Les mer Viva America

Travel | True Crime | History Hi! I'm Marilyn. After traveling with my family to all 50 states, I am fascinated by the stories this country has to tell. The good ones and the bad ones. The Viva America podcast won’t just share the morbid, terrifying and haunting stories of this nation, but the inspirational, wholesome and inspiring stories as well. Balance is good. Join my son, Cameron, and I as we reflect on the places that we have visited and share stories that fascinate us. Or horrify us. Or inspire us. Or fill us with despair. Or make us want to head out on another adventure.

E17: The uniquely pristine beauty of Indiana Dunes National Park | The nightmare of a child being swallowed by the sand on the shores of Lake Michigan

One of the country’s newest national parks on the coast of Lake Michigan, Indiana Dunes National Park is a great spot for families to enjoy some time together.  For one family, back in 2013, they could have never imagined the nightmare their family would endure.  Join us as we tell the fairly recent story of a boy that was swallowed into the dune and some of the lessons scientists have learned since. The organization we are highlighting this episode is: Save the Dunes - Established in 1952, the mission of Save the Dunes is to protect and advocate for the Indiana dunes, Lake Michigan, and the surrounding natural areas for the betterment of the environment and the people who live, work, and recreate in Northwest Indiana.

E15: A haunting journey on the Natchez Trace in Mississippi | When they say that it’s like driving through 10,000 years of history, they aren’t kidding.

There’s something for everyone in today’s episode.  If you plan to check Mississippi off of your travel list, this episode has some awesome ideas for you.  We visit the Natchez Trace itself, a 444 mile scenic drive that almost no one knows about - Rocky Springs - a ghost town that you can visit to this day, Windsor Mansion - today known as Windsor Ruins (for a reason) and the very mysterious place known as Witches Dance. The organization we are highlighting this episode is: Fuller Center Bike Adventure - building a better world one house at a time.  They host a bike race where participants bike all 444 miles of the Natchez Trace!

E13: A cold case murder steps from Acadia National Park | And the unforgettable dog with the red bandana.

This murder actually takes places JUST beyond the boundaries of the Acadia National Park.  Leslie Spellman had never hiked alone.  What a cruel twist of fate that she would be dead within 24 hours of doing so for the first time.  Though her dog with the red bandana makes it out alive, to this day Leslie’s murder remains a mystery. The organization we are highlighting this episode is: Friends of Acadia preserves, protects, and promotes stewardship of the outstanding natural beauty, ecological vitality, and distinctive cultural resources of Acadia National Park and surrounding communities for the inspiration and enjoyment of current and future generations.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
