Can you see Yellowstone National Park in a single day? Maybe. But do you get a true sense of the world's first national park in just a matter of hours? Probably not. In this episode, Jeremy and Amy have returned from an impromptu trip to Yellowstone with tips and advice for visiting this amazingly beautiful and vast park. What should you see? What should you skip? And what would they do differently on their next visit? -- All answered to help you better prepare for your own visit to our first national park.

The extreme heat that's becoming far more common in a warming world is now being linked to dental problems. As the body prioritizes sweat for cooling over saliva production, the resulting dry mouth can have devastating impacts on your teeth, and a dentist in Pakistan is documenting a tooth decay trend among his patients who work outdoors in the heat for prolonged periods. Also, cheap and convenient plastic products are everywhere you turn, and the microplastics they break down to are now in our water, soil, air, and deep inside our bodies. Joining us to discuss her 2025 book The Problem with Plastic: How We Can Save Ourselves and Our Planet Before It's Too Late is Judith Enck, a former EPA Regional Administrator and the founder and President of the advocacy group Beyond Plastics.   Plus -- it's peak summer travel season, and for many people traveling in the US that means a visit to a national park or monument. After all, "America's crown jewels” are ideal places to disconnect and reconnect with nature and our shared history. Will Shafroth, recently retired CEO of the National Park Foundation, takes a virtual road trip of sorts with us to share the magic of the national parks. Learn more about your ad choices.

At 85 years old, Grandma Joy had never seen a mountain. So her grandson took her to see the Great Smoky Mountains. The pair went on to visit all 63 national parks.

What if you could tell whether a rock exists on a planet 50 light-years away — without ever leaving Earth? This week Chris and Jesse welcome back friend-of-the-show Dr. Jackie Faherty (American Museum of Natural History) for her fourth appearance to talk about one of the wildest results in exoplanet science yet.The crew digs into a new Nature Astronomy paper on a rocky planet about 30% larger than Earth, orbiting a tiny star, whipping around fast with a scorching ~1,000 Kelvin surface and — surprisingly — no atmosphere. With no gas in the way, the James Webb Space Telescope was able to read the light coming off the planet itself and start distinguishing what the surface might be made of, right down to the debate geologists love: mafic vs. ultramafic, basalt vs. granite.Along the way, Jackie explains what makes JWST so special, why it sees in infrared, and how astronomers actually assign those famous colors to the images (spoiler: it's not random). They get into brown dwarfs and why she thinks one may be hiding in our own galactic neighborhood, the coming firehose of data from Rubin and NASA's Roman telescope, and why Jesse has to eat his old postdoc-era complaints that Webb was a waste of money.It's a mind-bending conversation about living in what feels like a science-fiction era — where a planet's light tells us its secrets.Download the CampGeo app now at this link.

Greg and Holly love Utah's national parks. They're great places to get away and enjoy the great outdoors. And they're not alone -- the parks here see record-breaking attendance year after year, and now there's a new study that ranks three of Utah's national parks among America's happiest parks. But it's the way this was figured out that really made the team chuckle -- an AI tool ran through hundreds of selfies taken at the country's 63 national parks and examined the people in the pictures. The bigger the smile, the happier the park.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 15, 2026. We open with the biggest election integrity news in years — the House passed the SAVE Act as part of the National Defense Authorization Act, 217 to 209, with Speaker Mike Johnson delivering exactly what he promised us two weeks ago when he sat down with American Ground Radio. We explain what the SAVE Act actually does — and what it doesn't. It doesn't change who is eligible to vote. It doesn't alter the Constitution. It simply requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. We point out that we verify identity to board a plane, open a bank account, and buy a beer — and that the only people who benefit from not verifying citizenship at voter registration are people who aren't citizens. We also note that Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin's claim that no Democrat will ever win again if the SAVE Act passes raises an obvious question about how many non-citizens have been voting for her party. The bill now goes to the Senate, where John Thune needs to do his job — or be voted out at the first opportunity. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch testified before the Senate in his confirmation hearing — telling senators that his client is not the president but the American people, while more than 1,200 former DOJ employees signed a letter opposing his confirmation, which may be the best endorsement he could have received. Then the House passed a bill to make daylight saving time permanent year-round — meaning darker mornings in winter and lighter evenings, with states currently on permanent standard time allowed to stay there. And Senate Democrats boycotted a hearing on government fraud, with only one Democrat showing up before leaving after his opening statement — even as investigative journalists Nick Shirley, James O'Keefe, and Dylan Heder-Gaudette presented documented findings on billions in fraudulent benefits claims. As Nick Shirley said, no dollar says Republican or Democrat on it. We also tackle the question of whether a New Hampshire state representative can drive 102 miles per hour on her way to the legislature and claim constitutional immunity from arrest under a provision dating back to the era of kings arresting parliamentarians on their way to inconvenient votes. We acknowledge the historical purpose of the law. We reject the application of it to someone who simply didn't plan her schedule well enough. Rules for thee but not for me is not a constitutional principle — and if you don't care about the safety of the people on the road, why would you care about the safety of the people you represent? Our American Mama Teri Netterville weighs in on the Emmy nominations — and the conversation becomes a broader indictment of an awards system that has completely lost touch with what Americans are actually watching. Greg Gutfeld hosts the number one late night show in the country. Not nominated. Taylor Sheridan has produced Yellowstone, Landman, 1923, and The Madison — all massive hits with critics and audiences alike. Not nominated. Meghan Markle's show As Ever received a 38% on Rotten Tomatoes, was called the sweet spot between irrelevant and intolerable by the Times of London, and was canceled. Emmy nominated. The awards don't reflect excellence anymore. They reflect ideology. In our Digging Deep segment, U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll announced that the Army has already met its 2026 recruiting goals — with 61,500 new recruits — eight and a half months before the year ends. Compare that to 2022, when the military missed its goals by 25%, and 2023, when it missed by 10%. Nothing changed except the administration and with it the clarity of purpose. We play Simon Sinek's story about a Marine recruiter who told a high school auditorium full of teenagers that not a single one of them was good enough to be a Marine — and walked out with the longest line of any recruiter in the room. People don't want to be told service is easy. They want to be challenged to be worthy of it. Trump and Hegseth figured that out. The numbers prove it. We also cover France's assisted suicide legislation — which has passed the lower house and would allow physicians and nurses to end the lives of patients who cannot do so themselves. The Catholic Church in France has threatened excommunication for any legislator who votes for it, and Pope Francis personally asked Macron not to sign it. We make the pro-life case plainly — compassion means walking with those who suffer, not eliminating the one who is suffering. A society's worth is measured by how it treats its most vulnerable, not by how conveniently it removes them. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps has now threatened to shut down all Middle Eastern oil exports if Iran cannot export its own — using energy as a weapon exactly as both Iran and Iraq did during the 1980s war. We note that this is exactly why the Iraq oil pipeline deal through Turkey matters, why the Strait of Hormuz matters, and why at some point the president may have to say what needs to be said about ground troops. For our Bright Spot, a Spanish conservation group called El Burrito Feliz — the Happy Little Donkey — has deployed 18 donkeys around Doñana National Park on Spain's Atlantic coast, an area with the same fire-prone Mediterranean climate as Southern California. Since the donkeys were introduced, there has not been a single wildfire in the park in nine years. The donkeys eat the dry scrub and tall grasses that fuel fires, reach terrain that vehicles cannot, and cost a fraction of what California spends on fire suppression after the fact. We suggest California try it. What have they got to lose? And we close with Jenny Stepien, who walked down the aisle on her wedding day wishing her father could be there. Her father Michael had passed away ten years earlier — but he was an organ donor, and his heart had saved the life of a man named Tom Thomas, who became Jenny's pen pal out of gratitude. On her wedding day, Tom was there in person for the first time — to walk her down the aisle in her father's place. At the end of the aisle, Jenny placed her hand on Tom's chest and felt her father's heart beating one more time, just before she said I do. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Isle Royale is one of the least visited of America's National Parks. Located in the northwest corner of Lake Superior, it's a tough place to get to.  Access is only by seaplane, ferry or private boat. But once visitors do come, they are likely to return. Karen Bacula has been coming to this remote island since 1997. As a teacher, she also brought students to explore this unique archipelago of islands. Now, retired, she volunteers as director of Michigan Tech's Isle Royale Institute and coordinates Moosewatch volunteers, helping people take part in fieldwork that supports the world's longest-running predator-prey study. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with Karen about citizen science, wilderness learning and the lasting pull of Isle Royale.Quotes:“What connected me and made me want to just keep coming back was the beauty, the quiet, the simplicity, but yet incredibly complex whole area of what was there being surrounded by the lake. And many of the people I met were just absolutely wonderful.”“The power of the island, the power of the lake, the serenity, but also realizing that at the drop of a hat, the weather can change. So there's predictability and uncertainty in every step that you take. And I like that feeling.”“There's something special and new about it each time and getting to see the changes.”“We're looking for dead moose and looking for the condition of the skeleton to see what the moose age-wise, health-wise was like, potentially how it died.”“It becomes very cross-curricular at all different grade levels. But they all come out with the big excitement being to learn how the study's done and to learn the field techniques for collecting data for this study.”“Two things I tell them to pack that are not necessarily on the gear list is their patience and sense of humor.”“Work to bring some of what you just felt right now with the people you met and living as close to the earth as you can live, bring some of that back with you and hold on to that.”Helpful links:Learn more about the Wolf-Moose Project:isleroyalewolf.orgLearn more about joining a Moosewatch expedition:isleroyalewolf.org/volunteer-moosewatchLearn more about Moosewatch for Educators:isleroyalewolf.org/moosewatch-for-educatorsLearn more about Isle Royale wolf-moose population dynamics:isleroyalewolf.org/population-dynamicsLearn more about supporting the research through the Wolf-Moose Foundation:wolfmoosefoundation.orgLearn more about the Northern Moose Alliance: moosealliance.org Plan a visit to Isle Royale National Park:nps.gov/isro/planyourvisit/index.htmConnect with us:Lake Superior Podcast Page: https://nplsf.org/podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NationalParksOfLakeSuperiorFoundationSponsors:Cafe Imports – Minneapolis-based importers of specialty green coffees since 1993, focused on sustainability.

Tonight on America at Night with McGraw Milhaven: Mike Fox, Legal Fellow with the Cato Institute's Project on Criminal Justice, joins the show to discuss ICE's decision to temporarily limit traffic stops following recent fatal shootings involving federal agents. Fox examines the legal and operational implications of the policy change and what it could mean for immigration enforcement moving forward. Gabe Roth, Executive Director of Fix the Court, discusses why the U.S. Supreme Court is requesting millions of dollars in additional funding for security. Roth explains the increasing security concerns facing the justices, the role of Congress in funding the Court, and the broader conversation about protecting the judiciary. Later, Bryan Burhans, director of Outer Banks Forever, joins the program to highlight his organization's work supporting Cape Hatteras National Seashore, Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, and the Wright Brothers National Memorial in North Carolina. Burhans discusses preserving these historic landmarks and why they remain must-visit destinations for travelers and history enthusiasts alike. Learn more about your ad choices.

What Does a Cruise Day Actually Look Like? Before diving into who cruising is for, Ryan and Julie walk through what a cruise experience actually looks like — from boarding day and the muster drill to the flexibility of breakfast options, onboard activities, port days, and evening entertainment. The big takeaway: you can be as busy or as relaxed as you want. Nobody is herding you anywhere.Who Is a Cruise Right For? Ryan and Julie run through the traveler types that tend to thrive on a cruise:Those who want to explore multiple destinations without unpacking multiple timesGuests who enjoy being around people — or want the option to make new friendsActivity lovers AND those who just want to find a quiet corner with a good bookTravelers who don't love flying and can drive to a port or take a transatlantic sailingAnyone looking for a short getaway with strong valueGuests who enjoy a casino on board (and plenty of lines that don't have one, too)Families with kids who need built-in entertainment optionsMulti-generational groups where everyone needs something different — and a dinner table to come back toWhat If Cruising Still Doesn't Sound Like You? Ryan walks through alternatives worth considering: small ship and river cruises (as few as 200 guests, exceptional service), American Cruise Lines for domestic itineraries, expedition cruises to places like Antarctica or the Galápagos, and private or semi-private yacht experiences. There's more variety in cruising than most people realize.A Few Things to Know Before You Book Prepaid gratuities and travel protection are typically added before you sail. Itineraries can shift and excursions can be canceled — a little flexibility goes a long way. And the more you share with your travel advisor, the easier it is to match you with the right ship, line, and timing.Where in the World?  Julie spotlights three families currently at Walt Disney World — including one whose trip had to be shifted last-minute when their two-year-old got sick (Disney and the Wonder and Beyond team made it happen), and another who just sent back glowing feedback that early entry and Lightning Lanes were absolutely worth it.Ryan's Upcoming Adventure Ryan is days away from a trip combining Las Vegas, a VIP Hoover Dam tour, a three-day Mighty 5 National Parks tour, and a two-day train journey from Moab to Denver with Canyon Spirit. Expect at least one — probably two — future episodes on this one.Next week: the hosts tackle the burning questions they get most often as travel advisors. Ready to plan your trip?

In the heart of California's Sierra Nevada mountains lies a landscape of towering granite cliffs, ancient sequoias, cascading waterfalls, and deep valleys carved by ice.  It has inspired Indigenous peoples, explorers, artists, conservationists, and millions of visitors.  Its story also helped create the modern idea of protecting wild places for everyone.

Here in Utah, state officials are always reminding people not to pet the fluffy cows on Antelope Island. Well, the same principle applies to fluffy cows in Yellowstone. And to be fair, we might need an even stronger warning for people in Yellowstone: don't come within hundreds of feet of the bison, don't even look at the bison, and you know what? Don't even think about the bison. All these warnings have been heightened by an attack in Yellowstone where a 65-year-old man found himself thrown 8 feet in the air… by a bison.

The Grand Canyon draws five million tourists a year. What most visitors don't know is that the canyon is underexplored and far more mysterious than we imagine. Rumors talk of unexplained magnetic anomalies, ghostly figures seen by hikers, constant UFO sightings, and hidden caves sealed off by the government. The Grand Canyon is one of the world's seven natural wonders, but it may also be one of its greatest secrets.

Brad Ryan is a wildlife veterinarian, conservationist, and bestselling author whose remarkable journey with his grandmother inspired millions. After battling depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts during veterinary school, Brad made one courageous decision: taking his 85-year-old grandmother camping so she could see her first mountain. That trip grew into an eight-year adventure to all 63 U.S. National Parks... and transformed both of their lives. Today, Brad shares how nature became a place of healing, the surprising lessons he learned from Grandma Joy, and why courage often begins with a simple "yes." Together, we discuss mental health, forgiveness, family, purpose, and the extraordinary impact of choosing connection over isolation. My friends, if you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or wondered whether your life can change, this conversation is for you. You'll leave inspired to say yes to adventure, invest in the people you love, and trust that even the smallest act of courage can change a life.
