America the Beautiful? by Blythe Roberson (Book Club) May 26, 2026

Show notes

Laugh along with Blythe Roberson and Christine Reed as they talk National Park road trips and a boatload of book recommendations. What started out as a journey to challenge the gender narrative (or more specifically which gender gets to tell what narrative) becomes an exploration of conservation, ecotourism, and inequality.
