About this episode
Today I bring you an interview with current Philmont staffer, Paul French. We kick it off by chatting about Paul’s experiences as a participant on Rayado. We go on to discuss Paul’s passion for Philmont’s interpretive backcountry program, and how it’s a gateway to spark curiosity and humanize history.
