About This Podcast

The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast is the megaphone for the global 1000 Hours Outside movement, created to help people embrace hands-on living in a tech-saturated world. Hosted by bestselling author and founder Ginny Yurich, each episode explores the countercultural idea that kids - and adults - thrive when they choose real-world options over virtual ones.   Featuring conversations with leading voices in parenting, nature, education, mental health, neuroscience, faith, and free play, and rooted in research and rich with practical encouragement, the show invites listeners to slow down, step outside, and join a growing movement committed to reclaiming childhood, reconnecting families, and restoring mental health - one hour at a time.
