Outside Magazine Debuts 2 New Podcast Series On Women & Diversity
Editor's Note: This news item was retrieved and first published through MediaPost's website.
Outside, an outdoor lifestyle magazine, recently debuted two new podcast series for its May issue, one dedicated to women and the other diversity in the industry. “Outside wants to lead the industry beyond its comfort zone, recognizing and bringing in new people and voices into the active lifestyle space. The outdoor industry has overlooked coverage of people of color, people with disabilities and members of the LGBTQ community among others" says editor of Outside Chris Keyes.
According to the article in MediaPost's Publishers Daily by Sara Guaglione, "There will be four episodes in each new podcast series. Each episode will focus on an interview with a specific personality working to improve inclusivity in the outdoor industry. The episodes will air about every week or so." The first episode goes live tomorrow and will be hosted by Outside contributor and NPR correspondent Stephanie May Joyce. Joyce will profile women like Kris Tompkins, a former CEO of Patagonia, and Kellee Edwards, the second black woman to have a show on the Travel Channel. The second series features James Mills, author of Outside’s May 2018 magazine cover story “This is What Adventure Looks Like” and the book “The Adventure Gap.” Mills will interview Ayesha McGowan, on track to be the first female African American professional cyclist, and Knox Robinson, the founder of the Black Roses NYC, a diverse group of urban runners, also featured in the May issue.
