Two passionate adventurers with a mission to unite outdoor enthusiasts worldwide—this conversation with CW Goetz and Maya Marzocchi from The Outdoors People Show reveals how unexpected connections can blossom into meaningful partnerships that transcend continents.

Their story begins with a t-shirt that traveled from North America to Brazil, taking three months to arrive and sparking what would become a dynamic co-hosting relationship. What makes their partnership particularly fascinating is how they complement each other—CW with his lifelong love of camping and canoeing that began in his childhood backyard, and Maya with her transformative journey from having a fear of heights to becoming an accomplished rock climber who now "feels alive" when scaling extreme heights.

The conversation dives deep into cultural differences in outdoor participation, particularly highlighting the challenges women face in adventure sports. Maya speaks candidly about Brazil's gender dynamics: "Here women need to fight three times harder to achieve whatever we want." Yet despite these barriers, she's built Brazilian Outdoor Adventure (BOA), a company dedicated to showing international visitors the natural wonders of her homeland.

What sets The Outdoors People Show apart is their focus on humans rather than just activities. As CW explains, "We get to know Maya Marzocchi through her climbing. We didn't get to know her climbing through Maya Marzocchi." This human-centered approach has allowed them to discover extraordinary stories of transformation, where outdoor adventures become vehicles for personal growth and cross-cultural understanding.

Their shared philosophy—that outdoor adventures should be free from ego and open to everyone—resonates throughout the conversation. Whether discussing CW's drum-making past (including crafting for Neil Peart) or Maya's approach to confronting fears head-on, their stories remind us that the outdoors offers endless possibilities for discovery, both of the world around us and of ourselves.

Meet Tim and Ade, the charismatic British brothers behind the Casual Camping Podcast who have built their show on authentic outdoor experiences and infectious laughter. When they joined us, we discovered how their weekly phone conversations about camping gear and adventures naturally evolved into a podcast—now in its third successful season.

What makes their approach unique in the outdoor content space is their commitment to keeping camping accessible and fun. Unlike many gear-focused channels, Tim and Ade prioritize light-hearted discussions that celebrate the joy of outdoor experiences. Their no-sponsorship policy allows them complete freedom to share honest opinions about equipment and destinations. As they jokingly shared, if you skip forward 10 seconds repeatedly through any episode, you'll essentially create a laugh track—a testament to the genuine brotherly banter that forms the heart of their show.

Our conversation revealed fascinating contrasts between UK and Canadian camping cultures. While Canadians enjoy Crown Land camping with remarkable freedom to explore wilderness areas, UK campers face significant restrictions with limited wild camping opportunities and private ownership of many waterways. This led to enlightening discussions about how we adapt our camping styles to our environments—from Tim's beloved three-meter bell tent (his "one-man tent" complete with wood-burning stove) to Ade's enthusiasm for winter camping with modern amenities.

Both podcast teams shared personal insights about what makes camping special: the community that forms around campfires, the balance between adventure and comfort, and knowing your personal limits when planning trips. Whether you're new to camping or an experienced outdoor enthusiast, there's something refreshingly genuine about their approach that reminds us all why we seek these connections with nature and each other.

Then grab your gear, gather some friends, and create your own camping memories—because as both our podcasts agree, the out
