MEDIA KIT
ABOUT
Outside/In from New Hampshire Public Radio is a show where curiosity and the natural world collide. The program combines solid reporting and long-form narrative storytelling to bring the outdoors to you wherever you are.
We cast a wide net across the environmental spectrum, and do fun explorations of nature, with lots of sound design and immersive scenes. We cover climate change and sustainability, but try to keep solutions to environmental problems in the spotlight; and we do pieces that are more philosophical, reflecting on ways in which society thinks about and depicts nature.
Outside/In released its first episode in 2015 after a year of development and experimentation. It quickly set itself apart in the environmental space as a podcast that focuses on under-reported stories that shine a light on the practical challenges and philosophical questions that face the modern environmental movement.
FORMAT
Each podcast episode typically runs around 25 - 45 minutes. Episodes are released on Thursdays.
Occasionally, the program produces a series delving into one topic. “Powerline” first aired in November 2017. The four-part series of reports studied the origins of clean energy in New England, tracing the complicated history of the state-owned Quebec power company Hydro-Quebec.
“Patient Zero” focused on the history, epidemiology, and controversies surrounding Lyme disease.
"Windfall” tracked the birth of the American offshore wind industry.
“The Underdogs” delved into the guarded world of competitive dog sledding.

“[This] podcast is a valuable reminder of what’s at stake when we talk about saving the planet…. Outside/In is a fun, touching weekly tribute to the joys of the natural world, offering reflections on humans’ relationship to wilderness alongside discussions of environmental news stories.
