About The Sharp End Podcast

Ashley Saupe started The Sharp End Podcast in November of 2015 because she believes it’s essential to learn from other people’s mistakes. The goal of her show is to minimize future outdoor accidents by way of storytelling. Real people sharing real stories. She believes we all need to shift our way of thinking about accidents and intentionally create a culture that allows people to share their stories, judgment, shame, and guilt-free. It’s easy to be an armchair expert, but it’s not that easy to listen and learn. By doing that, we can all grow into a much stronger outdoor community by learning from each other and supporting one another along the way.
