Off the Beaten Path Podcast Amplifies Underrepresented Voices in the Outdoor and 2A Space
Posted on: Jul 30, 2025
With 12 published episodes and over 250 organic downloads, Off the Beaten Path is carving out space as a thoughtful and culturally relevant voice in outdoor and Second Amendment media.
Produced by Apex Mountain, this podcast brings attention to stories not often heard in mainstream outdoor circles. Season 1 features a diverse lineup of guests — including women, people of color, and non-traditional gun owners — who share how they found their way into the outdoors and the 2A community. Each episode offers a candid, deeply personal look at identity, belonging, and discovery through the lens of outdoor life and firearm culture.
Exploring New Terrain in Outdoor Storytelling
What sets Off the Beaten Path apart is its immersive format. Each episode combines one-on-one interviews with live original music created in real-time, by Rob 'Breezy' Henson, offering a listening experience that blends culture, creativity, and personal narrative. Rather than focusing solely on gear or policy, the show explores the emotional and cultural connections people have with the land, freedom, and self-reliance.
The podcast’s commitment to diversity and authenticity helps expand the conversation around who participates in outdoor and firearm culture — and why.
A Platform That Resonates
Surpassing 250 downloads with little formal promotion, the podcast has built a grassroots audience through social media and word-of-mouth. Its early success reflects growing interest in perspectives that challenge the conventional narratives often found in the outdoor and 2A spaces.
Backed by the creative agency Apex Mountain, the team sees this first season as a foundation. Plans for Season 2 are already in motion, with the goal of continuing to elevate inclusive stories and bring new voices into the spotlight.
