Today Doug opens the container with Mountain Gazette's Mike Rogge.

Doug opens the show by talking about the historical role of storytelling. He points out that storytelling is not merely a form of communication but a fundamental aspect of human evolution and something that allows us to connect with one another and understand our place in the cosmos. Storytelling is also a cornerstone of our outdoor community; something that evokes genuine engagement and reflection among its participants.

Doug is then joined by Mike Rogge, the owner of Mountain Gazette. Doug & Mike reflect on the modern challenges facing storytelling in a digital age, where brevity often overshadows depth. They both advocate for a return to more profound narratives that resonate with readers. Narratives that foster connection and understanding and also make you want to let it rip when you go outside.
