Out There is about to turn 5!
To celebrate, we are throwing a birthday party in the form of our first ever live storytelling night...and you are invited!
If you’ve ever been to a storytelling event hosted by The Moth, this will be a little like that: an evening of live stories, told by listeners like you.
The details
When? May 7, in the evening (stay tuned for exact timing)
Where? A big hangout … online. We know that all of you are spread across the globe, so instead of holding the festivities in a particular city, we’re doing it online. That way, you can participate from wherever you are in the world.
Theme? Beginners.
Pitch us a story!
What stories do you have about beginners in the outdoors? Maybe a time when you tried something and it took you somewhere unexpected? Or a story of new beginnings?
Interpret this as broadly and creatively as you’d like, and send us your story pitch!
How to pitch: Simply take out your phone, record a two-minute pitch of your story as a voice memo, and email it to us at outtherepodcast1@gmail.com with the subject line “Beginners pitch.” Please be sure to include your name and where in the world you are located. Please submit your pitch by April 3, 2020.
A few tips for the pitch:
Tell us the actual story, not just what it’s about. In other words: What happened? And how did it change you?
This isn’t the end product, and it doesn’t have to be totally fleshed out, but we do want a sense of the arc of your story and what impact it had on you.

Mark your calendars for May 7
…and get ready to curl up with a glass of wine and hear amazing stories from your fellow Out There fans.
Thank you all for listening to the show. It’s been a wild ride so far, and we are excited to see what the next five years bring for the show.
