| The Most Hated Man in Yellowstone: Yellowstone National Park | 07 Sep 2026 | 01:14:14 | |
It’s hard to get an entire National Park to hate you … unless your name is EC Waters. Considered one of the most despised men to have ever stepped foot in Yellowstone, Waters left his mark - for better or worse - on the world’s first park. The owner of the first boating company to operate on Yellowstone Lake, he was obnoxious, petty and ran a zoo from hell. He was kicked out of the park multiple times before being exiled forever, but his namesake - a ship that bears his name - can still be seen in Yellowstone today.

| The U.S. Forest Service’s Deadliest Aviation Disaster: Nez Perce National Forest | 31 Aug 2026 | 01:11:12 | |
In June 1979, a group of U.S. Forest Service employees and volunteers
boarded a routine flight into the remote Idaho backcountry to begin
another summer season at the Moose Creek Ranger District. They never
arrived. When both engines of their DC-3 failed over the narrow Selway
River canyon, the pilots fought to keep the powerless aircraft in the
air as the passengers prepared for the worst. What followed was a
remarkable story of survival, an enormous wilderness rescue effort, and
an investigation that uncovered the failures behind the deadliest
aviation disaster in U.S. Forest Service history.

| The Grizzly Mauling That Changed Yellowstone National Park | 22 Jun 2026 | 01:21:55 | |
In June 1972, 23-year-old Harry Walker left Alabama for the adventure of a lifetime. Days after arriving in Yellowstone National Park, he was killed by a grizzly bear. Harry's death exposed decades of controversial bear management practices and sparked a legal battle against the federal government. At the center of it all was a question that Yellowstone had been struggling to answer for generations: how do you keep bears wild while keeping people safe?

| Abducted on Lake Champlain | 08 Jun 2026 | 01:12:06 | |
On the shores of Vermont’s Lake Champlain in the summer of 1968, two camp counselors watched a glowing craft descend over the dark water before losing hours of time they could never explain. What followed were terrifying dreams, recovered memories, hypnosis sessions, and claims of telepathic contact that would haunt them for decades. Known today as the Buff Ledge abduction case, the encounter became one of New England’s most chilling and heavily investigated UFO cases.

A couple heads out for a picnic, but everything changes when they’re attacked by masked strangers and taken deep into the wilderness of Alpine National Park.

| Not Our War: Namib-Naukluft National Park | 18 May 2026 | 01:02:05 | |
Henno Martin and Hermann Korn were two German-born geologists conducting research in present-day Namibia when World War II broke out. Instead of facing internment or being forced into a war they did not believe in, these two friends loaded up a truck with their dog Otto and some basic survival supplies and set out to escape the war by surviving off the land in the harsh Namib desert.

| Adventure, Death & A Mother’s Day Tradition: Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument | 10 May 2026 | 01:01:37 | |
Every Mother’s Day, hundreds of climbers hike up Mount St. Helens wearing bright and elaborate dresses, a tradition that’s fun and easy to laugh at. However, behind this celebration is the story of Kathy Phibbs, a bold climber who helped create space for women in the mountains. When a winter climb on Washington’s Dragontail Peak goes wrong, a legacy that’s as inspiring as it is heartbreaking is left behind, and a tradition that celebrates the strength of women is carried forward.

| The Mountain That Moves: The Frank Slide Disaster | 04 May 2026 | 00:59:14 | |
In April of 1903, Turtle Mountain fell. Long known by indigenous nations to be dangerous, the town of Frank built at its base and mined into its sides nonetheless. In the early morning hours of April 29th, 100 million tons of rock broke free and hurdled down the mountain, killing 70 people and burying much of the town in nearly 100 feet of debris. It was over in less than 90 seconds, but has remained Canada’s deadliest rockslide.

| The Bravest Little Dog in Alaska: Glacier Bay National Park | 06 Apr 2026 | 01:08:37 | |
In the summer of 1880, John Muir set out to explore the icy wilderness of what is now Glacier Bay National Park. Traveling by canoe with a missionary and Tlingit guides, he reluctantly allowed a small black dog named Stickeen to join the expedition. At first, Muir dismissed the dog as a useless companion. However, when a violent storm trapped the two of them on Brady Glacier, surrounded by deep crevasses and failing daylight, Stickeen revealed a courage Muir could not ignore, forever reshaping how he understood the minds of animals.

| The Questionable Death of Duncan MacPherson: Stubai Alps | 30 Mar 2026 | 01:24:03 | |
In August of 1989, 23 year-old Duncan MacPherson vanished from a ski resort in Austria. His parents relentlessly and fruitlessly sought answers for 14 years, until 2003 when a melting glacier revealed Duncan’s remains. What they thought would be the answer to the question that haunted them for decades, turned out to be just the beginning of another heart-wrenching search for answers. Was Duncan the victim of a tragic accident, or was he murdered?

| A Deadly Uprising: Manzanar National Historic Site | 23 Mar 2026 | 01:08:25 | |
During World War II, the United States government rounded up over 120,000 Japanese Americans, most of whom were U.S. citizens, and sent them to remote incarceration camps across the western United States for suspected disloyalty. One of those camps was Manzanar, located in the harsh desert of eastern California. When a popular community leader was arrested without explanation, thousands of incarcerated residents gathered in protest, sparking what we now know as the Manzanar Uprising, which left two people dead and changed the course of history.

In October of 2015, 21 year old Dutch medical student Sophia Koetsier vanished inside Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda, a place with strong river currents and dangerous wildlife. When Sophia’s belongings were found along the Nile River, investigators were quick to jump to an explanation, but many argue that the scene left more questions than answers.

| Access to Adventure: Accessibility in National Parks | 09 Feb 2026 | 01:13:34 | |
We hear “the outdoors are for everyone” a lot, and while that is true, accessibility to the outdoors is not always created equal. Today’s episode is dedicated to two remarkable stories of people with disabilities reaching for history in National Parks. A group of paraplegic hikers who set out to climb Guadalupe Peak in wheelchairs and two kayakers who paddled through the Grand Canyon—facing some of the hardest whitewater in the world—completely blind.
