In this episode of The Long Roll Podcast, we sit down with National Geographic Explorer and award-winning photojournalist Hailey Sadler to talk about the power of storytelling in some of the world’s most complex and challenging environments. From her work across the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia to her background in U.S. foreign policy, Hailey brings a rare blend of empathy, depth, and clarity to the way she documents trauma, memory, and identity.
We explore how her experience on Capitol Hill influences the way she tells stories, why she co-founded The Home Collective, and what it means to work with intention and care in conflict zones. Hailey also shares insights into the emotional toll of long-form journalism, how she builds trust with her subjects, and the importance of creating space for underrepresented voices.
Whether you're a creative, a journalist, or someone who simply cares about the human experience behind the headlines — this conversation is for you.
