Whoop! Whoop! Host Erika Gilsdorf (that’s me!) is an international, award-winning video producer, who leaves the camera behind (for the most part) to let conversations breathe authentically in a podcast that spans diverse guests and topics. I include mental health guests, too who help us cope with all the crap and find joy amidst all the junk happening to our outdoors. Uffda…it’s a lot! (I’m a Minnesotan if you can't tell). Most importantly, this is a podcast about inspiration, hope, action, and connection. We have each other my friends!","last_synced_at":"2026-07-29T00:17:45.982777+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-global-grit-experience-7725883"},"episode":{"title":"Building Nests to Help Loons","slug":"building-nests-to-help-loons","published_at":"2026-05-19T14:15:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-global-grit-experience-7725883/building-nests-to-help-loons","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-global-grit-experience-7725883","url":"https://theglobalgritexperience.com/episode/building-nests-to-help-loons","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/0be92c1e-3dfc-4fa7-8a9b-92e0f35ceb25.mp3","summary":"With declining natural shorelines from development, loon numbers have been hurting. People like my guest Mark Backes on Big Fish Lake in Minnesota are building loon nests to help them out. Hear what goes into making a loon nest, the success they're having, and some fun loon facts along the way.
