Ordinary People, Extraordinary Wilderness: Author Jeff Krogstad
Episode 8
Tuesday, 10 February, 2026
Winter in the Boundary Waters is unforgiving—and that's exactly why Minnesota author Jeff Krogstad set his thriller Disappointment Mountain there. Jeff joins us to talk about writing wilderness fiction, the creative parallels between surviving in the backcountry and navigating life's challenges, and what the frozen north reveals about human resilience. Plus: real bear encounters, the art of making fiction believable, and why the Boundary Waters transforms everyone who enters it.
