    Ivy Insights

    The Locations Unknown podcast is a captivating and informative show that delves into mysteries and disappearances in national parks and outdoor settings. As someone who is new to hiking and exploring the great outdoors, I find the background information about national parks and safety tips covered in this podcast to be extremely valuable. The hosts do an excellent job of researching their topics and presenting them in a way that is engaging and easy to follow. The storytelling is compelling, keeping me hooked from episode to episode.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the balance between true crime storytelling and humor. The hosts have great chemistry and their banter adds a lighthearted touch to the episodes. I appreciate that they don't take themselves too seriously, making it enjoyable to listen to their discussions about outdoor recreation in the mountains and high deserts. Their knowledge of nature, survival, and the great outdoors shines through, providing a unique perspective on these mysterious cases.

    However, there are some drawbacks to this podcast. Some listeners have pointed out that there are mispronunciations of certain locations or Native American words, which can be frustrating for those familiar with these areas or cultures. While it may not bother everyone, it's important for hosts to make an effort to pronounce names correctly as a sign of respect for the places they are discussing.

    In conclusion, despite its minor flaws, The Locations Unknown podcast is a highly enjoyable show that combines true crime with outdoor exploration. The hosts' knowledge, research skills, and chemistry make for a compelling listening experience. I highly recommend this podcast for anyone interested in mysteries, national parks, or outdoor activities.

    A young, adventurous couple embarks on a bold mission in 1928: to conquer the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon and claim two record-breaking feats. The newlyweds pilot a handmade wooden scow down the rushing waters, navigating rugged rapids and unpredictable weather. As their journey stretches on, they mysteriously disappear, leaving behind a boat filled with supplies and a puzzle that has haunted explorers, historians, and investigators ever since. Did they succumb to the canyon's treacherous waters, or was there something more sinister at play? Clues and rumors have surfaced over decades, but the truth remains elusive.
