Dead or Survive

3.5 ROOTED in RESISTANCE — A Tree, a Woman, and a Mission


Listen Later

This week on Dead or Survive, Cheryl shares the remarkable story of Julia Butterfly Hill, the environmental activist who lived in a redwood tree for over 700 days to save it from being cut down. Perched high above the ground on a small platform in a 1,500-year-old redwood named Luna, Julia endured brutal storms, loneliness, and threats — but never gave up. Her peaceful protest became a global symbol of environmental resistance and personal conviction.


Then Rob swings in with Darwin Awards that prove fitness isn’t always healthy — especially when Johnny goes full beast mode with no plan and zero common sense. From ill-fated lifts to jogs that go very wrong, this week’s batch is more “ouch” than “gym gains.”
