WEBVTT - Introducing: Natural Causes

0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Hi.

0:00:02.320 --> 0:00:03.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm doctor James Stout.

0:00:03.760 --> 0:00:05.440
<v Speaker 1>You might know me as a host of yekadapp and

0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:08.959
<v Speaker 1>here podcast, but now I'm also hosting Natural Causes, a

0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:14.040
<v Speaker 1>podcast about going outside. I'm a historian, journalist, and outdoors person.

0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>You might know me for my working conflicts and migration,

0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:19.239
<v Speaker 1>but i grew up with both parents working in agriculture,

0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:21.800
<v Speaker 1>and since then I've hiked, climbed, ridden, and paddled all

0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 1>over the world. I've always found healing in nature, and

0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I've always felt most of peace in the wilderness.

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:28.320
<v Speaker 2>That's why I'm madics hell.

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>About the people trying to destroy our special places and

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:33.199
<v Speaker 1>the places that are sacred to some of us, just

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:34.360
<v Speaker 1>so they can make a quick buck.

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 2>In twenty twenty six, going outside is political.

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 1>We've got senators trying to sell off public land, wildfires

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.600
<v Speaker 1>burning on our big cities, and the Trump administration stripping

0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:47.239
<v Speaker 1>protections on sacred land from the southern California desert to

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 1>the Arctic Circle.

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 2>And I'll be bringing you on the ground reporting from

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:51.520
<v Speaker 2>both places.

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I've written for outdoor publications for more than a decade,

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>and I'm proud of the work we've done. But there

0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>are some things that you can't say there now that

0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>I can say here. Capitalism is this drawing up planet.

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.959
<v Speaker 1>Public land is stolen land, and I don't think giving

0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:07.120
<v Speaker 1>one percent of profits to ngngos is going to fix it.

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I want to combine on flinching journalism with unabashed advocacy

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 1>for our planet and the people and creatures we share

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:15.479
<v Speaker 1>it with, so the future generations can enjoy the same

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:15.960
<v Speaker 1>things we do.

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 2>And I promise you no top ten gear lists.

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>So join me as we talk about what cyclosporer might

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 1>tell us about the rights of farm workers, where the

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:27.640
<v Speaker 1>DOJA is suing big egg producers, how your raincoat might

0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.319
<v Speaker 1>be putting forever chemicals in fish, and how we can

0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>all benefit from indigenous leadership on fire management and living

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 1>with fire. We'll have some fun too, like talking about

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.639
<v Speaker 1>our ungovernable friend the have Alina and their war on golf.

0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:41.880
<v Speaker 1>I want you to love the outdoors as much as

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:44.960
<v Speaker 1>I do, and that means making more people feel safe, comfortable,

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 1>and welcome in.

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.120
<v Speaker 2>The back country and the front country.

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>So we'll be covering how, when and where to touch

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 1>grass and answering the questions you didn't know to ask.

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Listen to natural causes. Starting on a seventeenth August on

0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:00.800
