What does it mean to find peace, purpose, and power in the great outdoors while being rooted in community?

That’s the central question driving “We Outside,” a new podcast and radio series from WYSO that explores the intersection of mental wellness, outdoor recreation, and community building in Black communities across the Miami Valley and beyond.

Hosted by Tracy “Trae” Elzy, a licensed psychotherapist, multimedia artist, and WYSO Community Voices producer, the series examines stories of resilience, restoration, and representation in parks, on trails, and along the riverfront.

The series is supported by Five Rivers MetroParks and produced at the Eichelberger Center for Community Voices at WYSO.

New episodes of “We Outside” are available on WYSO.org and wherever you get your podcasts.
