ABOUT TENNESSEE VALLEY UNCHARTED

Tennessee and the Southeast is home to what many consider some of the nation's best natural resources for hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation.

PopFizz teams up with Designsensory to create a 30-minute outdoor TV show called TN Uncharted that follows a dynamic host, Erick Baker, through various adventures and outdoor experiences; to get the next generation up off the couch and into the outdoors. We traveled all across the state of Tennessee and beyond to see what towns, big and small, had to offer and we had a ton of fun doing it. We loved working with PBS on this broadcast production.

We fly fished on rivers like the South Holston, drove vintage Broncos on the trails at Windrock, won some Emmy awards, rappelled into caves, and had unique travel experiences across the seven southern states that make up the Tennessee Valley. We feel like we truly got to experience things that were uncharted.
