The Out of Doors w/ Doyle Clark Podcast has now officially launched on Apple iTunes Podcast Directory, or at least that’s what it used to be called. It’s been fourteen years since I launched a podcast. Back then it was D-boi’s Jazz Interrogation of the Nation (or the Dboi Show for short). It featured neither Jazz, nor firm questioning, but it did feature me. It was a video podcast that followed none of the particular “rules” of a successful podcast. It also didn’t quite fit into the newly emerging, at that time, category of Vlog. I mean, come on, YouTube was still fresh as a daisy but had been acquired by Google. But, let’s discuss the Out of Doors podcast.

I have always had a passion about the great outdoors and conservation and the primal connection that we as human beings feel toward our mother nature. I will gladly talk someone’s ear off about these sorts of things, and my heart swelled up with joy when my six-year-old daughter brought home a Cub Scout recruitment flyer. It didn’t take long for the Pack to recruit me to leadership. One meeting. That’s it, that’s all it took. Also, after bringing home the excitement of just one meeting, my daughter recruited her older brother (ten-year-old) to join up. Believe it or not, it only took a couple more meetings for my wife to be recruited into leadership. Not a light accomplishment, she is one busy lady. But that’s the thing… we’re all bound together by this unexplainable draw to get outside and play, walk, eat, or just observe.

That’s what this podcast is about. I’m not going to pretend to have the answers. In fact, there will be more questions than answers. I hope you’ll join me in trying to find the answers outside.
