Outside/In: Where curiosity and the natural world collide. Look around, and you’ll find everything is connected to the natural world. At Outside/In, we explore that idea with boundless curiosity. We report from disaster zones, pickleball courts, and dog sled kennels, and talk about policy, pop culture, science, and everything in between. From the backcountry to your backyard, we tell stories that expand the boundaries of environmental journalism. Outside/In is a production of NHPR. Learn more at outsideinradio.org

What listeners will find here

Why people keep getting back on the bike, even when it feels risky
Biking is the subject here, but not as a fitness trend or a traffic debate. Felix Poon talks with three cyclists about fear, freedom, body image, childhood risk, and the stubborn pull that keeps them riding.
