Host Archana Ram explores the foundational nature of knowledge, and asks the questions that matter about our relationship with each other and the natural world. How are lessons passed through generations to help us feel at home? What barriers prevent us from acquiring natural wisdom? How can we adapt in the face of a rapidly changing climate? And so much more. Knowledge acts as a vessel; it must be shared, kept, evolved, and passed on. Please join us at Patagonia Stories.

This December, we’re excited to launch our new podcast, Patagonia Stories. In each episode, host Archana Ram will explore how we gather knowledge and ask questions about our relationship to each other and the natural world. Questions like, how are lessons passed down through generations to help us feel at home? What barriers prevent us from acquiring natural wisdom? How can we adapt in the face of a rapidly changing climate? There’s so much more to come. Join us for the first season of Patagonia Stories wherever you get your podcasts.

We also interview Nancy Bockino, a forest ecologist and avalanche professional who is working to restore an entire ecosystem by saving the whitebark pine. At the Archives, Val and Terri explain how Yvon Chouinard’s worn out craghopper shorts became the seed for Patagonia clothing.

Collaborative Knowledge

What barriers keep us from experiencing nature? In this episode, we share stories of people who are building access to the outdoors. First, we go on a run with Kiko and Kyra Sweeney in Mazanita, Oregon. As a blind runner, Kyra explains how the sport hasn’t always been accessible to her and why being part of a family of runners has changed that. We also hear from journalist Sofia Arredondo about Raúl Revilla Quiroz, one of the fathers of Mexican rock climbing who made his own gear back in the 1940s and 1950s and helped establish a tight-knit climbing community in the region. At the Patagonia Archives, Terri shares the story of one of her favorite items—a $9 piece of climbing gear that made its way from Yvon Chouinard’s car back in 1966 to our headquarters 40 years later.

Accessible Knowledge

How can art build a connection to nature? What lessons can we learn through song, images and writing? In this episode, we interview musical duo The Local Honeys about how their home landscape of Kentucky and the coal mining industry have shaped their communities and music.

His writing dives into the secrets that rivers keep and the contradictions of loving a sport that can impact those precious ecosystems. At the Patagonia Archives, Val and Terri give us a peek at Patagonia's pattern making process (try saying that five times fast).
