Stupid Hike for My Stupid Mental Health Podcast

This is a podcast about mental health, public lands, public policy, and finding your way back outside. Hosted by Andy Neal, @andyfilmsandhikes, creator of Stupid Hike for My Stupid Mental Health, this show explores how the outdoors helps us breathe, heal, reconnect, and keep going, while also digging into the policies and political decisions that shape access to those places. Because public lands are not just pretty backdrops. They are part of our mental health, our communities, and our future. And protecting them means paying attention to who makes the decisions, who gets access, and what happens when those places are threatened. Through honest conversations, personal stories, and interviews with creators, advocates, and everyday people, this podcast is about the messy middle of life, the power of getting outside, and the fight to keep public lands in public hands.
