent podcast! As you pointed out things have not changed, unfortunately, from the injustices of the days of Japanese internment. May everyone who gardens give a nod to those brave citizens who found and created beauty from these despicable circumstances! Thank you, Sarah.

Awesome podcast!

Highly recommend. Great perspectives and storytelling about BIPOC outdoorists + folks in the environmental movement.

Outstanding podcast

This is an amazing and insightful podcast that brings light to outdoor experiences and BIPOC voices that have often been overshadowed by White voices in the past.
