6: Campfire Conversations 2: Mother Nature is Damn Sexy

03/20/23 • 50 min

It's time for another "Campfire Conversation" story time on The LGBT Outdoors Podcast.
Join host Justin Yoder and co-hosts Patrick Thompson and JC Rienton as we "sit around the campfire", read some listener-submitted stories and discuss what they mean.
We'll talk about what it's like to be (or not be) welcome in the outdoors as LGBTQ+ people. And what we can do about it...
We also hear a courageous story of coming out and how the outdoors can be a place of refuge.
And if you still aren't feeling the itch to go out and explore the wild, our 3rd conversation will have you filling up your Camelbak before the episode is over.
If you'd like to send in a story for consideration for Campfire Conversations, email it to us at [email protected]

Regarding "Coyote"... When looking for some more intel on this debate, I remembered a show on NPR that I used to LOVE called "A Way With Words". Listeners would call in and ask the history or origin of unique words and strange phrases. The show would often help settle debates on pronunciation and meanings of words as well.
