Beyond the Mainland: National Parks at America's Edge

This final episode takes you beyond the Lower 48 into Alaska’s glacial silence, Hawaii’s living volcanoes, and the contested shores of the territories. Dan and Renee weave intimate stories of scale—ancient ice and roaring lava—alongside people who have lived these places for millennia. These parks are living, changing landscapes where conservation collides with colonization, sacred names are reclaimed, and communities demand stewardship. Tune in to hear how land keeps time through ceremonies, eruptions, migrations, and memories—and what it asks of us when we finally listen.
