Hot Drinks - Stories From The Field
Leading students on wilderness adventures make for some of the best stories. Join former National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) instructor and author of TEAMS ON THE EDGE Shawn Stratton each week as he interviews fellow outdoor educators from NOLS, Outward Bound, and other organizations to hear their most entertaining stories from leading expeditions with students around the world. Take a listen to these professional adventurers as they entertain you with stories of misadventures, wildlife encounters, first aid situations, challenging team dynamics, horrendous weather events, encounters with unique people, and, in many cases inspiring leadership.
My favorite podcast

Bringing some modern tech to the great Oral Tradition that exists within the world of outdoor leaders. Alternately funny, poignant, informative and inspirational! I realized listening to the is podcast that one of the best things and one of the most missed things from my time as a NOLS instructor, was this great collection of tales, some tall, but mostly true that would be swapped around campfires. This podcast is completely “feeding that jones” Perfect pod for Outdoor leaders and lovers. Even the novitiate will appreciate these wonderful stories. I’m gonna DM ya about a course and I-team you gotta interview. Keep up the great work!
Fun tales and lessons galore

The podcast has a fantastic mix of wilderness stories that range from the absurd to the insightful to the hilarious. Each episode I hear of dozens of great lessons that are transferable to business, relationships and life; while also having my passion for the outdoors invigorated. And there are some great laughs along the way. A truly great podcast for NOLS alum or anyone who needs to hear a great story. Thank you for putting this together for us!

Sean does a really nice job with his interviews - especially if you are a “NOLSie” but really if you are interested in outdoor education or guiding, this show is worth a listen for sure!

Shawn is capturing outdoor education stories and history from some of the best instructors that worked in the field over the past few decades. I love that this is being recorded for posterity sake. I’ve caught a serous case of homesickness for the best career I ever had. Enjoy!
