Voice memo: America Outdoors behind the scenes

A hosting confessional on the challenges of making this show

Hello from Northern Minnesota!

I have had to pause my regular weekly emails as I wrap the filming for my PBS series America Outdoors. It won’t air until summer 2022 but I thought I would share a moment or reflection I had while filming. It’s the sort of thing I built this list for.

I am likely to keep everyone receiving the paid subscriber-only messages like this through my birthday on September 11 as my birthday gift to you.

I return with your regular emails soon! Miss ya.
