Great podcast!

This podcast seems to be out to prove that the Left can be just as racist and stupid as the Right. This is nothing more than political propaganda disguised as pseudo science journalism. But much worse is there is no actual research anymore. It’s just get some political hack on and let them say whatever they want.

I recently discovered this podcast and I wish I found it sooner! Every episode talks about things I’ve never even thought to think about and I’m SO drawn in as soon as each episode starts. It has quickly shot up to one of my favs

I’ve been looking for podcasts just like this one! if you like Radiolab or 99% Invisible or shows like that — this if for you!

I’m haven’t even finished the first season and this has become one of my favorite podcasts. Fascinating, wide ranging and well just darn fun.

So glad I found this show. What an imaginative way to tackle science issues. I’m a convert!

I may have missed it, but I saw no mention of papyrus palimpsests. Scribes used to recycle papyrus scrolls. They would take a previously finished scroll and scrape the content off of it. The scraping did not completely erase the content and it was visible especially in the margins of the new writing That provides a layer of complexity when trying to decipher scrolls. The most famous papyrus palimpsest currently, is the Archimedes palimpsest where 7 treatises of Archimedes and other writings were dismantled in 1250 to make a prayer book. Look it up.

I LOVED the papyrus scroll episode. Highlights the best of community, science and tech. Thanks for your work on sharing this amazing story.

Great storytelling and almost always a fun listen.

Longtime listener. I hate to say this, but for me, the show has gone downhill since Sam left. I find the new reporting style frustrating and not as well researched as the old episodes, and frequently find myself turning off episodes after a few minutes. Bummer.

Meh

Used to be better, has worked very hard to get political rather than just talk about the topic of the podcast. Yellowstone/Montana one is the last one I will be listening to.

Been listening all summer when I heard Nate on the planet money indicator. First episode was the lab mice one. I love every episode and I am combing my way through them. Currently I am listening to the outside inbox do bears hoot. Great podcast you guys should donate too. Keep up the good work!

Can’t wait to listen to more episodes! Storytelling of histories at its best.

I freaking love this show. The episodes bring me such joy. They strike a great balance between tackling serious/challenging topics and exploring more fun and light subjects. This is the only podcast that I will drop everything to listen to on the day it comes out :)

The first one I could do was a bit on a little more expensive and it would not like me and it just kept the price for a while to go out

I started listening to Outside/In when the miniseries, the Underdogs, was cross-promoted. I loved that series so went back to episode 1 and today I finished my climb to the current episode! So many great, really excellent, episodes. If you are starting now, I strongly encourage you to go back to the beginning and enjoy years of great content and production.

What a wonderful look at a long going issue with different perspectives. It was very fascinating and informative. Each one valid and with merit from history. And yet so sad because people just want to live!

I stumbled on this podcast on my morning commute. The episode was on the depletion of Arizona’s water supply and Saudi milk producer Almarai’s role in aggravating the issue. The episode contextualized the problem and gave much needed historical background enabling the listener to fully grasp what is going on. This is one thing lacking many a time in American reporting- contextualizing issues that are reported on. I found the reporting well-balanced and very engaging. Well-done! Now following this program on Apple and NPR.

I liked this show better when it wasn’t so political

I learned a lot from this show and especially love the Underdogs series about sled dogs. Great investigative reporting.

The underdogs episodes are the best so far.

I love the way this show is produced. Such great guests and helpful tips. My fave orita episode is the Ocean is a place of queer possibility. LOVED it.

Started out really enjoying the stories and knowledge about the outdoors but now in recent weeks its taken a turn towards liberal trash

Absolutely love the examination of diet and climate! I did feel that there may have been an over emphasis on methane, maybe. It’s been a minute since my focus turned from academia to farming, but my understanding was that methane, while 3x more potent as a GHG, dissipated much more quickly than carbon. Also, there was no mention of organic ag’s focus on organic matter in the soil and whether or not that sequestration of carbon has any effect. I really hope you do more episodes on the topic and dig down deep into what we consume and it’s effects on the environment. Keep doing what you do!

The show RadioLab wishes it was right now…

Also, respectful of the issues while having fun. Thanks!

This show is everything that is great

I really love these shows. Always interesting, lively, upbeat and funny. The guys on the show are cute as can be.

Man… I love everyone who works on this show. This is such a great production. If you’re a New Englander, this podcast sounds like home, or like talking to the naturalists you already know. Gives me all the good public radio vibes!! ❤️ 10/10

As a new Englander I love this New Hampshire based show. But I know that anyone can find a spot in their hearts for this great show! 5/7. 10/10 with rice. Would recommend. “One of the greatest podcasts of our generation” -me

Wow. I was having a not so nice day and I just wanted to unwind- an episode of this show was on my feed shared by gastropod (another awesome science and history show) and I’m in heaven. The music/production is also so well done. Too notch. Very enjoyable.

I love O/I and how it engages the listener in seemingly everyday tasks and scenes that one can often overlook. There’s beauty around every turn. It’s there for us to see with a bit of patience and a curious mind. The O/I team seeks to cultivate that mentality and encourage deep engagement on natural ecosystems. My only real feedback is in the opening theme. The show producers have received this feedback before but I feel it’s my obligation to reemphasize. The show opens with the phrase “… is about the natural world and how we use it” or something along those lines. This showcases a western philosophical perspective on nature. As an entity separate from humanity; here at our leisure to control and dominate. The phrasing almost suggests nature’s purpose is to serve human interests. Land and water to pillage and exploit. Quite anthropocentric. O/I makes a consist effort to engage with the perspectives of POC and indigenous peoples. Something I appreciate, especially as a POC. I’m not indigenous, but recently completed some reading highlighting my own ignorance and shed some light some common themes amongst indigenous peoples of North America. The research presented the indigenous view of humanity as a part of nature. A participant in natural cycles and ecosystems. Not above or outside of it. Some indigenous land care practices completed over generations isn’t even centered around human need but rather what was identified for the overarching benefit of an ecosystem. My point being, I do not believe words describing nature as a tool for humanity truly promotes the values of this podcast or a healthy view of the natural world. I’d suggest investigating other opening lines to take its place. I will continue listening. Take care 😊 Tariq

Such interesting stories. I like this podcast because it doesn’t stick to any one outdoors or science topic—It is very… varied! Each episode offers a unique bit of content. Most of which can’t be found on other shows. It feels at times like Radiolab, and other times like a sporting show. Well produced as well.

Right now

So hot right now

I just listened to the episode about Easter island! Wow! It made me jump for joy to hear about these amazing people and statues! Thank you for sharing with us!

I get it, the world of wind and climate science has been politicized. Just didn’t like how that was the primary focus of this podcast

I love the podcast, but I feel like the endings can be abrupt. For instance, the episode about Jennie Bender - she didn’t make the Olympic team and they interviewed the head of US Ski/Snowboard, then done. I would like to know what she Jennie is doing now, is she still skiing at all? This isn’t the only episode where I feel like the ending is abrupt, just the most recent one I listened to.

Always super interesting and I love all of the hosts!

Interesting stories about quirky and off-beat subjects. Podcasts are short and entertaining. They make my day at work pass MUCH faster. Also, I enjoy the casual banter. Kind of like hanging out with friends. But informative.

One of my favorite podcasts!! I listen while at work and the show makes the day go by so quickly. You never know what is going to come up and you’ll learn so much.

Thoughtful, insightful, just all around great. I learn something every episode. Would recommend to everyone!

I forget how I came across this podcast since I don’t live in New Hampshire, but it’s been a staple of my listening ever since ❤️ Astrology, racism in the history of pools/swimming, storm changing, deadly mushroom foraging— I have truly learned so much. Thank you, thank you!

Thanks for all the work you guys do!! Shows are funny and chock full of information.

This is one of the most informative, yet lighthearted podcasts that I’ve listened to!

Forever Ginkgo Outside/In is enlightened Green eggs and Ask Sam

Short, digestible episodes that broaden my perspectives on many things big and small

the ginkgo love episode was a true joy to listen to, having grown up in DC with ginkgo trees & their smell lining my childhood!

Excellent podcast, translating complex energy and climate topics in a fun and approachable manner.
