Listen Later

🌲 “Off the Grid, On the Job: Interpreting Outdoors”

Wanda (hearing), Sam (Deaf) and I talk about what it take. to be an interpreter in the wilderness? From camps and conservation projects to climbing walls and multi-day trips, outdoor interpreting demands more than language skills.

In this episode, we dive into:

  • What outdoor interpreting can look like

  • Unique demands and settings (hiking, boats, climbing, biking)

  • Boundaries, safety, and teamwork on multi-day trips

  • Self-care when the work is physically and mentally demanding

At the time this episode was recorded, the Deaf Spotlight: Deaf Way Colorado was highlighted in good faith as a resource for the Deaf community. Since the original air date, the organization's founder and board chair was arrested in connection with serious allegations involving a minor. These legal proceedings are ongoing.

We unequivocally do not condone harmful or illegal behavior of any kind. We remain committed to supporting safe, ethical, and trusted resources for the Deaf community.

As Deaf Way Colorado is in the process of closing, we encourage listeners to connect with Deaf Colorado for continued community support and services.
