Online summits have been a staple list building and authority boosting strategy for over a decade. Not only do summits help hosts grow their audience, a well-run virtual event gives speakers a platform to share their expertise, and create opportunities for attendees to learn from a variety of experts in one place. But lately I've noticed that many summits are experiencing diminishing returns. So, why are so many of them falling flat? In Episode 494 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I talk about a pattern I've been noticing after participating in hundreds of online events over the last fifteen years. Registrations are shrinking, participation is low, speakers are seeing diminishing returns, and audiences are walking away without a lot of information, but not true transformation. This isn't about online summits being ineffective. In fact, I'm still a big believer in virtual events as a powerful visibility strategy. The challenge is that many events have shifted from creating meaningful transformation to being a transaction. The focus becomes registrations, list growth, and exposure while the deeper opportunity for connection, collaboration, and community gets left behind. In this episode, I explore what's possible for hosts, speakers, and attendees if the model changes as we move into a new era of business built on belonging, relationships, and shared experiences. If you've hosted an online summit, spoken at virtual events, or found yourself signing up for event after event without seeing meaningful results, this conversation will help you look at the role of virtual events differently and identify what creates lasting momentum instead of temporary attention. Key Takeaways: [00:00] Why many online summits generate registrations but fail to create meaningful momentum. [03:59] How the visibility strategies that worked in previous years are beginning to lose effectiveness. [07:17] Why prioritizing more speakers over a better attendee experience often creates overwhelm instead of value. [09:33] The hidden cost of relying on speakers to continuously build event audiences. [10:16] How speaker saturation contributes to declining engagement and weaker event outcomes. [12:56] Why collaboration between speakers is often the missing ingredient in virtual events. [14:29] What declining participation rates reveal about attendee behavior and event fatigue. [15:26] How information overload prevents attendees from fully engaging with event content. [18:25] Why community and belonging are becoming more important than information alone. [20:05] The role connection, interaction, and relationships play in creating transformation. [21:51] How attendees can get more value from events by actively engaging instead of passively consuming. [23:24] Why hosts need to focus on depth, curation, and meaningful experiences over bigger numbers. [25:07] How community-driven experiences create stronger opportunities, collaborations, and long-term growth.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode:   Join me on Substack here to discover what's working now as our industry continues to evolve.

Eric Olander on how the Global South is reading the Beijing summitsThis week I'm joined again by Eric Olander, founder of the China Global South Project, which runs the most indispensable English-language operation going for understanding China's engagement with Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.I came in with a plan: map, region by region, how the capitals of the Global South were reading the back-to-back Trump and Putin visits to Beijing — relief at a steadier U.S.-China modus vivendi, or foreboding at a G2 condominium squeezing shut their room to maneuver. Eric dismantled the premise within ten minutes. The honest answer, he warned me, is that most of the Global South simply isn't watching the way we are — and the disappointment turned out to be the most interesting thing in the room. What looked like the absence of a story was the story. I'd built my questions around one assumption about what mattered; Eric had built his answers around another, and I cop to being schooled.Once you set the summit framing aside, what Eric's contributors are actually seeing comes into focus: Japan racing to recenter an Asia-Pacific security architecture, a region quietly de-risking from an unreliable United States, fresh cracks in the BRICS, Justin Yifu Lin's “three moves” for Chinese manufacturing, Latin America's “find out” phase, and a Gulf where the Chinese setback so many in Washington insist must exist simply isn't there. We get into all of it — and close on the summit as a remarkable piece of theater, the first since 1945 at which no one quite knew who the most powerful person in the room was.04:27 — The dominant mood: pro forma coverage, exhaustion, and bigger problems at home08:15 — Breaking news: the paused $14B Taiwan arms package and the canceled Colby trip11:15 — The dog that caught the truck: China and the costs of a receding U.S. umbrella13:00 — "Constructive strategic stability" — new equilibrium or just choreography?28:23 — The snub: Beijing sends only an ambassador to the BRICS meeting in New Delhi37:56 — Africa: tariff-free access, the trade imbalance, and Kenya's "collapsed" exports44:34 — Justin Yifu Lin's "three moves": move up-market, localize, move south51:00 — Latin America's "find out" phase in Panama, and very low China literacy57:35 — The Gulf after the war on Iran: who really won?Paying it Forward:Boston University's Global Development Policy (GDP) Research CenterRecommendationsEric: A “rabbit hole” of books on Xi Jinping, currently Party of One by Chun Han Wong (after Kevin Rudd's On Xi Jinping).Kaiser: Angine de Poitrine, a “microtonal math rock” duo from Quebec — think Frank Zappa meets King Crimson — possibly the thing to breathe new life into progressive rock.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Summits between US and Chinese leaders are important events. They provide opportunities to discuss sensitive issues, manage friction, and to identify ways to solve problems and promote cooperation where possible. A great deal of preparation usually goes into a US-China summit, involving hundreds of phone calls, virtual, and in-person meetings between US and Chinese officials.   The May 14-15 summit in Beijing was atypical, perhaps not surprisingly since Donald Trump is a very atypical president. Today we are going to talk about the summit – the process and well as the outcomes and the implications for the US-China relationship and American interests.  Joining us today to talk about these issues is Sarah Beran. Sarah Beran was senior director for China and Taiwan affairs in the National Security Council during the Biden administration from 2022 to 2024. She was subsequently deputy chief of mission at the US Embassy in Beijing. At the NSC, she led strategic preparations for multiple summits between President Joe Biden and Xi Jinping. After her 23 years in government service, Sarah joined Macro Advisory Partners.   Timestamps:   [00:00] Introduction   [01:45] Differences in Preparing for the Summit   [03:33] What Was Missing from Trump's Itinerary   [08:18] US and Chinese Objectives for the Summit   [12:30] Constructive Strategic Stability as a Framework   [18:09] Iran, North Korea, and Denuclearization in Chinese Policy [23:55] Tension over Taiwan Language   [29:15] Potential Reactions to Trump Calling President Lai   [30:12] Future of US-China Relations and Ally Reactions

Foundations of Amateur Radio The other day I witnessed a fellow amateur attempting to guilt another into using LoTW with comments about how their QSO partner would appreciate confirmation via the service, even if they didn't care for it. Before I continue, if you're unfamiliar, when two amateurs make a contact, or a QSO, with each other, then there's generally a log entry at both ends to record the event. Some amateurs, myself included, save up these contacts and count how many continents, countries, states and other entities are recorded in the log. Several amateur radio organisations allow you to claim an award for such a record. However, before they accept your word for it, they require confirmation of the contact, something that the amateur community refers to as a QSL. To recap, a QSO is the contact, a QSL is the confirmation of that contact. Traditionally this was achieved with postcards, known as QSL cards, transported across the globe through various postal services, and coordinated by so-called QSL bureaus, often run by the amateur radio peak body in each country. With the advent of the Internet, much of this process has turned electronic. LoTW is an example of an electronic QSL service, run by the ARRL, the American Radio Relay League. It's not the only such service, but today I'm looking specifically at the Logbook of The World, or LoTW. As I said, LoTW is not the only service and anyone telling you that you must use it is selling you something. Now, that's not why I don't use it, and again, you're free to, but you're not required to. For me there are several issues with LoTW. Having used it for a period, I feel comfortable in expressing some of its shortcomings, but I note that the last time I used it was almost a decade ago. I'll acknowledge that things might have improved or changed, but I have no evidence to suggest that it did. Let's start with how it works. You create a log in a specified format, using an application called TQSL you sign that log, ostensibly linking your identity to that log, then you upload that signed log to LoTW and wait for confirmations of contacts with other LoTW users. Signing is a process where you add information to a file that proves to the recipient that the log was created by you and wasn't modified in transit, which requires that you have a file called a certificate, which is created and sent to you via email by the ARRL, after they've authenticated you. So, first of all, in my opinion, the level of security is absurd and exceeds that of my bank, or my tax department. In addition, proving your identity comes with hurdles if you're not in America where an amateur who registers receives a postcard with an authentication code, made possible by the central database held by the FCC. For everyone else, the ARRL requires that you: "must send a copy of his/her Amateur Radio operating authorization in addition to a copy of one other government-issued document indicating his/her identity", via the post, snail mail, stamp, envelope, the whole thing. I'd also like to observe that at no time has the ARRL linked your identity to your email address, since they haven't asked for it at any point in the verification process. If that's not enough of a security nightmare, in Australia and other parts of the world, amateurs no longer hold a personal license, instead they are members of a so-called class license. There's no public record stating my ownership of my callsign, just that it's allocated. With increased privacy concerns, this is happening elsewhere too. In other words, proving that you are who you say you are is getting increasingly difficult and even if you did, you're sending that information to the ARRL, who you might recall paid a ransom to hackers who infiltrated their network. I've asked and never received a response about what actually happened to the information they continue to hold in relation to me, well that and an email from 2013 which states that "Data is never removed from LoTW." Even so, let's say that you are comfortable sending your information to the ARRL, the process of signing a certificate requires renewal on a regular basis and if you manage to forget, you have the privilege of starting all over again. Let's move on. It's important to remember that this process is to confirm a radio contact between two radio amateurs in order to get a piece of paper to hang on your wall saying that you did so. How do you know that the person you made contact with on-air is the same person who confirmed your contact? Radio isn't authenticated in any way, why should the confirmation be? Remember, before the Internet, this was done with postcards. Security and authentication aside, there's plenty more issues. I hold the callsign VK6FLAB. Several times a year, that callsign is permitted to be AX6FLAB. I like to operate portable in many different locations. Sometimes I sign "/QRP" for low power, generally if the other station is very high power and they're struggling, adding QRP can sometimes act as an incentive to complete the contact. Sometimes I sign Portable, or Mobile, depending on the situation and when I'm moving, I'm not in a specific location. Why am I raising this you ask? Well, turns out that you need to make a new location for every single one you're operating from. You also need to register each callsign and each variation, since apparently VK6FLAB and VK6FLAB/QRP are two different stations and if I sign with AX6FLAB, I need to request another certificate. So, this is increased convenience .. apparently. Then there's the argument that you're missing out. Let's get this straight. As far as I can tell, the bulk of LoTW users are American. For me, a contact with America is a single log entry to add to my continent and country list. Tell me again why I should care about this when I'm not in America? There's a list of 340 DXCC entities, which you can buy from the ARRL for $5.95 plus shipping, because of course in this digital age there's a shipping charge. In other words, this is the ARRL attempting to own the notion of confirming contacts between radio amateurs and in my opinion, being obnoxious about it. Here's another issue. If this was really so marvellous, why hasn't any other peak body adopted the Logbook of The World for their system? Why is there not a WIA version, an RSGB one and for each of the various countries who have closed their local QSL bureau due to lack of funding, since the postal burden on them has exploded to become nonviable? I think that LoTW is a solution looking for a problem, peddled by people who have something to sell and while there was a time that it might have been bleeding edge, that ship has sailed. You're free to use it, but I wouldn't recommend it. If you have never stepped into this, alternatives to explore include ClubLog, eQSL, QRZ, OQRS and plenty of print on demand QSL card services. And if you're searching, apparently QSL is also Queensland Sugar Limited, so pay attention. I should also mention that there's SOTA, Summits, POTA, Parks and other On The Air services that will happily take your log and confirm contacts. Here's a thought, how about we use the fediverse to federate and decentralise the process, or perhaps we might use something as mundane as email. If you want to use LoTW, by all means, go right ahead, but I won't and if I knew how, I'd get the ARRL to remove all my records from it, mind you, I'd have to trust them at their word, because I can't log in to check. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

With the 2026 Everest season hitting its most critical stretch, Sam and Adrian are back for their third installment of armchair mountaineering coverage. Before diving into Everest, Adrian recommends HBO's four-part series The Dark Wizard on the life of Dean Potter, which has now released all episodes and has been making the rounds well beyond the climbing community. Adrian reflects on  his feeling genuinely moved by how elegantly the filmmakers handled the full arc of Dean's life, his struggles, and ultimately his death. Sam touches on a new GPS-based avalanche transceiver from German company Nivia Safety, claiming to speed up burial searches by up to 30% and set to launch in fall 2026.From there, Sam and Adrian cover the following from the 2026 Everest season:Bartek Ziemski on Lhotse: The Polish ski mountaineer made only the second ski descent of the Lhotse Couloir — the first without oxygen, without new fixed ropes above Camp 3, and without ever taking his skis off, including finding a creative line through the icefall. Adrian, who made the first ski descent of Makalu and has a personal connection to Bartek, calls it one of the most groundbreaking Himalayan ski mountaineering achievements he's seen. Since recording this episode, Bartek went on to successfully summit and ski Everest without oxygen as well. The First Summit Wave: The rope fixing team reached the summit and six clients followed before the weather window closed. Adrian celebrates the fixing effort while pushing back on the practice of clients climbing on rope fixing day — a habit that adds pressure to the team doing the most dangerous work on the mountain.Summit Windows and Crowd Management: With a record number of climbers on the south side and a compressed season, Adrian breaks down what the next 10 days look like, how teams are positioning themselves across two potential windows, and why he's always preferred a marginal weather day with fewer people over a perfect day with 150 climbers on the route.Speed Ascents, Kristen Harila, and No-Oxygen Attempts: A look at the notable storylines shaping up for the final push — including Tyler Andrews and Karl Egloff's contrasting acclimatization approaches ahead of their FKT attempts, and Kristen Harila's no-oxygen bid after summiting Nuptse without supplemental oxygen as a warmup.Follow our podcast on Instagram @duffelshufflepodcast where you can learn more about us and our guests.

Big Ocean Women on Global Sisterhood, the Maternal Economy, and Upcoming Summits   Carolina Allen, founder and director of Big Ocean Women, and Shelli Spotts introduce our new monthly podcast series that applies the group's tenets to current issues, beginning with “working side by side in the global sisterhood." They also celebrate our Big Ocean Women CSW team's successful, safe return from sharing our maternal feminist message at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. They describe a “maternal economy” that decommodifies relationships and draws on abundance, creativity, and generational impact, contrasting it with hustle culture and profit-driven models. Carolina announces a May 9 summit (with more to follow) where Big Ocean will share lessons from years of attending UN forums and help mothers and families understand complex agendas, language, and how to respond with clarity, education, self-reliance, and safety.     "And one of the things that strikes me about this, about the whole idea of women coming together from all over the world, is that it is truly a decommodification. Of the way we interact with one another. My daughter called it the "I know, a guy" economy. Yes. We call it the maternal economy." Shelli Spotts   "I love the structure of the library, right? That you go and there's the wisdom of all of these people there and I think often that this type of thing is like a library of experience. We each bring our skills and our inspiration and our experience and our special interests. We have education in different areas. We know how to do different things and together we are creating this library, this maternal economy where we can metaphorically check out the knowledge that we need from one another.  And it's for a purpose. It's for the benefit of communities, and that is very exciting." Shelli Spotts    "Every time we've attended, it's been a transformative experience for women because we get to see, it's like scales fall from your eyes and you're like, wow, this stuff is real. These agendas are real, and they're very calculated. These people are talking about my children." Carolina Allen   "You have to rise up in power and not in fear, not in reaction, like you talked about, just in a very centered, grounded way that is generationally impactful." Shelli Spotts   "And what we found though is that we're pulling farther and farther away from this human-centered familial roots of our humanity. We're just moving towards a technologically driven, isolated, and like an AI governance system that's really encroaching over the whole world that's transhumanist, that's very anti-human." Carolina Allen   "Being a mom today poses a lot of challenges and Big Ocean Women—we're here to help mothers not feel alone. So we are a community that you can belong to and we're not just like a feel good, you know, sunshine and roses community. We're gonna help educate you so you know exactly what's happening out there and how to process it. And when you know how to process it, you stand in your power."

What does it look like when a passion for cycling collides with a mission greater than yourself? In this episode, we sit down with Court Maple of Team Heroes to find out. Court takes us through the cycling journey that brought him to Team Heroes – a team built on more than just miles and medals. Now 25 years since its formation, Team Heroes continues to carry the Heroes Foundation mission forward, proving that the drive to fight cancer never slows down. But Team Heroes is more than a cycling team – it's a family. Court opens up about the tight-knit community they've built, one that shows up for each other through life's biggest celebrations and its most difficult moments alike. Court also shares about something we all need to hear: the importance of making your health a priority and the powerful role that prevention plays in the fight against cancer. Whether you're a cyclist, a Team Heroes and Heroes Foundation supporter, or someone looking for inspiration to take charge of your health, this episode is for you.

Foundations of Amateur Radio The other day I came across a post on mastodon.radio by Keith W6KME announcing the resumption of the Micro Field Day, spelled using the 12th letter of the Greek alphabet, Mu. This was news to me, since I didn't know they'd stopped, let alone existed at all. Being the curious type, I stopped to investigate and discovered an initiative that could, and in my not so humble opinion, should, be replicated all over the planet. Essentially an informal monthly gathering of amateurs with their portable set-up, ranging from hand-held radios through lightweight backpack gear suitable for SOTA or POTA, or Summits or Parks on the Air, to car portable stations where your vehicle acts as the carry mule and perhaps the base of your antenna. In other words, it's for anyone who brings along their radio to play or if you're not yet ready to do that, come and participate as you feel inclined. So, what of the resumption, you ask. It turns out that the activity became so popular locally that some parks required paid bookings and insurance, which is somewhat challenging if you're not actually an organisation. The closest I've ever come to a Micro Field Day is when we celebrated a milestone anniversary for the weekly F-troop net that has now been running for over 15 years. The Bored Net Group website has plenty of information about what they get up to during a Micro Field Day, Random Metal Objects On The Air, shared club activities, picnic lunches, and activations at local lakes, landmarks and other places of interest. I'd also like to make a point here about documenting your activities so the rest of the community can learn from your experience and the Micro Field Day isn't the only, or even the first activity that the group organised. Special mention to Zak N6PK who started hosting the BORED net four times a day during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in March 2020. You'll find the full story when you check out their site at theborednet.net for that and oodles more inspiration. While I'm perfectly happy sitting at home behind a computer reading research on the resource comparison between half a dozen algorithms for calculating a Fast Fourier Transform, that's not the only thing that amateur radio represents. When I started running F-troop there was no place for new and returning amateurs to gather and ask questions and share their experiences. Today the log shows at least one new callsign for each week we've been on-air, representing nearly a thousand amateurs who activated their transmitter and shared their experience. There is no organisation behind F-troop, it's a couple of amateurs who regularly turn up and participate to act as a welcoming voice into the diverse community that represents amateur radio. In other words, it started because I felt like it and it continues because people keep coming back. The Micro Field Day is exactly the same in that it was started to scratch an itch. I'm making this explicit because some amateurs appear to be under the impression that they'll need a local club or organisation to organise activities for them. I'm here to tell you that you can start such an activity with your friends. Ultimately, where do you think clubs come from? So .. what are you waiting for? Get on-air and make some noise! I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Have you ever wondered why some summits casually pull in six figures while others struggle to break 5-figures? After diving deep into patterns and numbers across hundreds of summits, I discovered that there are two types of businesses that are set up incredibly well for highly successful summits.  In this episode, I'm breaking down these two types of businesses so you can see exactly where you fit and what a six-figure summit could look like for you.  Whether you're in a hobby niche with a massive audience or you're in B2B with higher-ticket offers, this episode will show you the path to your own six-figure summit.  For show notes, head to https://summithosthangout.com/319

In this episode, Tiffany is joined by marketing strategist and "Pocket CMO" creator, Sophia Parra. Together, they dismantle the pervasive myth that social media consistency is the only (or even the best) way to scale a high-level coaching business.Sophia shares her unique journey from being a professional TV actor in New York to a marketing powerhouse, a transition sparked by "divine timing" and a family crisis. The heart of the conversation focuses on how to gain attention and authority without the burnout of the social media grind. Sophia explains why hosting your own collaboration events (like summits, private podcasts, or "PDF magazines") is the fastest way to move from being a "best friend" in someone else's growth to the "main character" of your own industry.Key TakeawaysThe Social Media Brainwashing: Even highly successful business owners (making $80k+ per month) often suffer from a mindset block that they aren't "doing enough" on social media. Sophia argues that if you aren't naturally "built" for social media, forcing it yields diminishing returns compared to other high-leverage activities.Attention vs. Platform: Business growth is about capturing attention, not mastering an algorithm. You must identify where you naturally shine, whether it's through your voice, your writing, or your networking and double down there.The "Main Character" Strategy:Guesting: Acts as the "best friend" role; it's great for support but doesn't always position you as the leader.Hosting: Positions you as the "main character." When you create the "room" (the event), you immediately inherit higher levels of trust and authority.Choosing Your Collaboration Event:Bundles: Best for those with low-ticket offers and a desire for high-volume lead generation.Summits & Private Podcasts: Ideal for those whose voice has "weight" and who convert best when people hear them speak.Roundtables: A low-time-commitment option (one hour) that still leverages the power of a network.PDF Summits/Magazines: Perfect for writers or those building authority on platforms like Substack.Reverse Engineering Your "Big Deal": Sophia encourages listeners to define what being a "Big Deal" looks like for them. Is it being on stages like Oprah, or being a deep-dive educator like Brené Brown? Your marketing strategy should be a direct reflection of that five-year vision.The Power of the Network: Business can be isolating. Building a network of 10+ peers through a collaboration event doesn't just grow your email list; it creates a "referral engine" and a support system of friends who understand the journey.Mentioned ResourcesSophia's Free Visibility Gift: https://gotocoach.club/Connect with Sophia:Instagram: @sophiaparraWebsite: https://gotocoach.club/Rate, Review, and Follow on Your Favorite Platform!

A bundle invite lands in your inbox. A summit host wants you to “get exposure.” A conference asks you to speak. They all sound like growth, but only one question decides whether it's worth your time: is this the right audience, and are they actually buyers?We walk through how we evaluate bundles, summits, and conference stages without getting distracted by vanity metrics. I explain why bundles can be a gray area, how broad bundles attract freebie hunters, and what makes a niche-specific bundle convert. We also get practical about the backend: if sign-ups come through my checkout cart at a zero-dollar checkout, I can tag, track, trigger an email sequence, and offer an upsell immediately. If it's a CSV file dump, it can break your funnel and block fast conversions.Then we shift into summits and speaking gigs. I share why I'm more likely to say yes when I can teach, offer a clean opt-in from my presentation, and leverage a VIP upgrade that proves someone is willing to spend. For conferences, we talk about the make-or-break detail: can you sell from stage or invite people directly into a program? If you can, speaking becomes a reliable lead generation strategy, not just “visibility.”If you want more episodes like this, subscribe, share with a business friend, and leave a quick review so more people can find the show.

What if the breaking point so many of us are feeling right now is actually the beginning of profound healing and purpose?  In this episode, returning guest and trauma expert Dr. Aimie Apigian helps you understand why so many conversations feel triggering—and how unresolved trauma, not just current events, may be at the root.  We explore the difference between resolved and unresolved trauma, and why being activated is a sign your body is asking for deeper safety and support.  We're talking about shifting pain into meaningful action—whether that's healing your body, setting boundaries, or standing up for change in a grounded way.  Dr. Aimie breaks down her sequence of healing and explains the science behind how trauma is stored and how it can truly be resolved.  Tune in here to go from overwhelmed to empowered!

This is where a tribe, a group of people, can make a tremendous difference in the world.” “Healing is not staying small to stay safe. It's finding that safety, but then layering in the support on a biology level, on a somatic level, on a mind level. Those are all the three levels that allow our mind and body to have the energy to actually process.” “When we've had this past trauma, our brain likes to put things into those kinds of boxes. so being able to step back and learn over time that while it's important to speak up, it's also important to choose who I share those things with because it's not meant for everybody.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my latest book: The Perimenopause Revolution ⁠Dr. Aimie's book: The Biology of Trauma https://a.co/d/09grbJrF⁠ Dr. Aimie's Socials:  ⁠Dr. Aimie's Website ⁠ Instagram Facebook LinkedIn  YouTube RELATED EPISODES  681: The Biology of Trauma: How Stress Gets Stored in Your Body (and Passed On to Your Kids) and How You Can Start To Heal with Dr. Aimie Apigian 720: Why No One Talks About Loneliness in Midlife—And Why It's Not Just You 717: “I Don't Feel Like Myself Anymore”: The Mental & Emotional Reality of Perimenopause 702: How to Heal Trauma and Rebuild Trust Through Connectability with Anna Runkle 

This year's Winter Olympics feature a new event called “skimo,” or ski mountaineering. The racing event involves periods of skiing uphill using “skins” for traction, sprinting uphill on foot, and a downhill ski slalom to the finish. Mountaineering historian Peter Hansen joins Host Flora Lichtman for an introduction to skimo, and the scientific connections of early modern mountaineers. Then, wildlife ecologist Kevin White describes the amazing capabilities of the mountain goat, what's known about the physical features that contribute to their climbing ability, and risks to mountain goat populations.Guests:Dr. Peter Hansen is a professor of history at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and author of the book The Summits of Modern Man: Mountaineering after the Enlightenment.Dr. Kevin White is a wildlife ecologist based at the University of Alaska Southeast.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.
