SANDI AULT—Reporting from the WILD

Our country is falling off a cliff. Take it from someone who has spent some serious time on craggy canyon rims and treacherous slopes: when the structure of the surface beneath you starts to erode, fast-moving landslides can literally take away the ground on which you stand. In this country, we are all perched on the edge of a crumbling precipice right now.

Every week or so, I write a blog post on Substack. Then, a few days later, I...

This story is about a time when I lived in a high mountain valley. In the middle of the worst snowstorm in years, an infant needed to be taken to the hospital but the roads were closed and packed with three feet of snow. A small band of volunteer firefighters and community members banded together to relay the baby down the cliff-edged mountain road in the driving snow and darkness to meet an ambulance waiting below. When this creat...

I have a story to tell you about how—when things can change suddenly in your path—you can find your way around the danger.Too many have been too silent as the new oligarchy takes power in Washington, including our elected representatives. This has left us with the sound of silence and a vacuum in leadership. But how about you? Are you still silent, or have you sprung into action to defend our democracy? Or are you someplace in-betw...

This is Sandi Ault, reporting from the WILD. And this is the audio podcast companion to my blog on Substack. This is episode 3: A WILD ROBBERY—I WISH I HAD A RIVER

I'm going to tell you a story that really happened. It's about the time when I went to the post office, the bank was robbed, a baby was born, and—at least initially—a criminal got away with stealing in plain sight. And even though this is one of those you-can't-make-this-...

Episode 2 of the companion podcast to Sandi Ault’s Substack blog SANDI AULT—Reporting from the WILD… wherein I tell the story of a time when my husband and I barely survived a flood from monsoons in a remote desert canyon, because we got distracted and missed the warning signs. With so much at stake in our lives now, we need to pay attention to those alerts and warnings on our own inner dashboards.

SANDI AULT, award-winning author of the WILD Mystery Series, tries to make sense of a country that is torn apart following the 2024 election cycle. As the 2nd largest (and one of the most beautiful) cities in the country burns in a catastrophic result of decades of client denial, we can all see apocalyptic signs around us. An ex-president who was an exceedingly decent man dies just as an exceedingly indecent one prepares to rule, a...
