  • 262: The Queen of the Tetons. Grizzly 399.

    262: The Queen of the Tetons. Grizzly 399.
    Nov 18 2024
    On October 22, 2024 a legacy ended when Grizzly 399 was hit by a car and killed. She was the most beloved bear in the world and the oldest known grizzly to bear cubs in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. She gained popularity when she strategically raised her cubs by the roadways and tolerated human interaction. In this episode we tell her story, the legacy and impact she left on the conservation world, and the problems that her habituation has had and will continue to cause. Hang out until the end of the episode where we have special trail tales from listeners who had the opportunity to see her in the wild.

I Love These Ladies

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. 💜💙💚❤💛

Love this!

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.

Great Stories, Well Written

I found this podcast last fall and have finally made it through all their episodes. I love the variety of stories they tell, from survival, to murder, to accidents and more. National Parks have so many stories to them and it is great to be able to hear a variety of stories from parks all over the world. The hosts do a great job of researching the topics and presenting it in a clear logical way. I also like that they state their sources so I can add more books to my audible wish list.
