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":"Why Protecting Public Lands Matters - And How We Can Help","slug":"why-protecting-public-lands-matters-and-how-we-can-help","published_at":"2026-07-28T12:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-global-grit-experience-7725883/why-protecting-public-lands-matters-and-how-we-can-help","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-global-grit-experience-7725883","url":"https://theglobalgritexperience.com/episode/our-public-lands-are-shrinking-but-we-can-help","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/550fb14e-db8b-4d48-acd2-8c194ef880c8.mp3","summary":"Erika walks on the North Country Trail with Matt Davis, the Regional Trail Coordinator for MN, ND and WI for the nonprofit, North Country Trail Association.
