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.

Welcome to northern Minnesota! I knew that’s where you were based on your photo contest on IG. Thank you for sharing this. Having visited up north for a while and holding space with my indigenous neighbors and learning about line3, I can understand where you’re coming from. I am looking forward to the show even more now, knowing it has this sensitivity - that you bring- to its content. Rest then back at it.🙏🏼
Don't lose sight of the mission but rest assured its okay to take a break. You're doing amazing and extremely important work. It takes great strength to confront and tackle these issues head-on. Can't wait to see the final product in 2022!
