Ever since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay reached the summit of Mount Everest, there has been a long list of firsts: the first ascent without supplemental oxygen, the first in winter, and the first full ski descent, to name a few. The first Black climber reached the roof of the world in 2003. But until this year, no team of Black climbers had done it. Meet one of the climbers in the Full Circle Everest expedition, and learn why he hopes this historic accomplishment shows that Black people belong in outdoor recreation too. For more information on this episode, visit natgeo.com/overheard Want more? Read more about Full Circle Everest, the revolutionary team that made history on the world's highest peak. And go deeper with James's podcast episode featuring an interview with Demond “Dom” Mullins, as well as James's website The Joy Trip Project and his book The Adventure Gap. Black Americans make up just two percent of National Park visitors, according to a 2018 report. Read about how the National Park Service is trying to live up to its credo to provide “Benefit and Enjoyment of the People”—all people. Income disparities and an inability to take time off work can restrict people of color from outdoor recreation. Follow a group of people strapping on crampons and climbing frozen waterfalls for the first time.    Also explore: Check out other groups—like Outdoor Afro and Melanin Base Camp—dedicated to diversifying the outdoors. See Everest from above. Panoramic drone photography shows what it's like to stand on the roof of the world. In 2021, researchers announced a new height for Mount Everest: 29,031.69 feet above sea level. Learn how they arrived at such a precise measurement, as well as the biting-cold, middle-of-the-night ascent that made it possible. Everest may be the world's tallest mountain, but K2 is often called the most dangerous. In another Overheard episode, we chronicle the all-Nepali team that climbed K2 in winter, something that had never been done before.   If you like what you hear and want to support more content like this, please consider a National Geographic subscription.

What does it feel like to fall through the sky? Two women who have broken barriers and mastered the art of skydiving from India and the United States tell Kim Chakanetsa the answer. The very first time Rachel Thomas flew in an aeroplane, she jumped out of it at 4,500 feet. Fast forward to 2002 and she became the first Indian woman to skydive and set foot on the North Pole. In her 25-year career she has completed 650 skydives in 11 countries, has been a judge at skydiving competitions and has received many awards including the Padma Shri, India's fourth highest civilian award. Danielle Williams is an African American disabled skydiver who is an advocate for greater diversity in outdoor adventure sports. She graduated from Harvard in 2008 and spent a decade in the U.S. Army. She has completed over 600 jumps, and in 2014 co-founded Team Blackstar Skydivers. This team, originally made up of six African Americans who linked up in a "black star" formation skydive, has now grown to a diverse group of over 330 skydivers in six countries. She is also the Founder and Senior Editor of Melanin Base Camp, an outdoor blog promoting diversity. Produced by Emily Naylor and Alice Gioia.

Voices of hate and bigotry have been amplified in our country. This proves that they exist to be amplified. They won’t be going away anytime soon. That’s why we need the voices of love and gentleness, voices that are beautiful and nurturing, to get louder.  That is what I aim to do with this podcast. I plan to host voices that speak love, truth, and gentleness into this world while being simultaneously strong and soft. I’m excited to bring on one such voice today. Michael Singletary is the owner of the Instagram account Verde Lobos Project. He is also a dad of two. His goal is to use his page to help people see that they are loved and valued. Tune into this episode to hear more about what Michael does as well as his perspective on gentle parenting. Show Highlights: The idea of covenant relationships outside of your biological family. How Joe lost his identity when he became a parent. His relationship with whiteness as he talks about gentle parenting. His Instagram post of one of his kids in a Killmonger costume. How he has engaged with and counteracted the narrative of toxic masculinity in his parenting. Why he says many people don’t have access to nature and how he sees nature as a part of his parenting. Life-giving activities we can try today and implement in our families. How he taps into his kids’ playful energy.

Sabrina Chapman's climbing story helps redefine what it means to be an elite climber. That said, you don’t need to be a climber for it to resonate with you. Sabrina is wildly thoughtful, a woman who chooses her words as carefully as she places her hands and feet on a rock wall. Her thoughts on working through fear, finding Black role models, contextualizing achievements, and the vulnerability of accepting your story echo through every activity we do outside.Sabrina's the subject of Titan Project, a new film by Melanin Base Camp. As one of a handful of Black women climbing elite routes worldwide, she hopes to inspire more girls from the BIPOC community to feel welcome in the climbing world. Featured in this episode: Sabrina ChapmanHosted & Produced by Gale StraubA production of Ravel MediaSponsored by Sierra Designs, BetterHelp, & Peak ScentsJoin the She Explores Podcast community on FacebookVisit She-Explores.com & Follow Us on InstagramResourcesSabrina Chapman: InstagramTitan Project Premiere Sunday August 16th @7PM EST Melanin Base CampClimbing GroupsBrown Girls ClimbFlash FoxyThe Brown AscendersClimb BigIndigenous Womxn ClimbWomen to Inspire16 Black Women and Nonbinary Climbers to Follow on Instagram (via Melanin Base Camp)@meliseymo - Climber & Neuroscientist mentioned at end of episodeMauritius Island Oil Spill Fundraiser (takes a bit to load but will!)Submit Your A.T.

After a week's break, the show returns with a loose chat about what's going on in the world and how it all aligns with TGN and the communities the guys love to cover. This episode does not have a formal topic, but rather serves as Jason and James' attempt to support those in the watch world and encourage everyone to listen, learn, and donate to worthy causes. Finally, don't miss Jason's Instagram auction in which you can get an awesome LE Unimatic while supporting Big Brothers Big sisters of America (bidding closes Friday!). Beyond the more pressing social topics at hand, Jason's land rover is back from service, James managed to take one top off of his Jeep and then install a different one, and the guys both marvel at the world's cheapest electric car – the wonderful Changli.
