Locations Unknown

Join us this week for a great conversation with Tara and Nancy, retired Yellowstone National Park law enforcement Rangers and hosts of Crime Off the Grid. They share unforgettable experiences from their careers, from intense encounters involving tasers and unexpected rodeo moves to heartfelt moments helping park visitors in distress. We dive into the realities of being law enforcement in America’s wild places, debunk persistent conspiracy theories, and learn what "WWND—What Would Nancy Do?" really means in high-pressure wilderness scenarios. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast or fascinated by true crime in the backcountry, you won't want to miss this episode!

On April 23rd, 2025, we hosted a nearly five-hour livestream to celebrate our current studio, which we'll be leaving later this spring due to upcoming building renovations. During the event, we interviewed Danielle and Cassie from National Park After Dark. Our conversation covered their recent adventure in Antarctica, their new show Watch Her Cook, some of their most chilling hiking experiences, and a few memorable, funny moments. We hope you enjoy the interview!

In October 2012, an experienced hiker vanished amid an early-season snowstorm near California's remote Taboose Pass. Despite extensive search efforts hindered by brutal terrain, freezing temperatures, and blinding whiteouts, rescuers found no trace. Months later, melting snow exposed startling clues, raising even deeper questions about what truly occurred near the alpine summit.  With clear evidence of frantic emergency calls and an abandoned tent, the mystery deepens: Was it hypothermia, altitude sickness, or something more sinister? Join us as we explore the disappearance of Larry Conn in Kings Canyon National Park. Mark your calendars!  We have a special multi hour live stream coming up on the evening of 4/23/25.  Guests on the stream include the hosts of National Park After Dark, Extreme Filmmaker and Director of Photography on Discovery Channel's Expedition Unknown Evan B Stone, and the hosts from Crime Off the Grid and Off the Trails.  Stay tuned for more details!
