The Spotify podcast FOGO: Fear of Going Outside is back for a second season which launched today, available on all platforms with Episodes 1&2 currently streaming. In the first season Ivy conquered camping, and she’s back for another season, braving the outdoors to go hunting - or die trying. FOGO: Fear of Going Outside is a nature show - by the most reluctant host ever. Most nature shows are hosted by reckless white men, but avid indoorswoman Ivy Le is an Asian mom with severe allergies. Ivy explains: “I’m a nature show host you can trust. I’m not going to tell you something is majestic when it f*cking sucks. Terrible things happen to me when I go outside. I’ve gotten caught in a dust storm. I’ve nearly drowned several times. I’m allergic to cold air. And I have a great BS meter. It’s so satisfying when an interviewer asks the question that you were thinking next. That’s me. I ask the questions that indoor people want to know. I’m overcoming my fears to find out what’s so great about the outdoors, so you don’t have to.” In FOGO Season 2 you will hear Ivy bravely… - Go on a second amendment talk radio show, trying to borrow a gun - Take down Teddy Roosevelt - Beg and bribe prospective hunting mentors like Don Nguyen (Naked & Afraid) to take her hunting - Butcher a whole hog with chef-hunter Jesse Griffiths - Track animals with a 14 year-old Girl Scout …and run into just about every obstacle there is to becoming a first-time hunter. FOGO is featured on Delta flights and recommended by The Guardian, CBC, Oprah and, inexplicably, Outside Magazine. Ivy was selected to be one of the 10 out of 18,000 applicants to go through Spotify’s first SoundUp podcast accelerator for women of color. FOGO: Fear of Going Outside is available on all platforms. Executive Producers are Miguel Contreras, Grace Delia, Jane Zumwalt, and Natalie Tulloch. Other producers include Myrriah Gossett and Minda Wei.
