The diverse outdoor voices podcast from the BMC and proudly sponsored by Berghaus.
W
e want to diversify the people we normally hear talking about the outdoors, celebrate their stories, shine a light on their insights, and create a place for discussion, inclusion and practical advice. Welcome to Finding Our Way, our new podcast to champion walkers, climbers and mountaineers from diverse backgrounds
Hosted by expedition leader and equity champion Cress Allwood, and the BMC’s hiking ambassador and broadcaster, Mary-Ann Ochota, each guest explains the highs, the lows and the most surprising things they’ve learned from their adventures. We talk to the people who are passionate about walking climbing and mountaineering, but also who have more to say. What about climbing the North Face of the Eiger whilst also managing Crohn's disease as well? What about having your period as you summit an 8,000m peak? What about organising a hiking group but not using the word hiking in case you put people off? In this first series of Finding Our Way. we explore mental health and expedition leaders, trad climbing, Everest base camp, waterproof trousers, wearing kilts, eating cake and Bob Marley...
Mary-Ann Ochota says: “Finding Our Way is all about interesting people who are passionate about hills, mountains and walls. We tackle issues around diversity and inclusion – how to make clubs more welcoming, for example, or ways to improve urban access to wild places, or travel ethically. But we also celebrate the straightforward passion our guests have for the outdoors. That’s inspiring, and it’s been an absolute joy to interview them. I can’t wait for series 2!"
