The Brave Souls take on icy waters in this College Podcast Challenge entry

A group called the "Brave Souls" plunge into icy river waters each week — a podcast about them is a finalist in NPR's College Podcast Challenge.

This is an excerpt from "Brave Souls" by Eliza Dunn, a student at Dartmouth College. Her story is a finalist in the 2024 NPR College Podcast Challenge.
