Park Mysteries, Hidden Stories, and the Secrets Beneath Our National Parks

What lies beneath a national park can be just as fascinating as what we see above ground.

Mike Bezemek is an award-winning author, geologist, and adventurer whose work explores the intersection of earth history and human history. In this episode, we begin beneath the surface at Mammoth Cave National Park and follow the strange histories, geological mysteries, and unexpected stories hidden throughout America’s public lands.

We talk about what makes Mammoth Cave extraordinary, the difference between a mystery and a myth, the stories Mike uncovered while researching Mysteries of the National Parks, and why curiosity can be one of the best ways to understand a landscape.
