Shifting Sands: Big Bend National Park Jul 12, 2021

Show notes

This week we take a journey through twists and turns to el despoblado – “the uninhabited land.” Big Bend National Park is a place on the far reaches of civilization that stands impartial as the troubles and toils of existence play out. Most of the beings here are in a fight for their lives, struggling every single day just to ensure they see another. But what if that wasn’t the case? What if, despite all efforts, all wants and desires, you wanted to die ... but couldn’t?

Finders Keepers: Yellowstone National Park Jul 05, 2021

Show notes

Forrest Fenn was dying when he decided to concoct treasure hunt. He had plans to give 2 million dollars worth of his gold and treasures to anyone that could find where he hid it. He wrote a poem with nine clues that would lead one lucky person somewhere into the Rocky Mountains. What he wasn't counting on was all the people that would die, the destruction it would cause, and the crimes that he himself would become a victim of.

Little Islands: The Dark History of America’s National Parks Jun 14, 2021

Show notes

To celebrate National Indigenous History Month, we take a step back in history as Danielle flips back the pages of time and brings us to a dark chapter in US history. National Parks, some of our favorite places in the world, were once home to hundreds of indigenous nations. The lands we benefit from and enjoy today as parks came at the expense of others, others who lived and worshiped on those same lands for millennia. Lands that were stolen.

The World's Highest Graveyard: Sagarmatha National Park Jun 07, 2021

Show notes

We are heading to the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest in Sagarmatha National Park. In the past 80 years over 300 people have died on this mountain and many of their bodies have never been recovered. While tourism to summit Mount Everest has brought money to the country of Nepal it has also brought a huge problem - litter. In a climate where survival is more important than being respectful to our planet, over 100,000 pounds of trash have been left on top of Mount Everest, contaminating their water resources.
Today we will join a group of Nepali Sherpas who head out to summit Mount Everest to rid its peaks of garbage but to also recover bodies, something that has never before been done. With avalanches, freezing temperatures, and oxygen levels not compatible with survival, this team has a lot of obstacles to overcome if they are to make it out alive.
