Earlier this Spring, the Trump Administration issued an Executive Order telling U.S. National Park Service staff, including those in California, to scrub parks of any materials that “inappropriately disparage Americans past or living.” Advocates and park workers say following through has been confusing and chaotic, and many worry that a true record of California's history is at stake.  Links: As Trump Targets National Parks that 'Disparage Americans,' Advocates Warn California History Is At Stake What's Going on With the Muir Woods Exhibit Removal?

Donald Trump orders the National Parks to remove references to slavery from museums. The school shooter in Evergreen Colorado was a white supremacist.

We can't escape history. We're born into a world full of it, and we're making it as we go from day to day. But how are we at preserving history? There's been a lot of concern this year that the administration of President Donald Trump is altering, if not entirely trying to erase, history. But can that actually be done? The National Park Service, often called the nation's storyteller, has been interpreting history for more than a century, and some of that interpretation revolves around sites that have lost their physical structures over the decades. Today's guest is Monica Rhodes,  an internationally-recognized leader, advisor, and influencer who has directed preservation activities in 46 states and completed projects in more than 100 national parks. Today, she advises and partners with cites, universities, and other institutions to revitalize and leverage historic sites and communities to ensure a vibrant future for these places.

Before the missile silos and prairie dogs, the Badlands were home to mammoths, mosasaurs, and mighty storms of U.S. government ambition. In this first part of our journey through Badlands National Park, we go back—way back—to ancient seas, fossil fields, and the earliest human inhabitants. We dig through layers of sediment and sovereignty, touching on the Lakota, the fur traders, and even a short cameo by Thomas Jefferson (because of course). It's a land of bone beds and broken treaties, where every rock tells a story—and some of those rocks used to be sharks.Strap on your hiking boots (and maybe your moral compass), because this is the Wild West before it was even west.

Sarah was having the time of her life in the creepiest national park that may or may not have alien life. We learn about a horse who died under mysterious circumstances and how a cult got started nearby. And we hear about her experience at a hot spring in her area that freaked her out and made her foot feel like it was on fire. We learn about a flesh eating maggot that is threatening America's lifestock, and it's making us wonder if Paul McCartney was right all along about eating meat. We learn why tennis is the best sport to play for overall health and longevity. And we debate the use of GLP-1s by Serena Williams, and the reason Susie is confused about why her coach wanted her to lose weight in the first place.Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets!

Die linke Arbeiterpartei von Ministerpräsident Jonas Gahr Støre bleibt in Norwegen an der Macht, doch die rechtspopulistische Fortschrittspartei wird bei den Parlamentswahlen zweitstärkste Kraft. Unser Nordeuropa-Korrespondent ordnet ein. Weitere Themen: · Die Regierung in Nepal ist zurückgerudert. Nach Protesten, bei denen mehrere Personen gestorben sind, hat sie die Blockade von nahezu allen Social-Media-Plattformen wieder aufgehoben. Unsere Südasien-Korrespondentin zeigt auf, ob somit alle Forderungen der Demonstrierenden erfüllt worden sind. · Der Oberste Gerichtshof in Thailand hat entschieden: Der ehemalige Premierminister Thaksin Schinawat muss für ein Jahr ins Gefängnis. Unser Südostasien-Korrespondent erklärt, was die Begründung des Gerichts ist. · In Australien bekommen Koalas ein riesiges, neues Zuhause: In New South Wales entsteht einer der weltweit grössten Nationalparks, auf einer Fläche fast so gross wie der Kanton Wallis. Wir sprechen mit einem Mitarbeiter des Zoos Zürich darüber, warum solche Schutzgebiete für die Tiere so wichtig sind.

We'll catch up with Jeff Rennicke from Friends of the Apostle Islands about how the president's willful neglect of our National Parks is being seen in everything from overworked staff and fewer tours to piled up trash and lost revenue that could keep our parks healthy.

A family trip to Glacier National Park nearly turned deadly when a family photo turned into a nightmare at Avalanche Creek. A Florida family of four was posing near the gorge when one slip sent multiple family members plunging into the icy, rushing water below. What followed was a dramatic rescue that could only be described as miraculous. Two brothers—Mike and Tommy Skidmore—just happened to be hiking nearby. With medical training and CPR skills, they risked their lives in the freezing current, pulling the parents from beneath logs and debris. Both were unconscious, with no pulse. Against all odds, CPR revived them while their teenage son clung desperately to a tree branch and first responders worked to reach him. From tragedy narrowly avoided, to strangers becoming heroes, this is a powerful reminder of how fragile life is—and how divine timing places the right people in the right place at the right moment.

We've made it past Labor Day. Which means fall colors in some parts of the country aren't too far off, seasonal wildlife migrations are getting under way, and summertime crowds in the national park system have thinned out. Fall is a glorious time to be out in the park system. The question right now, though, is how will the park system be functioning come October? That's a very pertinent question, because the federal government is facing a shutdown on September 30 if Congress can't come to terms on a budget for fiscal year 2026, which starts October 1. To consider the possible options, Kristen Brengel, the senior vice president for governmental affairs for the National Parks Conservation Association, joins Editor Kurt Repanshek to discuss the situation.

Dr. Morgan Cable is a research scientist at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California. Her mission is to help answer one of humanity's biggest questions: are we alone in the universe?In this episode, we explore how NASA uses national parks as analog sites to study the landscapes of other worlds.

Law enforcement rangers cleared an illegal cannabis grow in Sequoia National Park, where they found thousands of plants, toxic chemicals, and major environmental damage. A new national park could be coming to Florida—legislation has been introduced to study the creation of “Florida Springs National Park.” Workers at Yosemite and Sequoia & Kings Canyon have voted overwhelmingly to unionize, joining a growing movement across the Park Service. Plus: new hunting and fishing opportunities at wildlife refuges, the Maurice Bathhouse restoration at Hot Springs, a fruitless year at Capitol Reef's orchards, and more.

My guest is Alex Honnold, a professional rock climber considered by many to be one of the greatest athletes of all time for his historic free solo (no ropes or man-made holds) ascent of El Capitan in Yosemite. We discuss how to envision massive goals in any part of life and the process of breaking down those goals into actionable daily steps. Alex shares how embracing your uniqueness and mortality is the most powerful way to envision and live a fuller, more intentional life. We also discuss strength and endurance training, assessing risk and how Alex prepares mentally and physically for extreme challenges. We also discuss how to balance goal-seeking with family and work. Regardless of your goals, profession or age, this conversation will very likely reshape how you think about and approach your life, goals and potential.

In 1925, famed British explorer Percy Fawcett set out on his most ambitious journey yet — to find a legendary city hidden deep in the Amazon. At his side were his 21-year-old son Jack and Jack's best friend, Raleigh Rimell. All three vanished without a trace. What began as a quest for discovery became one of the most enduring mysteries in the history of exploration. Sources: The Lost City of Z, film (2016).

From layoffs to billion-dollar budget cuts and ideological battles over history itself, the National Park Service is facing one of the most turbulent moments in its 109-year history.Reporter Heath Druzin hikes deep into Yellowstone National Park's backcountry with biologist Doug Smith, who helped reintroduce wolves to the park 30 years ago. The program transformed the ecosystem but could be at risk in future rounds of budget cuts. Also particularly at risk: biologists and other scientists whose conservation work happens behind the scenes. Reveal's Nadia Hamdan talks to Andria Townsend, a carnivore biologist at Yosemite National Park who tracks endangered fishers and Sierra Nevada red foxes. “I would say myself and every other federal employee has not felt safe in their position,” Townsend says. “It makes it challenging to feel that same passion and drive that you maybe had for your work before.”Meanwhile in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, reporter Najib Aminy attends a Civil War reenactment. He meets hobbyists and historians grappling with a new executive order from the Trump administration that directs the National Park Service to strip away what it calls “partisan ideology” from monuments and signage.This week on Reveal: what's really at stake in the battle over America's parks.
