New York Times bestselling author, podcaster and outdoor enthusiast Baratunde Thurston crosses the country, traveling from Los Angeles to Appalachia, as he continues to explore the many different types of landscapes that shape how Americans work and play outdoors.
In Appalachia: A Different Way, Baratunde meets the people of Appalachia who are driving a revolution in how we see and interact with nature. We’ll meet a record-breaking hiker, former coal miners who now raise bees, and activists who are working to make the outdoors accessible to everyone.
Watch America Outdoors with Baratunde Thurston Tuesdays at 9pm through August 9 on WITF, or on your own schedule through the PBS Video app and online. Episodes are available to stream for free on-demand for four weeks after their broadcast premiere.
