  • Adventure, Death & A Mother’s Day Tradition: Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument

    Adventure, Death & A Mother’s Day Tradition: Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument
    May 10 2026
    Every Mother’s Day, hundreds of climbers hike up Mount St. Helens wearing bright and elaborate dresses, a tradition that’s fun and easy to laugh at. However, behind this celebration is the story of Kathy Phibbs, a bold climber who helped create space for women in the mountains. When a winter climb on Washington’s Dragontail Peak goes wrong, a legacy that’s as inspiring as it is heartbreaking is left behind, and a tradition that celebrates the strength of women is carried forward.

  • The Mountain That Moves: The Frank Slide Disaster

    The Mountain That Moves: The Frank Slide Disaster
    May 4 2026
    In April of 1903, Turtle Mountain fell. Long known by indigenous nations to be dangerous, the town of Frank built at its base and mined into its sides nonetheless. In the early morning hours of April 29th, 100 million tons of rock broke free and hurdled down the mountain, killing 70 people and burying much of the town in nearly 100 feet of debris. It was over in less than 90 seconds, but has remained Canada’s deadliest rockslide.

All of their episodes are a delight. Well researched and presented in a quirky manner sure to keep your attention no matter how old you are. They've been criticized for swearing, but I enjoy their candid nature. It might take 3-4 episodes before you find yourself wondering what else there recorded. Sadly I'm all caught up and have to wait for new releases.
I highly recommend you start with their TRAIL TALES, listener submissions. 💜💙💚❤💛

This is the second podcast I have found that I can get into. I am an avid crafter and NPAD has become my go to while crafting. I just discovered this podcast and am only on episode 8 but I am hooked. Even my not interested in anything my mom is doing 13 year old sits and listens. I really like how long the episodes are and how the stories are told. I like that personal opinions and stories are shared as well. I also appreciate the realness from the hosts. Your opinions and the swearing make me feel like we are friends just sitting down for some girl time. It’s also funny hearing your pronunciation of some of the towns in the PNW. Born and raised here and I’ll be honest I struggle sometimes with names lol.

Love this!
