Early polar explorers faced long nights and dangerous expeditions. To entertain themselves, they wrote and published niche newspapers and periodicals. Atlas Obscura's community editor Allegra Rosenberg reads an essay exploring this unique polar tradition. Read her full essay here.  

Ret. FBI Behavior Chief Breaks Down The Cops & Culture That Groomed Sandra Birchmore Description: Sandra Birchmore wasn't just failed by a few bad officers—she was failed by an entire culture. At 23, Sandra was found dead—alone and pregnant. What the public was told: suicide. What federal prosecutors now allege: murder, cover-up, and years of grooming at the hands of a trusted law enforcement officer. Matthew Farwell, the former Stoughton cop now indicted for Sandra's death, first met her when she was just 13. He was her mentor in the department's Explorer program. But behind that title was a predator, and behind him? A department that protected itself at every turn. In this episode, we sit down with Robin Dreeke, the former Chief of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Program, to dissect how this could happen—and why no one stopped it. Robin walks us through the behavioral red flags, the abuse of institutional structure, and the critical leadership failures that enabled this kind of manipulation to thrive unchecked. We also explore why no one else has been charged—despite multiple officers having ties to Sandra—and what it says about the “silent exits” we've seen from others in the department. Robin reveals how abusers test boundaries through secrecy, how grooming flourishes in programs like Explorers, and why a lack of oversight can be just as dangerous as overt misconduct. This isn't just about Matthew Farwell. It's about every department that refuses to see what's right in front of them. Sandra Birchmore's case is a warning—and Robin Dreeke is here to tell us what happens when no one listens. #SandraBirchmore #RobinDreeke #FBIBehavioralAnalysis #PoliceGrooming #InstitutionalFailure #HiddenKillersPodcast #TonyBrueski #ExplorerProgram #LawEnforcementAccountability #PredatorsInPower Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Inside the Explorer Program: How Cops Used Mentorship to Exploit Sandra Birchmore Description: What happens when a program meant to inspire young people becomes a pipeline for abuse? Sandra Birchmore joined the Stoughton Police Explorer Program at age 13, believing it would shape her future. Instead, it allegedly became the beginning of years-long grooming by a man in uniform—and silence from those around him. In this chilling episode, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott breaks down the dark psychology behind mentorship-based grooming, how power and trust are weaponized, and why institutional silence is often the predator's best defense. We're pulling back the curtain on how these programs fail—and how young lives are destroyed in the process. #SandraBirchmore #ExplorerProgram #PoliceGrooming #YouthAbuse #ShavaunScott #TrueCrimeDeepDive #MentorshipExploitation #InstitutionalFailure #HiddenKillersPodcast #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Why are so many teens tuned out, stressed out, or just going through the motions at school? In this episode, I talk with journalist Jenny Anderson and education expert Rebecca Winthrop about their new book The Disengaged Teen, which breaks down four student engagement modes—Resister, Passenger, Achiever, and Explorer—and how each one impacts a young person's learning and well-being. We explore the systemic challenges that fuel disengagement, why boys tend to disconnect more than girls, and how AI and personalized learning can help students reconnect with curiosity. Whether you're a teacher or a parent, this conversation is packed with insights and strategies to support teens as they learn better, feel better, and live more fully! Highly recommend!

My guest today is Dan Buettner, a National Geographic Explorer, New York Times bestselling author, Emmy-winning Netflix host, and a record-breaking endurance cyclist. In fact, he holds three Guinness World Records for distance cycling, having pedalled across the globe to over 70 countries. Travel is not just a passion of his - it's the lens through which he's viewed, explored, and helped reimagine how we live our lives.It was during these epic adventures that Dan's curiosity about longevity began to take shape. And that curiosity eventually led to one of the most fascinating and impactful projects of our time: The Blue Zones. Working alongside National Geographic and a team of medical researchers and demographers, Dan set out to discover the secrets of the world's longest-lived people. What he found were five extraordinary regions, in Japan, Costa Rica, Italy, Greece and a religious community in California - now famously known as the Blue Zones - where people weren't just living longer, they were thriving into their 90s and 100s. What's so remarkable is that these individuals weren't pursuing health - they were simply living in environments that naturally supported well-being. Think: plant-based diets, daily movement, strong social ties, and a deep sense of purpose. His findings became international bestsellers and his Netflix documentary Live to 100 introduced Blue Zones to a worldwide audience. and He's back this summer with a new cookbook, Blue Zones Kitchen: One Pot Meals, to help us all cook like the world's healthiest people.His travel diaries today take us from the jungles of the Congo, and the plains of the Sahara, to the lakes of Guatemala, and the islands of Japan. There was so much to cover, and I was so fascinated by all of Dan's insights, that we actually lost track of time, and so we're going to have to do a part 2 one day to find out his worst travel experience and hear a little bit more about his Mexican hidden gem. But nevertheless, I can't wait to dive into his story with you, let's buckle up and get started.

President Trump is set to sign his "big, beautiful bill" on Friday after the House passed the legislation in a 218-214 vote, with two Republicans joining Democrats to oppose it. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries stalled the final passage Thursday in a record-setting speech that lasted nearly nine hours. CBS News' Robert Costa joins "CBS Mornings" to break down what's in the legislation. An effort by some states to protect children from gun violence has hit roadblocks. The new laws require gun owners to lock up their firearms at home or face prosecution. However, implementing the law has presented its own set of challenges. CBS News' Scott MacFarlane reports. Millions will gather across the U.S. for the dazzling sights of fireworks to mark the Fourth of July, but the tradition relies almost exclusively on China. The Asian country makes nearly all of the fireworks that are used in the U.S. It's causing problems for fireworks retailers, many of them small businesses, because of the uncertainty of President Trump's tariffs. CBS News' Ian Lee reports. Renowned underwater archaeologist James Delgado joins "CBS Mornings" to discuss his new book "The Great Museum of the Sea" and reflect on his decades-long search for historic shipwrecks, including the Clotilda.

Predators in Uniform – Ret. FBI Robin Dreeke Breaks Down the Sandra Birchmore Case Description: Sandra Birchmore was 23, pregnant, and alone when she was found dead in her Canton, Massachusetts apartment in 2021. Her death was ruled a suicide. That might have been the end of it—until federal investigators got involved. What they uncovered changed everything. Prosecutors now say Sandra was groomed and exploited for years by Stoughton Police Officer Matthew Farwell—who met her when she was just 13 through the department's Explorer Program. Farwell is now federally indicted for her murder. But this case isn't just about one man. It's about a culture that allowed a predator to operate in plain sight, inside a structured, youth-focused law enforcement program, with little oversight and no accountability. In this episode, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—former Chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—joins us to break down exactly how predators like Farwell use the uniform as camouflage. He explains how authority figures manipulate young victims, how predators test boundaries through secrecy and personalization, and how organizations with rigid hierarchy and internal loyalty often become enablers without realizing it. We talk about Sandra's need for structure, the illusion of safety the Explorer program promised, and how that trust was twisted into a years-long pattern of abuse, isolation, and control. Robin also explores why no one intervened, how grooming often hides behind “mentorship,” and why even well-meaning departments fail to see the warning signs—until it's too late. This is the story of one victim. But it's also a warning for every community. Because when predators wear badges, the danger isn't just what they do—it's who helps them get away with it. #SandraBirchmore #RobinDreeke #PredatorsInUniform #LawEnforcementAbuse #ExplorerProgram #FBIBehavioralAnalysis #HiddenKillersPodcast #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimePodcast #InstitutionalFailure Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Children's writer and academic Katherine Rundell is the multi-million selling author of adventure stories including Rooftoppers, The Wolf Wilder and The Explorer which won the Costa Children's Book of the Year. Impossible Creatures, the first of a five book series, was named Waterstones Book Of the Year in 2023. Her biography of the 17th century poet John Donne was a non-fiction bestseller and she became the youngest ever winner of the £50,000 Bailey Gifford Prize. At the age of 36, Katherine Rundell was named author of the year at the 2024 British Book Awards. Talking to John Wilson, Katherine Rundell recalls Saturday morning bus journeys from her home in south London to Covent Garden where her father would take part in amateur dance classes. Along the route of the 176 bus he would point out cultural landmarks and helped instil in Katherine a lifelong love for the city. She also explains how her father's job as a civil servant took her family to live in Zimbabwe when she was a child, an experience that fuelled her imagination and fascination with the natural world. She also remembers the profound loss she felt at the death of her foster sister, and reveals that much of her writing for children has been driven by this tragedy. She chooses the Chronicles Of Narnia series of books, especially The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, by CS Lewis as a huge influence on her own fantasy writing and the poetry of John Donne which she describes as her "greatest literary passion". Katherine also reflects on the importance of encouraging children to read and the current state of children's publishing. Producer: Edwina Pitman

Why do so many kids seem unmotivated at school, and what can we do about it? In this episode of Psychologists Off the Clock, we're taking a look at what's really going on with student engagement, especially during those tricky adolescent years.

What drives humans to seek and discover the previously unknown? Does the wanderlust that so many of us share in common have a scientific explanation? Science journalist Alex Hutchinson is the author of The Explorer's Gene: Why We Seek Big Challenges, New Flavors, and the Blank Spots on the Map, as well as the book Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance. His work focuses on expanding our understanding of human performance, particularly in relation to fitness, sports, and outdoor activities. Alex and Greg delve into what it means to have the “Explorer's Gene,” the evolutionary benefits of seeking novelty, and the psychological aspects of exploring, including the balance between the impulse to explore and the necessity to exploit known resources.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Why is defining exploration so tricky?33:56: What do you mean by exploring? Well, on one extreme, it can be like, well, if you are the first person to do this ever, then you are exploring. And that is a very narrow definition that not many of us will ever satisfy. The other definition is like, hey, I am changing the channel on TV and therefore I am exploring the airwaves. And that is also not very meaningful. Then, like, everything we do is exploring.So, somewhere in the middle, there is a definition that I think is useful. And part of that definition, I think, is that it is—you know, a meaningful form of exploration inevitably involves some struggle. It involves the risk of failure. It does not have to be physical struggle, but it involves some risks, some challenge.Is technology making us passive explorers?33:02: Technologies make us more passive in our explorations. There is something lost in the quality of our experience, in how much we enjoy it, and then also in how much we learn about the world from those experiences.Why are we drawn to solving uncertainty?24:37: The subjective sense that life is good—like the feeling that you are happy and good and satisfied—is a manifestation of the fact that you are reducing uncertainty quickly. That this is like you are learning about the world, things are going well. And so, when we talk about exploring and curiosity, we are looking for opportunities to get this steepest slope that we can surf down, where we are reducing uncertainty quickly.Why a changing world demands exploration18:56: If the world was stationary—in the bandit literature, they talk about stationary bandits and restless bandits. So, stationary bandits are like, if the slot machine pays off 62% of the time, it is always going to pay off 62% of the time. If the world was like that, then there might be a case for locking yourself in a closet, or at least some equivalent of, like, you do not need to explore quite so much—let us just figure out a comfortable way of living and let us do that. The problem is, the world never stays stationary. So, what worked yesterday may not work as well today, and almost certainly, eventually there will come a time where it is not working. We have to keep adapting. And so, in these lab areas, you can show that the more restless the world—the greater the changes in the reward functions around you—the more valuable exploration is.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Daniel Ellsberg John Maynard Keynes Bernard Suits Mark Miller “Your Brain on GPS” by Alex Hutchinson | The Globe and Mail Mindwandering: How Your Constant Mental Drift Can Improve Your Mood and Boost Your Creativity by Moshe BarGuest Profile:Professional WebsiteProfessional Profile on LinkedInAuthor Page at Outside MagazineGuest Work:The Explorer's Gene: Why We Seek Big Challenges, New Flavors, and the Blank Spots on the MapEndure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance

Follow Atlas Obscura co-founder Dylan Thuras on a quest to discover South America's hidden wonders. From the Last Incan Bridge and the Machu Picchu of the North to the Everlasting Lightning Storm and a statue of a squid fighting a whale the size of the statue of liberty (yes, you read that right), this is an epic ride through Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia and Peru's weirdest and wildest wonders. The stuff glittering in the shadows that you may never have heard of before, but you'll be desperate to see after. But it's more than that too. When we think of wonders of the world we think of The Grand Canyon, the Great Pyramids. These are undeniably awe-inspiring, but they're obvious. Everyone goes there, and all too often the experience and the destination suffer as result. Atlas Obscura's mission is to open our eyes to the wonders all around us, the bizarre, hilarious, incredible things that inspire our curiosity and make our jaws drop at the amazing world we share. Wonder is a state of mind, they say, not a place; and the more we look for it, the more it becomes a part of who we are. This is a quest to discover South America's hidden wonders, but we may just discover something hidden in ourselves too. “The problem of failing to recognise the magic in the world lies not with the world, but with us; and it is our job to turn ourselves into vessels of recognising that magic.”  - Dylan Thuras, co-founder Atlas Obscura  Highlights include: ·    Visit the Last Incan Bridge, an 120-foot long woven grass suspension bridge, straight out of Indiana Jones, which has been re-built every year for more than five centuries. ·    Stand at the base of Gocta Falls, the most incredible waterfall you've never heard of – twice the size of the Empire State Building. ·    See Venezuela's Everlasting Lightning Storm, the most electric place on the planet. ·    Meet the Colombian village who travel by home-made zip-line across the jungle. ·    Find out about the inspiration for Atlas Obscura, how it went from a childhood love of weird Midwestern roadside attractions to a global phenomenon and New York Times bestseller. ·    Hear about such crazy historical inventions as the cat piano, the vomiting statue and a language created entirely out of music ·    Learn how by changing our mindset we can escape the wonder deficit of the modern world and live more meaningful and extraordinary lives Atlas Obscura tells extraordinary stories about hidden places, incredible history, scientific marvels, and gastronomical wonders. ⁠www.atlasobscura.com⁠ / @atlasobscura  Dylan's book, ‘Atlas Obscura: An Explorer's Guide to the World's Hidden Wonders', is a No. 1 bestseller on Amazon and in the New York Times: ⁠https://www.atlasobscura.com/unique-gifts/atlas-obscura-book⁠ This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

Recently, my Grandsons, Dane and Hank joined our asteroid hunting team at the Catalina Sky Survey 60 inch telescope on Mt. Lemmon. The most interesting of our discoveries, 2017 KJ32 is only 16 feet in diameter, orbits the Sun once every 315 days, and can come closer to us than the communications satellites. 4 days and 16 hours before Dane, Hank, and I spotted it, 2017 KJ32 passed about 41,000 miles from the surface of Earth traveling at a relatively slow speed for an Earth approaching asteroid of 1.6 mi/sec. By the time 2017 KJ32 came into one of our images it was already 768,000 miles from Earth and was traveling away from us at 1.5 miles per second. A few weeks later it was too faint to be detected by our most powerful telescopes.

This week on America on the Road, we bring you an exclusive interview with Matt Duffield, Ford Explorer Brand Manager, for a deep dive into the all-new 2026 Ford Explorer Tremor. In a one-on-one conversation with Host Jack Nerad, Duffield walks us through how the Explorer Tremor trim raises the bar for off-road-ready family SUVs. He shares how customer feedback shaped the new model's development and explains the performance upgrades that make the Tremor more trail-capable. As Duffield details, the Explorer Tremor boasts improved ground clearance, special suspension tuning, and dedicated off-road tires. The Ford exec also discusses the Explorer's evolving role within Ford's SUV lineup, and how this rugged new variant fits into the bigger picture. Co-host Chris Teague's road test features the all-electric 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, and it's nothing short of a revelation. The Ioniq 5 N brings track-car personality to the EV world with 641 horsepower, launch control, and simulated gearshifts that make it feel more like a rally car than a crossover. Hyundai's N division didn't just tweak the standard Ioniq; they reengineered it. The result is blistering performance, precise handling, and a surprising driving experience. But in the end, does it load on too much tech and deliver too little visceral involvement? Chris and Jack will offer their thoughts. But it still retains everyday usability, offering a spacious interior and decent range. Jack calls it one of the most exciting EVs to hit the road—fun, fast, and futuristic. In our second road test, Jack Nerad takes the 2025 Lexus RX 500h F SPORT Performance AWD for a week-long spin. He discovered it's the most dynamic RX yet, pairing a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine with a high-output electric motor to deliver 366 horsepower and plenty of soul-satisfying torque. This isn't your in-laws' RX, that's for sure. Instead, the well-styled SUV is more sharp-edged and tech-loaded than you would imagine a hybrid crossover to be. With a panoramic roof, F Sport styling fillips, and a plush interior featuring a 14-inch touchscreen and Mark Levinson audio, the RX 500h walks the line between luxury and performance without sacrificing fuel efficiency. Chris and Jack will offer additional details in the road test segment this week In the news this week, Tesla has quietly launched a limited robotaxi pilot in Austin, Texas. Just weeks ahead of stricter state autonomous vehicle regulations, Tesla's driverless Model Y program runs invite-only rides under close monitoring. While it's a milestone for Tesla, we have to wonder if it meets the standards for readiness and safety that it should. Also newsworthy is the fact Toyota is set to raise prices across several models in July, with average increases of $270 for Toyota vehicles and $208 for Lexus models. Inflation, rising import costs, and competition are cited as reasons for the increases, which mirror recent moves by Mitsubishi. General Motors is betting big on affordability with the upcoming 2027 Chevy Bolt. Expected to launch in early 2026, reporting by Motor Trend suggests it will be built on the Ultium platform and deliver a 300-mile range and an estimated $30K price tag. It could become a welcome alternative for budget-conscious EV buyers — if such people exist. In other news of note, Stellantis may offload Maserati amid steep losses and brand bloat. With sales down over 50% and no new models on the horizon, internal tensions are building. The company also reshuffled its executive team, with new CEO Antonio Filosa slashing direct reports to streamline operations. We wrap up this episode with a listener question from Seibert in Bend, Oregon, who asks: “Gas is pretty expensive here, so I think I might get a plug-in hybrid. What is the best plug-in hybrid under $40,000?” Jack and Chris weigh in with their top picks. Tune in for all this and more on America on the Road. Jack Nerad's newest book

This might be a stretch, but it makes me so happy to think about!

The Mississippi River was explored by French adventurer and fur trader René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle. He explored the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada, and the Mississippi River. He is best known for an early 1682 expedition in which he canoed the lower Mississippi River from the mouth of the Illinois River to the Gulf of Mexico; there, he claimed the Mississippi River basin for France after giving it the name La Louisiane (Louisiana), in honor of Saint Louis and Louis XIV.

When you hear the name ‘James May', it's likely you think of cars, Top Gear, and The Grand Tour, but much like his co-stars, May has plenty of other projects. He owns his own pub and gin line, and has done countless shows visiting other countries, rebuilding toys and machines, and exploring life's questions. May's now onto his next journey – a live theatre performance that brings the stories of explorers to the stage. It's called ‘Explorers: The Age of Discovery', and May's bringing it to Kiwi audiences in August. It's been quite a busy year for May – something he told Mike Hosking was quite unintentional. “This year was going to be my, what I called a ‘dry run at retirement', to see how much I liked it,” he revealed. “But I've ended up doing a live tour, a couple of TV shows, various other odds and ends – it's actually the busiest year I've had for probably a decade, in terms of demands on my time.” “But maybe that's a good thing,” he said. “Maybe if I was left to my own devices, I'd sit in the garden and rot.” Despite his vast experience in the entertainment industry, May isn't terribly experienced with live performances. “We used to do Top Gear Live and then Clarkson, Hammond & May Live, but there were three of us doing it, plus our stunt driving team and various other circus performers,” he explained. “This one is quite intimidating because it just me."

Today's episode is all about play—not just with our kids, but in our own lives too. We're diving into the idea that each of us has a play personality—a way we're naturally wired to have fun, unwind, and come alive. And just like you might not parent or process like your spouse, you might not play like them either. Or like your kids. So today we're walking through 8 play archetypes and reflecting on how knowing your own (or your kid's) can bring more joy, less pressure, and better connection in everyday life. If you love what we do and want more behind-the-scenes fun, bonus episodes, and exclusive content, join the walk in love. Podcast Membership today!

Today we are sitting down with writer and modern day explorer Riaan Manser. His adventurous journey began the day he decided to quit his job and go for a bike ride... around the entire continent of Africa. This was done without backup, and before personal gps and smartphones were in public circulation. Riaan has since become the holder of numerous world records: first to ride 42000km around Africa, first to lap the islands of Madagascar and Iceland in his kayak, and first to row from Morocco to New York in a 18ft row boat. All this to say having survived through landmines, multiple kidnappings, wild ocean storms, starvation and extreme dehydration — Riaan has a story or two to share with us today.Once again a huge thankyou to Riaan for sharing his time with us!Check out his books and adventures at Riaanmanser.comAnd give him a follow on Instagram and Facebook!-----------------Subscribe to this podcast so you're always up to date.

I remember seeing the Edge and James Hetfield with an Explorer. Billy Gibbons and Jimi Hendrix with a Flying V. Johnny Winter and Allen Collins with a Firebird… Such fascinating tones from such fascinating players. Of course I wouldn't call these guitars traditional by any stretch of the imagination. Simply put… they look awkward, clunky, and like something out of a sci-fi movie. That said… I currently own the Gibson versions of an Explorer… Flying V… and Firebird… and they are probably some of the best sounding guitars I own.But… Why did these guitars fail early in production? Were they before their time? What keeps them from being popular now? Are they built any different than a Les Paul?  Do they have a unique sound? What artists are using them? Are they worth having in a guitar collection? Can they be a guitar players #1? And size… Do they fit in the trunk of my car?Well we will discuss this, and more on this group therapy session with Barber, on the Tweed Couch.

He explored the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada, and the Mississippi River. He is best known for an early 1682 expedition in which he canoed the lower Mississippi River from the mouth of the Illinois River to the Gulf of Mexico; there, on April 9, 1682, he claimed the Mississippi River basin for France after giving it the name La Louisiane, in honor of Saint Louis and Louis XIV.

It's week 1 of Final Fantasy's legality in our formats — and these cards are popping up in way more places than we thought. This week we talk about the surprising places Sephiroth is soldiering, how Cloud (or Raubahn) is reviving Hammertime, and just how much we all wanted a 1cmc 2/3 reverse Jackal Pup with deathtouch... with a back side. Stan shares his conspiracies. Dave changes his mind while enjoying a shake, and Devon shows up 20 minutes late (which we all understand). • Cloud • Sephiroth • & Others with Excellent Hair Become a citizen of The Dive Down Nation!: http://www.patreon.com/thedivedown Show the world that you're a proud citizen of The Dive Down Nation with some merch from the store: https://www.thedivedown.com/store Upgrade your gameplay and your gameday with Heavy Play accessories.

Aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart became the first woman to cross the Atlantic by air on June 18th, 1928… but on this occasion didn't actually fly the plane; she was a passenger aboard the Friendship, a three-engine seaplane piloted by Wilmer Stultz and co-piloted by Louis Gordon.  Originally, a wealthy heiress was meant to take the flight, but her family vetoed it as too dangerous. So Earhart, smart, skilled, and camera-ready, was chosen to be “Lady Lindy”, and that one journey launched her into the stratosphere of fame. She wrote a book, became a Cosmopolitan editor, endorsed everything from cigarettes to watches, and even launched her own fashion line.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly revisit Earhart's iconic joyrides, including the one alongside Eleanor Roosevelt; consider the impact of her work to elevate women pilots, given that 95% of pilots are still men; and speculate about one of aviation's greatest mysteries: what happened to her plane on the day she went missing?
