As the Outdoors Weekend Editor at the Star Tribune, Bob Timmons shares stories about all the ways in which people in the Upper Midwest have fun outside - from FKTs on the Superior Hiking Trail to “Everesting” on the Ohio Street Hill in St. Paul. We talk with him about how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted activity in the BWCA and beyond, and how climate change is changing what winter recreation looks like in Minnesota. Plus, what sparked his love of the outdoors and where he likes to spend time in nature today.

Jodi and Andy chat with Ian and Lynn about the 515 Productions documentary film Freshwater. Ian got the idea when he first spotted surfers riding the cold waves of Lake Superior. Three years later, it’s evolved into a feature-length documentary that delves into surfing, science, climate change and finding inspiration in the waves of one of the biggest lakes in the world.
