America Outdoors with Baratunde Thurston Season 2 Premieres September 6

Series Returns with More Experiences off the Beaten Path to Explore What Drives Our Passion for the Outdoors in Six New Locations

America Outdoors with Baratunde Thurston returns for a second season on Wednesdays, September 6-October 11 at 7 p.m. on TPT 2. Produced for PBS by TPT and Part2 Pictures, the nationally broadcasted series is hosted by New York Times bestselling author, podcaster, and outdoor enthusiast, Baratunde Thurston. The series follows him on an adventure- filled journey across the U.S. to discover how nature shapes the way Americans work, play, and interact with the outdoors. In its second season, America Outdoors will highlight even more regions and environments, finding unique expressions of our outdoor culture in Utah, Maine, Arkansas, New Mexico, Oregon and the Suwannee River, in Georgia and Florida.

“I love getting to experience this country through the lives of people deeply connected to nature,” said Thurston. “I’ve witnessed healing, transformation, and plain old fun. This second season has more America and more outdoors!”

New this season, episodes will dig into the growing evidence that links people’s overall health and wellness with being outside, and will also explore new ways of making the outdoors accessible to everyone. The series will also continue to showcase how Americans seek out the outdoors in the most unlikely of places, even as our changing climate grows more extreme. The broadcast series and its companion web series, America Outdoors: Understory , will also be available to stream on tpt.org and the PBS app.
