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.

Fast-forward 22 years, and Lauren and her partner travel from Europe to visit Jo in her San Francisco home. The reunion is electric, rekindling a storm of emotions neither can suppress. Amid the majestic backdrops of Yosemite National Park and the Pacific Northwest, old passions can't be denied, leading to dramatic confrontations and painful revelations.

It's been said that the night skies are the other half of the National Park System. And it only makes sense, for when you're in a park and the sun goes down you tend to look into the night sky to spot constellations or, if you're lucky enough and in the right place, a comet overhead. Keeping that other half of the park system in mind, today's podcast will be a somewhat dark one. Our guest is Jeff Pfaller, a fine arts photographer who spent five years capturing night skies over national parks and other public lands. A book coming out in October by Pfaller showcases synchronous fireflies at Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the famous illumination that makes Horsetail Fall in Yosemite National Park look like a cascading stream of lava, a shot of the whirling Milky Way against a colorful stump of petrified wood at Petrified Forest National Park, and many other nighttime images that remind us of that other half of the park system is overhead. National Parks Traveler readers can obtain a $15 discount on the book's purchase price by using this link to order it.

As a younger man, Tommy was kidnapped in Kyrgyzstan and he later lost a finger in an accident, which is a particularly devastating loss for a climber. Through it all, Tommy says climbing is what kept him sane.Further informationFirst broadcast in August, 2019.A documentary about Tommy and Kevin's climb, The Dawn Wall, is available on Netflix.2025 update: Tommy has published a best-selling memoir, ‘The Push'.You can read all about the Conversations origin story on the ABC News website.This episode of Conversations explores rock climbing, bouldering, California, National Parks, outdoor pursuits, free climbing, sports injuries, documentary, adrenaline sports.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Send us a textYosemite National Park captivates millions of visitors annually with its towering granite monoliths and thundering waterfalls, but few experience it with the intimate knowledge of someone who returns multiple times each year. In this special episode, Carol interviews Kristen about her profound connection to this natural wonder in California's Sierra Nevada mountains.Kristen shares her annual January ritual of hiking to Upper Yosemite Falls, revealing how winter transforms the park into a surreal landscape where waterfall spray freezes mid-air, creating magnificent snow cones at the base. She guides listeners through accommodation options ranging from the historic luxury of The Ahwahnee Hotel ($600/night) to free backcountry camping, with plenty of moderate choices between.The conversation unveils a little-known opportunity for budget travelers: volunteering with the Sierra Club at the Heritage Center provides a free week-long stay with just four hours of light work daily as a docent. With two consecutive days off mid-week, volunteers can explore extensively while contributing to the park's educational mission.For first-time visitors, Kristen recommends easily accessible experiences like the five-minute walk to Bridalveil Falls, the reflective beauty of Mirror Lake, or the drive to Glacier Point for panoramic valley views without strenuous hiking. More adventurous listeners will appreciate her insights on backpacking routes from Tuolumne Meadows in the north to Chilnualna Falls in the south, plus practical advice on navigating the permit system for coveted Half Dome hikes.Throughout the episode, Kristen's passion for Yosemite shines through as she describes nighttime views of climbers' headlamps dancing like fireflies on El Capitan's face and the perpetual white noise of waterfalls creating what she calls a "surreal" and "magical" atmosphere. Whether you're planning your first visit or your fifth, this episode offers both practical guidance and the inspiration to experience Yosemite's magnificence in every season.Support the showPlease download, like, subscribe, share a review, and follow us on your favorite podcasts app and connect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wherenextpodcast/View all listening options: https://wherenextpodcast.buzzsprout.com/HostsCarol Springer: https://www.instagram.com/carol.work.lifeKristen: https://www.instagram.com/team_wake/ If you can, please support the show or you can buy us a coffee.

Yosemite National Park welcomes millions of visitors per year, according to the National Parks Service. The massive figure means that seasonal workers are integral for all of the park's services to function smoothly. But an NPR investigation revealed that dozens of seasonal workers at Yosemite were on the job for weeks, without getting paid for it. More than 2,000 DACA recipients in California are on track to lose their health insurance at the end of August, after the Trump Administration axed a rule that allowed them to obtain health coverage through Covered California.

Netflix's Untamed is a six-episode mystery set against the majestic backdrop of Yosemite National Park (sort of). When a Jane Doe plunges from El Capitan, federal agent Kyle Turner (Eric Bana) of the Investigative Services Branch is called in to uncover what really happened. Paired with rookie ranger Naya, he follows clues through the park, interviewing nomads, taking down drug rings, and confronting evil ex-boyfriends along the way. We break down the jump scares and twists, including the final reveal that wraps it all up. Tune in for our thoughts, comparisons, and rating. Welcome to Today's Episode!
What happens when a group of kids on horseback stumble into a hidden meadow deep in the Sierra Nevadas — and realize they're not alone? In this gripping episode, we speak with Loadmaster, a veteran who shares a chilling childhood encounter from the backwoods just south of Yosemite National Park. Snapped pine trees. A smell worse than death. Horses panicking beneath them. And the realization — confirmed by Native Me-Wuk elders — that they had crossed into forbidden territory.Loadmaster recounts a terrifying moment etched into his memory for over 50 years, where the forest itself seemed to push them back. You'll hear how journals from the 1800s spoke of “hairy men” destroying mining equipment, and why locals still avoid those uncharted hills to this day. From stories of juvenile Sasquatch sightings to tales of entire families migrating through lightning storms, this episode uncovers a side of Yosemite few have ever heard — and most are wise enough to leave alone.But the mystery doesn't stop there.You'll also hear from a woman who saw a Bigfoot from the window of a moving train in Canada at just 13 years old… a truck driver whose early-morning route through Illinois brought him face to face with something massive by the road… a camper in Northern California who heard heavy footsteps circling his tent all night… and a quiet stretch of river in South Carolina where something huge came walking out of the water.These aren't just backwoods legends. They're warnings.And some places… you only find once.
TALK TO ME, TEXT ITThe unpredictable dangers that surround us take center stage as I explore how quickly life can change when we least expect it. A Google software engineer's life was tragically cut short by a falling sequoia branch at Yosemite National Park, highlighting the random perils that exist even in nature's most beautiful settings. This sobering reminder of our vulnerability extends to supposed "controlled environments" too, as evidenced by the disturbing incident where an octopus latched onto a six-year-old boy at a Texas aquarium's interactive exhibit, requiring three staff members five minutes to free him.Beyond physical dangers, we're navigating social threats as well. The viral story of a 58-year-old professional who believes his age has rendered him unemployable resonates with many Gen-Xers and Boomers facing similar challenges. With studies showing 90% of workers over 40 experiencing ageism, it's clear that expertise and experience aren't always valued in today's job market. It's particularly frustrating when considering the superior work ethic many older workers bring to the table - something I've witnessed firsthand in my workplace, where punctuality and preparation vary dramatically between generations.My frustration reaches its peak when sharing how my workplace essentially penalized early arrivals by changing policies to accommodate chronically late employees. What kind of system discourages dedication while enabling tardiness? As I wrap up today's episode, I'm on the hunt for new television recommendations - preferably crime fiction without excessive elements, similar to Broadchurch or Landscapers. What are you watching right now that might fit my tastes? I'd love to hear your suggestions for solid, entertaining shows that don't sacrifice quality storytelling for agenda-pushing content.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!

It's the time of the yearwhen the weirder stuff comes out. And there's nothing wrong with that after a summer of over hyped high budget extravaganzas. So we start with "The Naked Gun." Like the 80's original, this reboot spoofs police procedurals and more. Plus it's got Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson. Bill Bregoli had a beer and watched it and he'll tell you what he thought. Neil Rosen fills us in on the latest "Fantastic Four" movie. There have been others that haven't fared so well. Is the 4th time the charm? We've also got documentaries such as "Sally" which tells how Sally Ride's groundbreaking journey as the first American woman in space concealed a deeply personal story. And "Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Story" which is (ba-dum,ba-dum, ba-dum) all about making "Jaws." Bill McCuddy talks about his golf junket and catching up with "The Devil All The Time" which stars Bill Skarsgard and Tom Holland. And for streaming series we've got "Untamed" in which Eric Bana tries to solve a murder mystery in Yosemite National Park" and then there's the trashy fun sometimes sapphic murder mystery "The Hunting Wives. Both are on Netflix. So take off a few layers and listen in.

Eric Bana reminds us what a talented actor he is as he investigates the death of a woman who seems to have been living in the park. He’s a cranky special agent, but as the series unfolds we learn why. Billy Joel: And So It Goes (HBO, 2 part documentary)This is a lot of Billy Joel – close to five hours if you watch both parts. But you just might come away a much bigger fan of this talented singer/songwriter than you were previously.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of July 18, 2025. A reboot of a Saturday morning cartoon from the 1980s, "Smurfs," has a handful of funny moments and some decent animation, but otherwise is just for the little ones. “Eddington” might give you PTSD flashbacks to the early days of the COVID pandemic of 2020 as Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal battle it out for mayor of a fictional New Mexico town. On streaming, a really solid series called "Untamed" on Netflix has Eric Bana trying to solve a young adult's mysterious death in Yosemite National Park. And for you Trekies out there, a new season of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" on Paramount+ brings back the entertaining adventures of the crew of the USS Enterprise back before the days of Captain Kirk. (According to producer KellieAnn, it’s a “must-watch” for sci-fi fans.) The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy, with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch on the Weekend" minisode taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment, and two deep-dives a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics. Based in the beautiful beehive state, Fan Effect celebrates Utah's unique fan culture as it has been declared The Nerdiest State in America by TIME, and is hosted by KSL Movie Show's Andy Farnsworth and KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen.

How her new book celebrates the resilience of those who triumph against all odds· The history of gay women· Her journey of concealing her identity and how the exhausting performance was the price of pursuing a medical career including her time at Harvard· The stats which include: nearly 1 in 10 adults identify as LGBTLQ+· The importance of visibility and the ongoing fight for equality· The significance of Pride Month and June 28 About the book: Jo, a driven environmental attorney based in Washington, DC, and Lauren, a spirited young woman from Britain on a journey of self-discovery, find themselves in a serendipitous encounter at a lively London pub in 1981. Their brief yet profound connection generates a whirlwind of emotions, but the vast ocean, Jo's career aspirations, and immigration hurdles thwart their burgeoning romance. Fast-forward 22 years, and Lauren and her partner travel from Europe to visit Jo in her San Francisco home. The reunion is electric, rekindling a storm of emotions neither can suppress. Amid the majestic backdrops of Yosemite National Park and the Pacific Northwest, old passions can't be denied, leading to dramatic confrontations and painful revelations. Jo and Lauren are irresistibly drawn to each other. But there is no country in which they can legally live together.

Thanks for finding our podcast! We are a family of 5 who does most of our travel using credit card points and miles and we share how we leverage credit card offers to earn a ton of points/miles so we can afford travel as a larger family.Follow us on Instagram @TravelPartyof5The towering sequoias of Mariposa Grove, the refreshing mist from Bridal Veil Falls, and the unexpected joy of watching our typically reserved 11-year-old exclaim "This is amazing!" – our family adventure to Yosemite National Park delivered all this and more.Our road trip strategy began with renting a hybrid minivan for the 2,000-mile journey, earning American Airlines miles while saving our personal vehicle from mountain roads and inevitable snack debris. After an overnight at the Holiday Inn Express in Oakhurst (booked with an IHG free night certificate), we kicked off our Yosemite exploration with the Valley Floor Tour – a perfect introduction that provided fascinating insights into the park's history and ecology, including how indigenous fire management practices were disrupted by European settlers.For families considering Yosemite with young children, we discovered some perfect trails: Lower Yosemite Falls offers an easy walk with spectacular views, while Bridal Veil Falls rewards visitors with cooling mist after a short hike. The more ambitious Mariposa Grove trail showcased magnificent giant sequoias but required multiple breaks to manage the heat and terrain with our little ones. One unexpected highlight? Encountering a rattlesnake – though we had hoped for bears and deer during our visit!Accommodation was a crucial part of our experience. Rush Creek Lodge, located just minutes from the west entrance (though still a 45-minute drive to the valley floor), proved worth every penny of its $538 nightly rate. The resort offered heated pools, zip lines, game rooms, nightly s'mores, and endless activities that kept our kids entertained from sunrise to sunset. Even without televisions in the rooms, we connected as a family through board games and outdoor adventures.Our biggest tips? Map your route carefully to minimize backtracking on winding mountain roads, prepare for motion sickness with Dramamine (administered a full hour before departure), and check multiple weather sources before packing – we brought cold-weather gear for forecasted 60-degree days but encountered 90-degree heat instead!Looking to create your own Yosemite memories? Follow us on Instagram @TravelParty5 for photos, videos, and more insights from our adventure. And tune in next week when we continue our journey with our Lake Tahoe experiences!

On this episode of the California Now Podcast, host Soterios Johnson hits the road with three seasoned travelers to explore California's epic road trip experiences. To kick things off, Johnson chats with Zach Dundas, the editorial director behind the Wildsam field guides and Wildsam Magazine, a publication focused solely on road trips. Dundas explains why the open road remains one of the most profound ways to experience California. “You could come up with dozens of different themed road trips just within the state of California, and that's what makes it amazing,” says Dundas. He then dives deep into California's extraordinary range—recommending a route that begins in the artsy neighborhoods of San Francisco and travels east to Yosemite National Park. He also highlights the surreal beauty of Joshua Tree National Park and shares an itinerary that links California's desert, mountains, and forests. Next, Johnson catches up with Scott Clark, the chef and owner of Dad's Luncheonette, a beloved roadside eatery in Half Moon Bay. Clark talks about leaving the fast-paced fine dining world to open Dad's Luncheonette, a cozy spot in a red train caboose along California's coast. “I wanted to make food that felt like home, but that you'd actually want to eat,” he says. Clark also shares highlights from his new cookbook Coastal: 130 Recipes from a California Road Trip, including stories about foraging in Monterey, making frequent stops at oyster shacks, and exploring hidden coastal gems. Finally, Johnson chats with Alessandra Martinez, a digital creator who recently embarked on a four-day theme park road trip with her husband and four kids. Their high-energy itinerary hit Universal Studios Hollywood, Disneyland Resort, and LEGOLAND California. Martinez offers tips for navigating theme parks with kids of all ages and reflects on how to make road trips feel magical for the whole family. “Let everyone pick one thing they're most excited for—and make sure it happens,” she says.
What happens when a city kid from Lincoln Heights stares into the glowing red eyes of something unexplainable in the Yosemite wilderness — and walks away changed forever? In this gripping and eerie episode, we sit down with Rudy Escobar, a Southern California native who shares multiple encounters with creatures he believes were Bigfoot, stretching from the shadowy pines of Sequoia National Park to the moonlit lake edges of Yosemite. Rudy recounts the terrifying moment when a creature stood up — over nine feet tall — with glowing candy-apple red eyes, walking smoothly across the forest like it was gliding. From childhood dreams and paralyzing fear to logs thrown at his car and strange psychic abilities, Rudy's story is more than just an encounter — it's a haunting transformation. You'll hear tales from Dorst Camp and the San Bernardino Mountains — and by the end, you'll wonder what you would do if a tree started watching you back.

This week, we cover moves inside the Department of the Interior (DOI) alongside new polling that shows the public isn't on board with these drastic changes. Colorado College's 2025 Conservation in the West Poll reveals overwhelming bipartisan support for clean water, wildlife, and public lands protections, including 51% of MAGA voters siding with conservation over expanded energy development.Yet while public support rises, the Trump administration is accelerating environmental rollbacks. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum handed sweeping authority over all DOI operations to DOGE operative Tyler Hassen, consolidating decision-making for 500 million acres of public lands under a single corporate-aligned figure.Meanwhile:Protections for the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument revoked, opening endangered marine habitats to commercial fishing.New offshore oil and gas leasing program launched, targeting protected coastal waters.Fast-tracked mining projects and slashed permit timelines under a fabricated “National Energy Emergency.”Yosemite National Park closed backpacker campgrounds due to severe staffing shortages.Minnesota's BWCAW halted permit issuance at ranger stations amid federal hiring freezes.It's a coordinated, high-speed dismantling of decades of conservation protections with direct consequences for ecosystems, communities, and the climate.Have tips, testimonials, or insights on public land changes?

In this chilling episode of National Park Nightmares, we explore two of the most unsettling disappearances in America's wild places—stories where the line between accident and something darker blurs beyond recognition.First, we return to 1958 and the shadowy slopes of Mount Meeker in Colorado. Ten-year-old Bobby Bizup vanished from Camp St. Malo, a Catholic boys' camp near Rocky Mountain National Park. Deaf, trusting, and familiar with the camp, Bobby was last seen leaving a fishing spot alone. Despite an exhaustive search, his remains weren't found until a year later—by a counselor who was also one of the last people to see him alive. Decades later, shocking revelations surfaced: that same counselor, Neil Hewitt, along with other clergy members from the camp, were later exposed as prolific abusers. Federal investigators are now reopening Bobby's case, fueled by new evidence—including the discovery of Bobby's missing skull in the possession of a Colorado family tied to the camp's leadership. What really happened to Bobby Bizup? And why did the people meant to protect him fail him so completely?Then we move to Yosemite National Park, 1981. Fourteen-year-old Stacey Ann Arras disappears during a short walk from Sunrise High Sierra Camp. Last seen standing on a rock near camp, she simply vanished. Despite an intensive search, not a single clue was found. No tracks. No belongings. Nothing. How does a teenager disappear in plain sight on a sunny afternoon? Forty years later, we still don't have answers.These are stories of innocence lost in America's most beautiful—and unforgiving—places. Stories where nature's silence speaks volumes, and where the wilderness may hide more than we can imagine.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Untold Radio AMVisit HIMS.COMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
