A Podcast for Everyone Who Loves the Outdoors
The vision behind The Outsider Podcast is simple: to appeal to anyone with a love for the outdoors, regardless of discipline or ability level. We strongly believe that, whether you’re scaling peaks at high altitude or enjoying a morning dip in the sea, the outdoors connects us all in a way that goes beyond skill or experience. The podcast aims to capture that universal love, featuring stories, insights, and discussions that resonate with all outdoor enthusiasts.
Episode 1: A Celebration of the Outsider Awards
To kick things off, our debut episode is a “best of” compilation from the recent Outsider Awards, sponsored by Sport Ireland. This episode captures the energy, inspiration, and incredible stories from Ireland’s outdoor community, celebrating the athletes, adventurers, and advocates who make the outdoors such a vibrant space. The first episode is available now, offering listeners an exciting introduction to what’s to come.
What to Expect from the Podcast
While the structure of the podcast will evolve over time, we’re launching with a mix of long-form feature episodes and solo episodes hosted by Outsider’s editor, Matthew McConnell (@mrmattmcc). These episodes will explore a wide range of topics, including:
- Outdoor gear – in-depth looks at the latest innovations and must-have equipment.
- Outdoor locations – guides to some of the best adventure spots in Ireland and beyond.
- Outdoor events – coverage of exciting challenges, races, and gatherings in the outdoor world.
- Deep dives into specific topics – discussions on trends, issues, and experiences within the outdoor community.
Whether you’re looking for inspiration for your next adventure, expert insights on outdoor gear, or simply a way to stay connected with the community, The Outsider Podcast is here to deliver.
