The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast

  • Summary

  • Childhood is finite at just shy of 9.5 million minutes. We only get one shot at it. One of the biggest decisions we make is how we will use that time. Research has confirmed time and time again that what children are naturally and unabashedly drawn to, unrestricted outside play, contributes extensively to every area of childhood development. The importance here cannot be understated. Every year we aim to match nature time with the average amount of American kid screen time (which is currently 1200 hours per year). Have a goal. Track your time outside. Take back childhood. Inspire others.

    1KHO 400: The Skills We’ve Forgotten - Rebuilding Connection in a Lonely World with Dr. John Delony
    Dec 20 2024
    In one of the most powerful and transformative episodes of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Dr. John Delony joins host Ginny Yurich for an unfiltered and deeply engaging conversation about the disconnection epidemic and how we can reclaim our lives through intentional relationships.

Dr. Delony shares practical tools, including his "Questions for Humans" series, and explores how real connection requires vulnerability, presence, and intentionality.

very informative and fun to listen to!

I just had my first baby this spring and through my endless research on how to be the best parent in the world, I stumbled on the 1000 hours outside challenge (which we will be doing next year as well as trying to get as much time outside as possible for the remainder of this year). I was then so excited to find this podcast! This podcast offers a range of topics focusing on wellness that benefit adults and children alike! Keep up the good work Ginny!

Best Podcast For Raising Kids

This podcast is the only one I prioritize to keep up on. The topics range enough to help in all areas of raising children, but the concept runs deep, and the roots are there for all topics, that being outside helps! I'm in awe of what I learn and regularly hear my friends learn. This podcast is a topic of discussion regularly with my friends, and it just keeps spreading as we pass it along as a suggestion to others. I cannot recommend this enough!
