"Patroller Chats" in the PNWD - The Podcast
What started as a way to support, The History Project, led by our own amazing Shirely Cummings, PNWD Historian- has grown into a fun, informative, and inspiring podcast where we connect with patrollers, hosts, and friends from across the PNWD. Join cohosts Jodie and Murph as they dive into the stories, traditions, and unique histories of patrols, areas and the people throughout the division while having a good time, informative, spirited at times, and always full of heart.
-
Launched at the 2023 PNWD Convention, Patroller Chats celebrates our passion for patrolling, hosts, being on and off the snow, and storytelling. Upholding the NSP Creed: Service & Safety since 1938—we are preserving our past while building connections for the future.
