? EARS TO THE GROUND-

FOGO is the new FOMO: The fear of missing out — a theme that has been put on overdrive by being able to see what everyone is doing without being involved, thanks to the internet — has now been reversed to the extreme. Enter the Fear of Going Outside (FOGO): The outside world is a dark and overrated place — but, nonetheless, brave it we must. Show host Ivy Le is no Dora the Explorer: She’s a busy mom from Texas, and she has a number of allergies that don’t always make her outdoor experiences particularly pleasant. But she’s not letting that stop her from exploring nature. From meeting with survivalists who teach her how to hunt, to butchering a hog with a chef-hunter — beware, vegetarian “indoor besties,” Le warns at the beginning of the show — this podcast is quite a unique listen.
