MEDIA KIT
ABOUT
Outside/In from New Hampshire Public Radio is a show about the natural world and how we use it, hosted by Sam Evans-Brown. The show combines solid reporting and long-form narrative storytelling to bring the outdoors to you wherever you are.
The program casts a wide net across the environmental spectrum – from the floral industry and storm chasers to the perils of mushroom hunting and the mystique of spring water. Field reporting, natural sound, and interviews with experts and everyday people are core elements of the program.
Outside/In released its first episode in December 2015. You don’t need to be a whitewater kayaker, an obsessive composter, or a conservation biologist to love Outside/In. It’s a show for anyone who has ever been outdoors. (so just about everyone)
FORMAT
Each episode typically runs around 30 minutes.
“Ask Sam” is a recurring feature of the podcast. Every few months, Sam answers questions from listeners about everything from hybrid cars to palm trees and terrestrial fish.
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. The environmental benefits and human costs of clean energy; corporate power dynamics; and the treatment of native peoples were all topics covered in the reporting.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE SHOW
“You never know what’s next for Outside/In. The show claims to be for “*almost* everyone” and it’s really true. Sam Evans-Brown delves into reporting and long-form storytelling to talk all things outdoors… Listen to Outside/In and you’re sure to be entertained and well-informed.” – “Adventure Podcasts We Love” in Whoa Mag
“The judges especially liked the team’s ambition, as well as its conclusion that no energy source, no matter how clean, is free of victims—a fact that is too often lost in the coverage of climate change.”- Overseas Press Club, in announcing Powerline as the winner of the Whitman Bassow Award
Outside/In “focuses on the outdoor world and science in a fun, engaging way. Host Sam Evans-Brown is a heck of an athlete—he once won Argentina’s national cross-country ski championships. He’s also the station’s environmental reporter, and the show hopes to use “long-form narrative storytelling to bring the outdoors to you wherever you are.” – Runner’s World
