What would happen if you called your grandmother out of the blue and asked her to go camping that night? For Brad Ryan, that impulsive phone call sparked a seven-year journey across all 63 U.S. national parks. Along the way, he and Grandma Joy, now 96, healed old wounds, faced down lifelong fears, and became unlikely internet stars. Brad's new book, Grandma Joy and Me: A Journey of Healing One National Park at a Time, out June 16th, tells the whole story. In this episode, Brad talks with host Aislyn Greene about what he witnessed in his grandmother over those years—the phenomenon he describes as reverse aging, the way movement and purpose and intergenerational connection seemed to make her healthier and more coordinated over time, not less. He also reflects on the healing that happened in the car: the long stretches of road through South Dakota, the yellow line hypnosis, the conversations that finally surfaced after years of silence. And he shares what he learned writing the book: about his father, about his family's Irish roots, and about what it means to find pride in an imperfect lineage. In this episode Why Brad made the call—and what was happening in his life that led him there What Joy said when he pitched 63 parks How road trips create the conditions for conversations that can't happen anywhere else What the national parks offer as a place for connection across every kind of divide Grandma Joy's relationship with fear—near-drowning as a child, white-water rafting in Alaska at 90 Why Brad thinks the loneliness crisis among older Americans is something the parks could actually help address Resources Grandma Joy and Me: A Journey of Healing One National Park at a Time by Brad Ryan, out June 16th Read the Afar story about Brad and Joy Follow Brad and Grandma Joy on Instagram Check out Brad and Grandma Joy's summer 2026 book tour (stops in Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Washington, Oregon, and California) Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Tails From the Lab, hosts Drs. Holly Brown and Brad Ryan talk through a case study of Clementine, a nine-year-old indoor cat who came in for a routine wellness visit appearing perfectly healthy. Her owner was hesitant about the need for extensive diagnostics, but the decision to proceed uncovered a silent but significant health issue: hypercalcemia. From exploring differential diagnoses like neoplasia and hyperparathyroidism to utilizing specialist consultations for imaging and nutrition, this case is a perfect illustration of how early detection leads to early intervention. Discover how a simple blood test created an opportunity to protect Clementine's long-term health and why "normal" results are just as valuable as abnormal ones. Tails From the Lab is a production of Antech Diagnostics™. The intent of this podcast is to provide education and guidance with the understanding that any diagnostic testing and treatment decisions are ultimately at the discretion of the attending veterinarian within the established veterinarian-patient-client relationship.
