A reading of selected musings from the great John Muir with nature video montage for your contemplation and relaxation.John Muir (April 21, 1838 – December 24, 1914), also known as "John of the Mountains" and "Father of the National Parks", was a Scottish-born American naturalist, author, environmental philosopher, botanist, zoologist, glaciologist, and early advocate for the preservation of wilderness in the United States.His books, letters and essays describing his adventures in nature, especially in the Sierra Nevada, have been read by millions. His activism helped to preserve the Yosemite Valley and Sequoia National Park, and his example has served as an inspiration for the preservation of many other wilderness areas. The Sierra Club, which he co-founded, is a prominent American conservation organization. In his later life, Muir devoted most of his time to his wife and the preservation of the Western forests._________________________________

Looking at the macabre background behind the Nahanni National Park Reserve where several people have been found dead with theories ranging from a legendary creature to a serial killer, the Valley of the Headless Men. Support us directly: https://www.redwebpod.com In the early 1900s, two brothers had heard rumors of gold that lay in the remote Nahanni Valley. They set off to extract these riches, only to never return home. They were eventually found beheaded. Was it the greed of prospectors, looking to have the loot all to themselves? Or the evil energy that the indigenous always believed inhabited the land? Today, we're investigating the Valley of the Headless Men.

In this conversation with Kolbie Blume, we explored how embracing imperfection can lead to deeper fulfillment in our creative pursuits. We discussed the concept of focusing on tiny moments of wonder rather than the final product, highlighting that the magic lies in the process, not the outcome. Our chat reminded me of the importance of investing in oneself and making room for personal joys, despite the everyday trade-offs and responsibilities that often overshadow our own needs. Rediscovering hobbies and allowing ourselves to be beginners opens doors to joy and self-acceptance. It's about learning to prioritize ourselves on our list of responsibilities, exploring creativity without fear, and finding joy in the messiness of life. Remember, it's not about achieving perfection but about valuing the process and the personal growth that comes with immersing yourself in something you love, just as it is. Through this interview and my personal journey, I realized that being messy is, indeed, part of the magic. Celebrate 9 years of About Progress by submitting to our annual Favorite Things Giveaway!

Explore the Mysteries of the National Parks with author Mike Bezemek. Discover forgotten stories of the first UFO sighting, lost explorers, and other unsolved national park mysteries.Episode Resources:Get your copy of "Mysteries of the National Parks"Learn more about Mike Bezemek's workWas the first-ever UFO sighting covered up by the Roswell incident? What really happened to the honeymooners who vanished on the Colorado River? Author and outdoor adventurer Mike Bezemek joins us to uncover the shocking secrets and strange events hidden within America's most treasured landscapes. In this episode, we dive deep into his fascinating book, Mysteries of the National Parks, exploring forgotten tales that defy simple explanation.From bizarre crimes to perplexing natural phenomena, this conversation peels back the curtain on the unsolved national park mysteries that have puzzled historians and scientists for decades. We investigate the incredible story of the first UFO sighting in 1947, where pilot Kenneth Arnold witnessed nine mysterious objects over Mount Rainier, an event that predates the more famous Roswell incident. Mike Bezemek reveals why this foundational story has been largely forgotten and shares the plausible explanation behind the Roswell craze that followed. We then travel to Yosemite for the tale of a brazen stagecoach robbery where the bandits posed for a photograph—possibly the only authentic picture of a Wild West holdup in existence.The discussion covers a wide range of incredible stories, including the tragic Glenn and Bessie Hyde disappearance in the Grand Canyon, where the newlywed couple and their boat vanished without a trace after a perilous journey down the Colorado River. We also explore the eerie phenomenon of the Angel's Glow at Shiloh Battlefield, where wounded Civil War soldiers' wounds emitted a strange blue light, a mystery later potentially solved by a high school science project involving bioluminescent bacteria. Other incredible topics include the strange history of the Gateway Arch and its surprising connection to Mussolini, the famous sliding stones of Death Valley's Racetrack Playa, and the debate over whether Utah's Upheaval Dome was created by a salt formation or a massive meteor impact. These tales are just a fraction of the 35 incredible cases explored in the book, revealing that our national parks hold more than just beautiful scenery—they hold secrets.About Our Guest:Mike Bezemek is an author, outdoor writer, and adventurer whose work focuses on history, travel, and mystery. His latest book, "Mysteries of the National Parks," is the culmination of decades of exploring the U.S. National Park system, from the grand landscapes of Yosemite to the historic battlefields of the East. His curiosity was sparked during a cross-country road trip that led him to investigate the Lost Colony of Fort Raleigh, inspiring him to collect and document the strangest and most compelling mysteries our parks have to offer.Timestamps / Chapters:(00:00) The Hidden Mysteries in Our National Parks(02:17) Mount Rainier 1947: The Forgotten First UFO Sighting(08:27) Behind the Book: Weaving History, Adventure, and Mystery(10:22) Yosemite's Bizarre Stagecoach Robbery: The Only Known Photograph(13:51) The Author's Inspiration: A Cross-Country Journey of Discovery(17:31) The Gateway Arch's Twisted History: A Surprising Mussolini Connection?(20:56) Death Valley's Racetrack Playa: The Mystery of the Sliding Stones(24:27) Vanished on the Colorado: The Disappearance of Glenn and Bessie Hyde(29:24) Angel's Glow: Solving a Civil War Mystery at Shiloh Battlefield(34:18) The Making of a Mystery Book: A Lifetime of Research(39:35) Upheaval Dome: Meteor Impact or Salt Dome?(42:21) What's Next for Mike Bezemek?

Covering 2.2 million acres, Yellowstone National Park is a geographic behemoth and, as the birthplace of America's national park system, a cultural giant as well. But since its official establishment in 1872, the bucolic lands have been the source of frequent conflict: between Native Americans and Europeans, and tourism and environmental conservation. In this episode, prizewinning author Randall K. Wilson explores the complex history of the park, from its geological roots to its role in our understanding of the environment and our nation as a whole.Recorded on August 25, 2025

The Trump Administration has put billions of dollars into building an immigration superstructure meant to punish those who have done nothing wrong and intimidate everyone else – including legal immigrants and US citizens. Weirdly enough, that's proving not to be very popular. According to new polling from the Associated Press, Trump is now deeply underwater on the subject of immigration – with 60 percent of respondents opposing his handling of the issue. So to talk more about what's happening with immigration, from the Administration's plans for 2026 to its many horrifying offenses, we spoke to Aaron Reichlin-Melnick. He's a Senior Fellow at the American Immigration Council.And in headlines, dueling healthcare bills fail in the Senate, nature-lovers push back on plans to make President Trump the face of their National Park adventures, and Disney becomes the first major studio to license its characters to OpenAI's video generator.This holiday season, gift someone a Friends of the Pod subscription or treat yourself.

Estland ist ungefähr so groß wie Niedersachsen, doch es leben nur 1,3 Millionen Menschen dort. In dem dünn besiedelten Land im Baltikum gibt es sechs Nationalparks, also viel Natur: Moore, Wälder und natürlich die Ostseeküste. Außerdem ist Estland für seine Herrenhäuser bekannt: Prachtbauten der Deutschbalten, die bis ins 20. Jahrhundert die Oberschicht bildeten. Jetzt dienen diese Gebäude als Schulen, Museen, Hotels oder Verwaltungszentren. Im Matsalu-Nationalpark im Westen Estlands lassen sich im Frühling unzählige Vögel beobachten. Das Gebiet im Flussdelta und an der Ostsee bietet Zugvögeln einen reich gedeckten Tisch. Die Gegend wurde schon im 13. Jahrhundert von Deutschen besiedelt, die zum Missionieren herkamen. Deshalb gibt es hier einige Herrenhäuser und in einem ist heute das Zentrum des Nationalparks untergebracht. Auf der Insel Saaremaa wird ein verfallenes Gutshaus gerade wieder zum Leben erweckt. Unter dichtem Gestrüpp steht nur noch die Fassade des Gutshauses Pihtla, die Seitenwand ist kürzlich auch eingestürzt. Priit wollte dem Verfall nicht länger zu sehen. Hauptberuflich ist er Kriminalermittler in der Inselhauptstadt Kuuressaare. Er legt jetzt selbst Hand an, um das Haus wiederaufzubauen. Die estnische Hauptstadt Tallinn besuchen viele wegen der gut erhaltenen Altstadt aus dem Mittelalter. Alte Kaufmannshäuser der Hanse säumen enge Gassen. Doch Tallinn hat weit mehr zu bieten: Mit dem Fahrrad besuchen wir Gemeinschaftsgärten im Stadtteil Lasnamäe, besichtigen Freiluftgalerien im Künstlerquartier Telliskivi und in Kalamaja lenken wir den Blick von den typischen Holzhäusern auf den Boden: zu den Kanaldeckeln, die hier interessante Informationen bereithalten. Petra Martin war für uns in Estland unterwegs.

In this episode, we're back with the fabulous Dr. Rachel Phillips, also known as Geo Girl on YouTube, diving into part two of our intriguing Q&A session. This time, we cover listener questions about early Earth geology, the moon-forming impact, geochemistry, and much more. Spoiler alert: we journey into the cosmic and tectonic weeds, so grab your scientific hats as we ponder if the moon-forming whammy kickstarted plate tectonics and its broader implications on our planet! The center of our discussion revolves around a burning question: Did the moon-forming impact trigger plate tectonics? From vigorous debates on early Earth's behavior to the staggering differences between Earth and its 'toxic twin' Venus, we leave no stone unturned—or unmelted. Dr. Phillips and Jesse examine the evidence, debunk some age-old myths (bye-bye, late heavy bombardment), and think about how a cataclysmic impact billions of years ago might have reset our planetary clock. Oh, and don't get us started on whether Earth or moon rocks are older—trust us, it's complicated. As we approach the end of our cosmic conversation, we speculate about how such colossal impacts might have played a role in developing early life on Earth. Did these monumental collisions cook up the perfect conditions for life's early proliferation, or did they serve as the ultimate reset button? Join us on this epic journey through time, magma oceans, and cratered landscapes. And hey, if you have more burning questions or just want to say hello, hit us up on all the social medias at Planet Geo Cast or visit our website planetgeocast.com.

By Amy Goodman & Denis Moynihan This month marks the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white passenger in Montgomery, Alabama. Her courageous act triggered the historic Montgomery bus boycott, launched the career of a young preacher named Martin Luther King, Jr., and changed the world.

In the news this week, the President's birthday was added to the list of free entry days at the National Parks, meanwhile Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth were removed from the list. On today's show, host Allen Ruff is joined by activist and scholar Nicholas Powers to talk about the Trump administration's attacks on Black history and his latest article for Truthout, “Black History Has the Power to Ignite Movements. That's Why the Right Fears It.” Powers says that the Trump Administration is waging attacks on Black history at three levels: the economic, the cultural, and through voting rights. The closed doors of the African American History Museum in DC are both a symbolic and material closing off of Black history and culture. And that's added to the mass firings of more than 300,000 Black employees from their federal positions. The Trump administration is also criminalizing the teaching of Black history in schools. Attacking school curriculum gives permission to conservative activists who are now rewarded for promoting greater and greater acts of racism. The softening or erasing of the historical reality of American slavery and racism creates what Powers calls “a cartoon image of the nation,” one in which the US is presented as a nation always living up to its values. In Black history, Powers says, there is an opposing grand narrative to the American Dream, that of the American nightmare. He says we need a vision of “American realism” that is taught by Black history: that Black Americans belong here through their blood sweat and tears and that we're all equal in the eyes of god. Moreover, Black history has a transformative effect, empowering people to see more clearly the strategies and tactics that Black people used to gain greater freedom. Powers previews that there's another social movement, another wave, on its way to counter the reactionary work of the Right. When it arrives, we should add ourselves to it so that it becomes stronger.  Nicholas Powers is the author of Thirst, a political vampire novel; The Ground Below Zero: 9/11 to Burning Man, New Orleans to Darfur, Haiti to Occupy Wall Street; and most recently, Black Psychedelic Revolution. He has been writing for Truthout since 2011. His article, “Killing the Future: The Theft of Black Life” in the Truthout anthology Who Do You Serve, Who Do You Protect? coalesces his years of reporting on police brutality.

Californians hoping to take advantage of free entry days at national parks will see big changes next year. The Trump administration is removing civil rights holidays and adding President Trump's birthday instead. The move is already prompting backlash from civil rights groups and conservation advocates. International visitors will also face new rules for park access. Guest: Sarah Wright, KQED The Ukrainian wife of a U.S. citizen remains in ICE custody after she was detained late last week in San Diego. Her lawyers say the arrest marks another new escalation in the Trump administration's emerging practice of targeting immigrants at their green card interviews.

   Sunday night's awful performance against the Texans at Arrowhead will be the game remembered as the end of an era.  The Chiefs have had an amazing decade of football but it's obviously time to re-think everything. This season is toast.   We know the teams coming to Kansas City for the World Cup in June and we're pretty sure you can only find on of the eight on a map.    The College Football Playoff is set and it's leading to the demise of the bowl system.  Everyone is turning down post season games now.    Trump is furious that Zelensky hasn't even read the peace plan he has offered to end the war with Russia.  National Parks "free entry" days steal headlines that look bad for the President.  And a saloon owner is now getting death threat over his free beer offer.
