If you aren’t a podcast subscriber yet, you are missing out on a vast world of entertainment and information. I subscribe to various podcasts, both video and audio, on a variety of subjects: DIY filmmaking, backpacking, creative advertising, comic books, independent filmmakers, software tutorials, vfx discussions, philosophy, conservation, gear, grammar, and much more. Some are great, some are so-so, but all keep me informed and educated. Often they lead me to other podcasts and various useful resources. Sometimes, it is difficult to keep up with them all.

For the last year, I have been listening to an audio podcast called The Dirtbag Diaries by Fitz Cahall. He takes real people’s stories of outdoor adventure, life-altering events, introspective moments and shares them with the audience. These are stories that will make you run the gamut of emotions and ultimately want to do something with your life. These stories will make you want to live. The podcast is well produced and always features great music (usually from bands I’d never heard previously).

I was pleased to see the latest entry a few days ago. Entitled "Happy New Year! This is what I’ve been working on," it is a two-minute video preview for a new podcast called The Season. Fitz has managed to do what I have been trying to figure out for months now, combine the outdoors and documentary into something visually and emotionally compelling. Below is the synopsis from their website:

The video in the preview is beautiful and inspiring. I am greatly looking forward to this series. If you are interested in outdoor sports, you’d be doing yourself a disservice not to take a look.
