Introducing Raised in the Woods!

About this episode

The hosts introduce their new podcast, Raised in the Woods, focusing on outdoor activities and regional natural resources.

Welcome back to Raised in Wiscoooooooo- wait, no, that's the old show. We're super excited today because we're introducing Raised in the Woods for the first time! With Civic Media growing across the Mid West, our show is spreading its reach as well! Are we forgetting about Wisconsin? Are we too big for our home state? Heck no! We're taking the love of the outdoors that Wisconsin taught us and sharing it with our friends in Minnesota, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, and more! We share a region, but most importantly we share a love for all things outdoors. So welcome to the first episode of Raised in the Woods! Additional technical support by Morris Original LLC. Born in Wisconsin and making their adventurous lives here, Joel Kleefisch and Ellie Lawton have truly been Raised in the Woods. Each week, we connect YOU to the incredible natural resources of our region. From the Sleeping Bear Dunes to the Mississippi River and Lake of the Woods to Door County, Raised in the Woods has you covered! Whether you’re looking to find new ways to take food from field to table or for new outdoor hobbies, we’ve got you covered! For information on all of the programming across the Civic Media network…
