We are enthusiasts and experts from a range of outdoors activities, and we're talking about the news stories that matter to us - from specific sports news, to headline stories about our countryside, and the viral posts that capture outdoors culture - all in a jargon and judgement free way!

It's time for the outdoor sector to talk about MONEY...

On The Outside

10/10/22 • 65 min

Text us your views -- we'll share some on the next episode

It's time to talk about money in the outdoor sector. I know there are individuals and groups having these conversations on a case-by-case level. We decided not to talk about this on the podcast until now because we didn’t want to be outing individual experiences with payment.

But in August, Matt Barr from the Looking Sideways podcast posted this:

Open Thread: is it ever OK for brands not to pay creatives or contributors fairly for their time and expertise?

And Matt and Soraya had a chat on Looking Sideways that spoke in part about money.
In this episode, I ask Matt more about the catalyst for posting that thread, and we pick apart the question itself. After our chat, you’ll hear some of the Looking Sideways podcast and then several talking heads.

Purple Day special: Adventurers Talk Epilepsy from Seize Your Adventure

Text us your views -- we'll share some on the next episode

This is a special episode looking at one particular news item. The 26th of March is Purple Day, the International Day of Epilepsy Awareness. It's the one day a year dedicated to raising money and awareness to support everyone who is living with the effects of epilepsy.
Right now, people around the globe are cycling, walking, swimming, running and more to raise money to support people living with epilepsy. And if you are one of them, thank you so much.

But one of my biggest passions is advocating for the fact that - people with epilepsy can do these things too. Today's episode is a crossover with another podcast in the Tremula Network. Seize Your Adventure is a podcast sharing stories of advneture and outdoor living with epilepsy. This episode flips the microphone, and Fran talks to three people who work within the adventure field to find out what they know about epilepsy, what they don’t, and how we can get more people with epilepsy in adventure.

We mention:

These three adventure professionals’ first aid and epilepsy experience
How they handle risk assessments
The different types of seizure
Basic epilepsy first aid
How to encourage people with epilepsy to take part in adventure
What adventure means to them
Where to go to learn more about epilepsy

THE ADVENTURERS:

Jago Hartland (Outdoor Pursuits Guide)
David Willis (Bushcraft Instructor)
Nicki Bass (Resilience Consultant)
