118. Best of 2023

For the year's final episode, episode 118, we've picked out our top-ranking episodes of 2023 to recap and return to some of our listener's favorite conversations. We release an episode every Monday, so many other amazing episodes are available beyond these five, but if this is your first time listening, this is an excellent place to start.

Looking back on 2023, I want to thank all our listeners for making this our best year yet. We've grown a lot this past year, and I am excited to see what 2024 has in store for us. I also want to thank our podcast sponsors, Diorite Gear and Lava Linens, for their support in making this production possible.

One big announcement for 2024 is the release of the 10-part podcast series Forever Chemicals. If you were a fan of episode 111, Phasing out PFAS in Outdoor Equipment, you'll want to subscribe to our weekly newsletter at theoutdoorminimalist.com to stay updated on release dates and trailers for the Forever Chemicals limited series.

If you want to support our work and the upcoming Forever Chemicals series, please consider donating to our GoFundMe—link in the show notes. And if you can't support us monetarily, I'd love it if you could leave us a review on Apple podcasts. Reviews are a free way to support the show and to help new listeners find content that aligns with their interests and values.

Without further ado, here are the top five episodes of 2023 based on listener analytics.

1. 111. Phasing Out PFAS in Outdoor Equipment with Fjallraven
