We're continuing our celebration of nine years of Two Girls One Ghost with the second half of our two-part deep dive into the Grand Canyon, where we investigate the baffling disappearance of honeymooners Glen and Bessie Hyde. Their dangerous journey down the Colorado River ended with an intact boat, a journal, and decades of theories involving murder, a skull, secret identities, and a woman who claimed years later that she was Bessie herself. Then we head 210 feet underground to explore the haunted Grand Canyon Caverns, a place filled with forgotten remains, Cold War secrets, prehistoric creatures, and a hotel room surrounded by total darkness and near-total silence.

The Cucharas River runs dry before it gets to the town La Veta, threatening farming, recreation and everyday life in the region.

The Rizzuto Show has been waiting since January for the moment humanity would supposedly lose gravity for eight glorious seconds, and now the big day has arrived. Do we float? Do we fly? Do we immediately jump out a window based on something we heard on the internet? Thankfully, only one of those ideas gets discussed with any enthusiasm.Episode 26 kicks off with the crew preparing for the alleged gravity event and quickly asking the much more important question: where is the gravity cult? Because if the internet promises a supernatural event, somebody somewhere has probably already purchased matching tracksuits and appointed himself Supreme Gravity Commander. Thus, the Gravitonians are born, Idaho and Arkansas get dragged into the investigation, and a completely reasonable conversation becomes exactly the kind of funny podcast chaos you'd expect from The Rizzuto Show.From there, somehow, things get even stranger.The conversation tumbles into Heaven's Gate, Jonestown, Marshall Applewhite, Nike Decades, purple shrouds, Flavor Aid getting absolutely robbed of its historical brand recognition, and the crew trying to remember which unsettling cult detail belongs to which unsettling cult. This is less of a history lesson and more four people opening the same mental junk drawer at once. Eventually the crew becomes especially fascinated by Heaven's Gate's sneaker selection, because apparently even impending extraterrestrial departure requires a respectable shoe game.Then somebody wisely decides it's time to stop talking about cults and play trivia.This turns out to be only marginally safer.The Rizz Quiz returns with contestants getting 45 seconds to answer as many questions as possible—but one wrong answer immediately ends the run. No passing. No mercy. No blaming the educational system afterward. Questions cover everything from Roman numerals and the Grand Canyon to Nutella, Winnie the Pooh, human anatomy, Peter Pan, baseball, Garfield and the horrifying mathematics of nickels.Chris starts things off before the Colorado River causes problems. Diego gets ambushed by the number of years in a century. Brad suddenly turns into the final boss with a seven-answer run featuring hazelnuts, Rhode Island, Africa, Piglet, club sandwiches and Canada. Jared tries to chase him down until the “white part of an egg” becomes an intellectual brick wall.Then Round Two arrives.Brando tears through Jefferson City, football fields, Cookie Monster and Dr Pepper before the human skeleton ruins his streak. Cameron learns that lions have a pride, not a pack. Aaron encounters a fairy named “Tinder Bell,” which frankly deserves its own dating app. Finally, Brian gets Garfield's least-favorite day correct before informing all of St. Louis that there are 50 nickels in a dollar.There are 20.We checked.Probably twice after this episode.It's another funny podcast packed with daily humor, sarcastic commentary, weird stories, St. Louis radio chaos and the beautiful sound of confident people discovering they are confidently incorrect. If you enjoy comedy podcasts where celebrity gossip and weird news can suddenly give way to a serious debate over cult sneakers and elementary-school trivia, welcome home. Expectations were already low, and somehow we found a basement.Come for the eight seconds without gravity. Stay for the contestants losing their grip on arithmetic.This funny podcast episode proves once again that The Rizzuto Show can turn a ridiculous internet claim, an uncomfortable history detour and a handful of trivia questions into a complete collapse of civilized morning radio.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Farmers and ranchers face rising debt, high input costs, weaker exports and drought as Colorado's rural economy slows and Colorado River supplies remain strained.

On this week's Regional Roundup, we hear a report on new cuts to water use for the Lower Basin states that rely on the Colorado River. Then, we explore how increasingly intense wildfires are affecting landscapes and their ability to recover. Next, we head to southwest Colorado to learn about expanded air quality monitoring. That's followed by a story about a Diné musician honoring the ancestors who were forced on the Long Walk. We then visit Carbondale, Colorado, where a new initiative is encouraging older adults to prepare for emergencies before disaster strikes.

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on a sign of the Colorado River system in crisis.

The vaquita is the world’s smallest and most endangered cetacean, but the handful still living in Mexico’s Upper Gulf of California may be more resilient than recent headlines suggest. In 2025, researchers concluded that there was a 67 percent probability that seven to ten distinct vaquitas had been observed in the study area. That was a count of animals seen, not an estimate of the species’ total remaining population. Researchers also found evidence that vaquitas are continuing to reproduce. Dr. Lorenzo Rojas-Bracho, one of the world’s leading vaquita experts and chair of the International Committee for the Recovery of the Vaquita, joins Chris Clarke to explain why the species is not necessarily doomed by its small population. Surviving vaquitas appear healthy, continue to produce calves, and retain the genetic capacity to recover—if people stop killing them in gillnets. The vaquita is also a desert porpoise. Its only habitat lies in a marine ecosystem made exceptionally productive by its desert setting. Evaporation, concentrated saltwater, tides, wind, and upwelling continually move nutrients through the Upper Gulf. Although the loss of Colorado River flow has profoundly changed the delta and harmed some species, Rojas-Bracho says there is no evidence that food scarcity or habitat degradation is driving the vaquita’s decline. The principal threat is bycatch in gillnets used for shrimp, fish, sharks, and especially totoaba. Totoaba swim bladders command extraordinary prices in an illegal international market, bringing organized crime into a conservation problem already complicated by government resistance and the legitimate needs of fishing communities. Saving the vaquita requires eliminating gillnet deaths while developing fishing gear and markets that allow Upper Gulf communities to make a living without driving another species to extinction. About the Guest Dr. Lorenzo Rojas-Bracho has studied the vaquita for decades and helped establish the International Committee for the Recovery of the Vaquita, known as CIRVA, which he has chaired since its creation. His research has addressed vaquita abundance, bycatch, genetics, habitat, fisheries policy, and the species’ prospects for recovery. He is affiliated with the National Marine Mammal Foundation and has worked extensively with Mexican and international scientists, conservation organizations, fishing communities, and government agencies. Quotable Moments “Vaquitas are strong animals. If you stop killing them, they will recover. It’s amazing how resilient they are.” “I would be satisfied if I see the population trend being positive, or at least not declining. I can die peacefully if I see that.” “We cannot be stupidly optimistic, but we are optimistic because the data shows that we can be optimistic.” “I don’t want Mexico to be the country that loses the vaquita.” “Don’t give up. That’s the worst thing.” In This Episode Why seven to ten vaquitas observed does not mean only seven to ten exist How the vaquita became adapted to natural rarity Why genetic evidence shows that inbreeding does not necessarily doom the species How a desert evaporation basin creates an exceptionally productive marine ecosystem What ending Colorado River flow has—and has not—done to vaquita habitat How fisheries authorities used habitat degradation to deflect attention from bycatch Why totoaba gillnets are particularly deadly How the illegal swim-bladder trade brought organized crime into the Upper Gulf Why protecting vaquitas cannot mean abandoning fishing communities The need for effective vaquita-safe fishing gear and better markets for safely caught seafood What listeners can do to help Resources Viva Vaquita — Background on the species, its habitat, the totoaba trade, conservation work, and current developments. Act Now for the Vaquita — Suggested actions include writing Mexican officials, supporting conservation work, making sustainable seafood choices, and avoiding shrimp and fish caught with gillnets. 2025 Vaquita Research Campaign report — The complete acoustic and visual survey report, including the seven-to-ten observation range, its statistical limitations, and evidence of continued reproduction. IUCN Cetacean Specialist Group: Vaquita — Scientific background, distribution, conservation status, and updates from cetacean specialists. CIRVA reports and archive — Reports from the International Committee for the Recovery of the Vaquita, including recommendations on eliminating gillnet mortality and developing viable fishing alternatives. The critically endangered vaquita is not doomed to extinction by inbreeding depression — The 2022 genomic study discussed in the episode. Researchers concluded that the vaquita’s longstanding natural rarity has reduced its burden of damaging genetic variation and that recovery remains possible if bycatch stops. Mexico must save the vaquita from gill nets — A 2024 Science commentary coauthored by Rojas-Bracho and other vaquita researchers. Bycatch in gillnet fisheries threatens Critically Endangered small cetaceans and other aquatic megafauna — A study coauthored by Rojas-Bracho placing the vaquita crisis within the worldwide threat that gillnets pose to small cetaceans and other marine animals. Take Action Visit Viva Vaquita’s action page for sample letters to Mexican officials and other ways to help. Seafood buyers can also ask where shrimp and fish were caught and whether gillnets were used. Public attention matters: it gives officials who want to protect the vaquita political support to act and makes continued inaction harder to ignore. The vaquita’s situation is desperate, but extinction is not yet inevitable. The animals are still feeding, reproducing, and surviving. The remaining question is whether people will give them the opportunity to recover.Become a desert defender!: https://90milesfromneedles.com/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Congressman Greg Stanton joined Arizona's Morning News to talk about the recent Colorado River news and what he has done to protect the river.

In the first of a three-part series, KJZZ explores the Navajo Nation's complicated history with the coal industry. Plus, a non-profit in Surprise is bringing military veterans together through the art of theater, Arizona researchers are looking into ways to keep desert dust on the ground, and leaders of the Colorado River Indian Tribes say the federal government didn't consult them enough while drawing up new plans for sharing Colorado River water.

Since it became a state 150 years ago, Colorado's political identity has always been hard to pin down. You might say... it's purplish! But it's also been a leader in things like women's suffrage and civil rights. We explore some of that history today with Purplish. Then, the Colorado River makes life possible for some 40 million people from here to Southern California, but making sure there's enough water to go around is getting harder. Plus, new efforts to preserve the state's wetlands. And, Boulder's "Poetry in the Parks" is part scavenger hunt, part performance. 

Who can we count on to make the dramatic changes needed in a civilization in ecological overshoot? Will it have to be the leaders of tomorrow? And are they up to it? We take the pulse of students at the University of Denver just wrapping up an ecological economics class.

Purple Political Breakdown: Political Solutions Without Political Bias. Host Radell Lewis breaks down the week in national politics, Trump corruption, the 2026 midterms, and the stories other coverage is flattening. This week opens with two pieces of audio and the gap between them. Hasan Piker responds to Abdul El-Sayed's Michigan Senate primary win by calling Democrats Islamophobic and relitigating a race that was already over. El-Sayed responds by saying there is more that unites us than divides us and that there are thirteen weeks to beat Mike Rogers. One of those people understands the political landscape. The other is grifting for clout. Radell explains why the difference matters heading into November. Then the debut of a new weekly segment: Follow the Money, This Week in Trump Corruption. Trump Media launched Truth API on August 1, selling financial firms a real-time feed of the President's Truth Social posts milliseconds before the public sees them, at up to 100,000 dollars a month, while Trump holds roughly 41 percent of the company and announces tariffs and military action on that platform first. Warren and Schiff have asked the SEC to investigate. Also covered: Capital One telling a federal judge it closed more than 300 Trump-linked accounts over money laundering concerns, framed accurately as a litigation position rather than a finding, plus the 1.776 billion dollar slush fund and the tax immunity deal at the center of the Todd Blanche confirmation fight. Nuanced News: hackers compromised water systems in twelve states while the President blamed Minnesota, and the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act expires September 30. Blanche advanced out of committee 12 to 10. Elon Musk authorized up to 120 million dollars for America PAC across eight states including Ohio and Michigan, one year after saying he was done with politics. Plus the ADP jobs miss, 25 states suing over tariffs, the Minnesota nudify app ruling, Iran talks, the stalled Gaza roadmap, Colorado River water cuts, and the measles elimination review. Research on a Dime goes deep on Michigan: who Abdul El-Sayed actually is, his real policy positions, the 49 to 47 result, the immediate unity from Haley Stevens and Mallory McMorrow, the down-ballot picture including Michigan 7 and 10, and why the DSA platform is a separate question from El-Sayed himself. Radell lays out why MAGA is the primary enemy, why DSA is not an ally, and why the money story is really a media attention story. Breakdown in the Public: Supreme Court approval hit a record low 33 percent in Gallup polling, driven almost entirely by Republicans defecting after the Court ruled against Trump. Trump approval sits at 32 to 34 across three polls. Plus new data on who Americans actually consider elite. Good News: global hunger fell below 8 percent for a third straight year, the first at-home tick test launches this month, and the Phoenix Species Project puts 200 million dollars behind 100 critically endangered species.

The Colorado River supplies water to one in 10 Americans and supports farms that produce about 15% of the nation's food. After the seven states that rely on it failed to agree on how to share a shrinking water supply, the federal government released a 10-year framework that could bring much deeper cuts to Arizona, California and Nevada. Arizona could bear the steepest reductions because of its lower-priority rights to water delivered through the Central Arizona Project.Brandon Loomis, environmental and climate reporter for The Arizona Republic, joins The Excerpt to explain what the federal government has decided and what remains up for negotiation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tribes that collectively make up the largest water rights holders along the Colorado River say the Trump Administration's newest plan to deal with diminishing water levels is inadequate. Tribal leaders say they were left out of the decision making process and are now in store for serious water use cuts that violate existing water rights agreements as well as the federal government's trust responsibility. We'll hear from some of those tribal leaders. We'll also find out what's next following the Michigan Supreme Court's ruling to deny a permit to the company aiming to construct a new underwater oil pipeline to replace the aging existing structure.

(Chris Clements / KNAU) The states that share the Colorado River have a new federal framework in place for managing the embattled waterway, but as KNAU's Chris Clements reports, the impact of the U.S. government’s strategy on tribal nations is less clear. The new framework from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation could result in steep cuts to the Central Arizona Project, a delivery system for Colorado River water. That worries some tribal leaders like Orlando Carroll, chairman of the White Mountain Apache Tribe in eastern Arizona. “We definitely would be concerned of any cutbacks that are generated.” Under a federal settlement, Carroll's tribe can lease its share of water from the river, but at least his tribe's water rights have been spelled out. Other tribes, like the Navajo, Hopi, and San Juan Southern Paiute are watching the U.S. put out a Colorado River management plan for the states, while their own water rights in Arizona remain unquantified. Brenda Jesus is a Navajo Nation council delegate. “I just don’t understand that they’ve gotten their water rights decree, yet in the year 2026, the Navajo Nation doesn’t have any.” A settlement to give the Navajo Nation its water rights in Arizona is still under consideration in Congress. Golden king crab season runs from August 1, 2026 to April 30, 2027. (Courtesy Ethan Nichols / Alaska Department of Fish and Game Golden king crab season opened on Saturday in the Aleutian Islands. This year, the total allowable catch for the region is 13% higher than it was last season, as Katie Reuther reports from KUCB. Ethan Nichols is an Area Management Biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) based in Dutch Harbor. He says this reflects a sizable increase for the western area of the fishery, at over a million and a half pounds this season. “The quota in the east this year is a very slight decrease from last season, it’s down 4%. In the western area, it's a large increase this year. It’s a 79% increase.” Due to the size of the golden king crab fishery, it is split into two different management areas: one east of Atka and the other to the west, each with their own harvest levels. “The east has more fishable depths or more fishable ground, whereas you get further west and much smaller islands that drop off quicker.” That means better fishing in the eastern area. Even with a slight decrease in allowable catch this year, the eastern area's limit is still more than double that of the west's limit at over three million pounds. Nichols says he is optimistic about the upcoming season. “I think it's a really unique crab fishery, just where the fishing occurs, it being a deep water fishery from a select few vessels, and I'm excited about the upcoming season.” Just four vessels are expected to fish for golden king crab this season. The fishery was worth $29.5 million at the dock last year, according to preliminary figures from ADFG. This year's season ends next April. The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) meets for a business meeting in June 2026. (Courtesy ACHP / Facebook) Tribal historic preservation leaders are voicing concerns over proposed changes to the federal review process for projects that could affect sacred sites and cultural resources. Last month, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation voted to advance a proposed rule revising Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, a key law requiring federal agencies to consider impacts on historic properties and consult with Tribal Nations. The National Association of Tribal Historic Preservation Officers says the proposal would weaken tribal consultation, narrow protections for places of religious and cultural significance, and give federal agencies greater authority over the review process. The proposal now heads to federal review before it is published for public comment. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

Las Vegas Metro Sheriff Kevin McMahill is defending the department's use of license plate reader cameras across the valley, even as a nationwide backlash grows and civil liberties groups call the technology a mass surveillance system. Then, the federal government just released its preferred plan for Colorado River water cuts, and Nevada could be forced to give up between a third and two-thirds of its current allocation after 2028, prompting swift pushback from state officials. Finally, the Raiders are back in training camp with rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza generating some buzz, but with six coaches, and a 39-50 record since moving to Las Vegas, is their hope to turn things around valid? Host Jesse Merrick breaks it all down with "Keep It Local" editor Melinda Sheckells and Creative Producer Jacob Solis.

From the National Parks to the Rails Picking up where last week left off, Ryan and his family leave Moab, Utah on the 4th of July — and board the Canyon Spirit for what he calls the crown jewel of the entire trip. If you've ever seen those glass-domed luxury trains in a magazine or travel commercial and wondered what it's actually like, this episode answers that question in detail.What Is Canyon Spirit, and What's Included? Canyon Spirit grew out of Rocky Mountaineer — the famous Canadian Rockies train experience — and operates its own route through the American Southwest between Salt Lake City and Denver. Guests can book two days, three days, or a full six-day back-and-forth journey, mixing and matching their itinerary as they go. Nearly everything is included: all meals on board, unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks throughout the day, hotel nights before and after each leg, baggage handling, and all transfers between train and hotel. Coffee comes from a Denver roastery, desserts from a local bakery, and wines and beers are sourced from Utah and Colorado — a regional focus that will feel familiar to river cruise fans.What's It Like On Board? Think first-class airline seats, panoramic wall windows, angled ceiling panels for sky views, and a dedicated host team for each car who handle everything from drinks to destination commentary. Ryan's group lucked into an overflow car with just 13 passengers, giving them the run of the space — but even at capacity, the cars are designed to be comfortable. Guests can step out to the open vestibule for fresh air and unobstructed views. A signature (standard) and premium level are available; the main premium upgrade is a lounge car, a bar, and a larger outdoor viewing area.Day One: Moab to Glenwood Springs Picked up by shuttle from the Hoodoo Hotel, Ryan's group boarded around 11 AM, settled in, toasted their hosts, and sat down to a plated lunch as the red rocks of Utah gradually gave way to the Rockies. Five hours later, they pulled into Glenwood Springs — a charming Colorado River town that happened to be buzzing with 4th of July festivities. Evening was relaxed: a walk around town and, naturally, ice cream.Day Two: Glenwood Springs to Denver Boarding again at 9 AM from a beautifully restored historic train station, day two was all Rockies and Colorado River. Fishermen, rafters, rushing rapids, the occasional Colorado salute from river floaters — and then Gore Canyon, which Ryan called jaw-droppingly beautiful. After lunch, one tunnel later, Denver appeared stretched across the plains below, and the train snaked its way down over the next hour. Their hotel — the Limelight — was literally next door to Union Station. Bags already there. Dinner out. Perfect end to the trip.Who Is This Trip Right For? Ryan's picks: nature lovers, multi-generational families, anyone with mobility considerations, and river cruise fans who want something similar on land. It's not for people who want to be active at every stop — this is a see-it-from-the-window, glass-in-hand kind of journey. His pro tips: build in time before the train to adjust to time zones and altitude, and save the train for last. Do the active stuff first, then finish with the most relaxing leg of the trip.What Would He Add Next Time? A few extra days in Colorado, or doing the full Salt Lake City leg to catch the scenery in fall foliage. And yes, the Canadian Rockies version — Rocky Mountaineer — is very much on the list.Where in the World?
