On The Outside

We need to talk about the outdoors. Not just the epic stories, but the important news, the big events and the social issues that permeate the whole of the outdoors. On The Outside is for everyone who spends their leisure time outdoors in the UK. It helps you engage in the wider outdoor community through the conversations of our diverse panel. We are enthusiasts and experts from a range of outdoors activities, and we're talking about the news stories that matter to us - from specific sports news, to headline stories about our countryside, and the viral posts that capture outdoors culture - all in a jargon and judgement free way! On The Outside is part of the Tremula Network.

It's time to talk about money in the outdoor sector. I know there are individuals and groups having these conversations on a case-by-case level. We decided not to talk about this on the podcast until now because we didn’t want to be outing individual experiences with payment.

But in August, Matt Barr from the Looking Sideways podcast posted this:

Open Thread: is it ever OK for brands not to pay creatives or contributors fairly for their time and expertise?

And Matt and Soraya had a chat on Looking Sideways that spoke in part about money.

In this episode, I ask Matt more about the catalyst for posting that thread, and we pick apart the question itself. After our chat, you’ll hear some of the Looking Sideways podcast and then several talking heads.
