Outdoor Adventure and Epilepsy w/ Fran Turauskis of Seize Your Adventure
Fran Turauskis is a writer and creator of the Seize Your Adventure podcast, which showcases stories of adventurers and outdoor lovers alike who also happen to have epilepsy, After Fran walked the Camino de Santiago, solo, in 2017, she became uncomfortable with descriptions such as 'brave' and 'inspirational' when people learned about her epilepsy diagnosis. She created the Seize Your Adventure podcast to normalize the idea of epilepsy in adventure settings. Fran has a lot of good ol’ adventure stories to share with us as well we discuss where this all fits in both the classic and emerging adventure narratives. If you looking for more information on this term the “adventure narrative” check back to episode 2 of this podcast where we break that term down in detail with Bob Henderson. Check out Fran's work at her website Seize Your Adventure. Follow Fran on Twitter | Facebook.

Wilderness Survival, Sustainable Living & Other Sauna Stories in Finland w/ Huck Middeke
Huck Midekke is a Wilderness Guide and Survival Instructor based in Eastern Finland. Huck is the founder of NordicByNature which provides wilderness guide services, sustainability consulting, and survival workshops around the world, as well, he is Chairman of the International Wilderness Guide Association. Huck's latest endeavour is the establishment of Nomad Town/ Resilience Hub, an off-grid, minimalist, mobile, community that lies on the outskirts of Joensuu, Finland. We discuss much theory and philosophy of survival and it’s importance connect with nature in our anthropocentric world. Huck also introduces us to some methods of wilderness survival practice like the S.T.O.P method, the 6 Survival priorities, the 8 Shields Model and the practice of the #FullMoonFullStop which he suggests to use in daily life. I think we might be exploring some new frontiers here in the world of podcasting, at least on this show because our guest Huck is joining us from a sauna in Northern Finland. Enjoy!

Ecologizing Education: Estella Kuchta and Sean Blenkinsop
Our guests Estella Kuchta & Sean Blenkinsop discuss their long-term research project and upcoming book "Ecologizing Education". Ecologizing Education is a radical new, pedagogical model—one that aims to spark massive cultural change, resist and overcome alienation, prepare learners for the challenges of an uncertain future, and potentially reverse industrialized nations’ current destructive course.
