Nightcrawlers

Exposure collection

By: Rosecrans Baldwin

Narrated by: Rosecrans Baldwin

A revealing ride-along with New England’s teenage volunteer EMTs - boys and girls pulled away from their homework to save lives when the sun goes down.

It’s a Darien, Connecticut, tradition: an emergency medical service managed by adolescents. One kid is a varsity soccer captain. There’s a future doctor, a band dork, a theater geek. Theirs is a view of town without the niceties. A drunken spouse turned violent. Lonely old people stuck in the bath. A midlife suicide. How do these kids process the sometimes shocking and violent life-and-death secrets of their community? The answer is a story of high stress and uncommon high school lives, told by a writer who spent his own youth on the night shift. Welcome to Post 53.

Rosecrans Baldwin’s Nightcrawlers is part of Exposure, a collection of six incredible and true stories of American double lives from millionaire CEOs and suburban teens to undercover investigators and scam artists - all for whom secrets are a way of life. Each piece can be listened to in a single astonished sitting.

Excellent. Short, but perfectly descriptive.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Honestly when I saw the length I expected it to be... not that good:- I suppose. However, by the end I realized it was the perfect length, everything that needed to be said was described in perfect detail. I would definitely recommend this to other people. Of course that is with the understanding that this is just my given thought on the matter and of course other people's thoughts may differ. However I would still encourage them to try it.

Nice summary

The book did what it set out to do, expose the reader/listener to the EMS run by teens in Darien CT.
A brief look back at the authors EMS involvement in the 1990’s and current EMS ops. Also a brief history of the town itself, primarily from a socioeconomic standpoint.

Extraordinary teens saving lives in a small town

A great, quick listen about Darien, CT teens who almost exclusively run their EMS service. The author was a former EMT at that post and he reflects on his time there as well as follows up with past and current members to get their perspective and memories. I also really appreciate that he doesn't turn away from the underbelly, past and current racism, and exclusivity and exclusion that occurs there. I love this series of short investigative profiles and want to check out other works by these authors.

Great listen!

Great writer, great reader. Fascinating topic. Can’t wait to listen to the next story in the book!
