The Uprising ft. LGBTQ Outdoors: Stonewall National Monument Jun 16, 2025

Show notes

Today we are joined by the founder of LGBTQ Outdoors, Justin Yoder, as we recount the story of Marsha P. Johnson and the Stonewall Uprising. In the early hours of June 28, 1969, a police raid on the Stonewall Inn ignited a rebellion that would change history. The Stonewall Uprising became the catalyst to a nationwide LGBTQ rights movement. At the heart of this moment was Marsha P. Johnson, a Black trans activist, drag queen, and revolutionary who became a symbol of resilience and joy in the face of injustice.

America’s Oldest Ghost Tour: Harpers Ferry National Historical Park Jun 09, 2025

Show notes

In the 1970s Shirley Dougherty moved to Harpers Ferry West Virginia and started experiencing strange occurrences. And she wasn’t alone. Residents were quick to tell her their own encounters with the paranormal, and she eventually complied them into a book - a text that became the foundation of what she claims to be America’s’ oldest ghost tour. Today Danielle brings us on a tour of our own through one of the country’s most spooky locations.

The Abduction of Betty and Barney Hill: White Mountain National Forest Jun 02, 2025

Show notes

In the fall of 1961, a couple driving through New Hampshire’s White Mountains encountered something no one could explain. What followed would become the first widely reported alien abduction case in American history — and the blueprint for every abduction story that came after.

No More Stolen Sisters: Missing and Murdered Indigenous People Awareness Month May 26, 2025

Show notes

In the summer of 2021, the world was captivated by the story of Gabby Petito, a young woman who went missing and was later found murdered in Wyoming. While her story is heartbreaking, the widespread media coverage concerning her case revealed something equally disturbing - the disproportionate attention to cases of missing young, conventionally attractive white women, compared to cases involving missing people of color, particularly those of Indigenous women. In honor of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People Awareness month we bring attention to two Indigenous women whose stories did not receive the same media attention as Gabby’s (and others like her), but are deserved of equal recognition and remembrance.

Revenge of the Tiger: Bikin National Park May 19, 2025

Show notes

In the winter of 1997 a man-eating tiger terrorized a remote village in the Russian Far East. This wasn’t a defensive attack — the tiger was hunting specific humans, with eerie patience and purpose. What followed is one of the most chilling wildlife stories ever documented.

Robbery Gone Wrong: Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument May 12, 2025

Show notes

On October 11th, 1923 deep in Tunnel 13 high in the Siskiyou mountains of Oregon, four men were killed in a train robbery gone wrong. The trio responsible had planned the crime and dreamed of stealing their way to a life of riches but made a series of fatal mistakes that would haunt them forever. What has gone down in Pacific Northwest history as “the last great American train robbery” is also recognized as the birth of modern American forensic criminology.

The Deadliest Avalanche in U.S. History: Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest May 05, 2025

Show notes

In 1910 two trains became stranded in Washington’s Cascade Mountains during a record-breaking snowstorm. After six harrowing nights, a massive avalanche swept them off the mountainside — the deadliest avalanche in U.S. history. More than a century later one question still lingers: could the disaster have been prevented?
