My guest this week is no stranger to the red carpet. Ashlan Gorse Cousteau was a red carpet reporter for "Entertainment Tonight" and E! Network before leaving it all behind to pursue her passion for conservation and story telling. If her last name sounds familiar it's because she's married to Philippe Cousteau, grandson of famous explorer and conservationist Jacques Cousteau. Together they have formed a passionate partnership around using the power of entertainment to raise awareness of conservation issues. Species renderings from 'Drop in the Ocean' Ashlan and her husband Philippe are producers and narrators of a new Virtual Reality ocean exploration experience "Drop in the Ocean" that premiered at Tribeca Immersive in 2019. Ashlan Gorse Cousteau and her husband Philippe Cousteau hosting "Caribbean Pirate Treasure" on Travel Channel. Recently, she was also the co-star of Travel Channel’s award-winning series, "Caribbean Pirate Treasure" for three seasons. Her documentary, "Nuclear Sharks", for Discovery Channel’s Shark Week 2016 premiered as the #1 rated show across all cable programming. She also traveled to Antarctica to be a headlining speaker at Ted xScottBase. She has served as host for the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity and was selected by former Vice-President Al Gore to be the opening anchor for 24Hours of Reality. She is a voice for environmental issues on Capitol Hill through events, and briefings and serves on the National Council of WWF, and the advisory boards of Ocean Unite and the Environmental Media Association. And she also a new mom to her "Baby Fish" who is already being groomed for world travel. She and her husband hope to take their daughter with them when they go on adventures around the world, truly incorporating motherhood into her world. If you'd like to see where she's headed next, when the current health crisis is over, follower her on Instagram. I have no doubt you will also see her pop up on red carpets again, sharing her own stories rather than interviewing other people about theirs.

Alongside armed Ecuadorean Navy escorts, Philippe and Ashlan make the dangerous crossing to the eerie island in search of clues to the fate of the lost men and their loot. Diving into the area's roiling waters, they uncover a stunning clue to the mystery that changes the course of the entire investigation.

Today on World Footprints we’ll visit one of the largest churches in the world in Washington DC, examine efforts to save cheetahs in Namibia and head off on a Caribbean pirate treasure hunt with the latest generation of Cousteaus. First, The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception may not be the most iconic building in Washington, DC, but it looms large in other ways. Louise DuFresne of the Basilica takes us inside this beautiful building in northeast DC to share its remarkable history. From the awe-inspiring domes, mosaics and statues that define the Basilica and much of the ornamentation, words can hardly express the grandeur and artistry on display. One of the most amazing attractions is the 3,600 square foot mosaic of Christ, which is believed to be the largest mosaic of Jesus in the world. Then, the country of Namibia is replete with natural physical beauty and abundant wildlife. The world’s fastest cat—the Cheetah roams the beautiful landscape but is faced with man-made and natural threats to its existence. For more than three decades, rescuing cheetahs and returning them to the wild has been the focus of Namibia’s Cheetah Conservation Fund. During a trip to Namibia, we visited CCF for a closer look at the efforts to save this endangered cat. CCF’s Eli Walker took us behind the scenes during feeding time as we learned of the challenges facing the cheetah in Namibia. Finally, Philippe Cousteau Jr. came to undersea exploration and conservation thanks to a legacy left by his famous grandfather Jacques and his father. Now, Philippe and his wife Ashlan, who made her mark as an on-air entertainment reporter for E-news, combine their personal and professional passions in their new Travel Channel show Caribbean Pirate Treasure—crisscrossing the Caribbean to share stories of pirates and lost treasures of yesteryear. Also, Washington, DC is filled with many well-know attractions drawing millions of visitors every year. But venturing off the beaten path, DC’s unique neighborhoods reveal historic homes with of stories of their own connected to America’s history. We’ll shine a “spotlight” on two of them in the Nation’s Capital—Tudor Place and Heurich House. For links to additional resources visit this show page at World Footprints.
