    Finding a Waypoint Home
    Apr 12 2026

    Dehydration on Mt. Rainier, white water rapids, pulling a 100 foot house boat with rope, and slot canyon-level focus. Peter Stark and Jimmy Mac welcome Army combat vet Sarah Lee, founder of Waypoint Vets, a charity that provides transformative wilderness adventures for veterans. Sarah discusses how losing the identity and structure of military life brought her to rock bottom, how getting lost kept her from losing herself, and the clean slate feeling of an empty place. She also explains how Waypoint Vets curates adventures for seekers of all levels and abilities that help vets find meaning and rewrite what they thought they were capable of through shared experiences and trust in others–and themselves.

    Let's Get Lost
    Mar 23 2026
    Before heading out to get lost on their adventure in podcasting, author-adventurer Peter Stark and wandering broadcaster Jimmy Mac catch up listeners with their friendship’s origin story, which begins with Peter’s acclaimed book Young Washington. What follows is tales of America’s founding father’s wilderness expedition, barge trips in France, musing on why we yearn to “head out,” and, ultimately, deciding exactly what a last empty place is.

    Apr 5 2026

    Peter Stark and Jimmy Mac uncover metaphors for loss as they discuss the transformative experience of starting anew–including Peter’s very own origin story that took him from the depths of the 1973 oil crisis to the peaks of the Himalayas, and back again. Plus: What to do when you want to panic, what happens when the center does not hold, what incites the world’s greatest stories–and a look at Lord of the Flies.
