About this listen

Obsession. Risk. Forays into the unknown. Outroads is about more than the outdoors, it’s about the roads less taken, unconventional life choices, and the hidden truths beyond the standard nine-to-five.

Join Isaac as he speaks to a wide range of guests about the frivolous and the profound, tales of adventure and resilience, and the far-flung places we go to find ourselves.
