In Big Bend, Misha learns to see in the dark, instead of running away from it out of fear. She and Jonathan go scorpion hunting, and learn about the creature from scientist Lauren Esposito. She explores the night sky with dark sky expert, Stephen Hummel, and goes back in time to when dinosaurs lived in Big Bend with scientist Lisa White. She also tries a hike alone for the first time. 

Big Bend is the traditional land of the Jumanos, Lipan Apache, Coahuiltecan, Mescalero Apache and the Chiso.

Hello, Nature host, Misha Euceph, didn’t know about the National Parks until she turned 21. But after an experience in Joshua Tree and watching 12 hours of a national park documentary, she sets out on a road trip to answer the question: if the parks are public, aren’t they supposed to be for everyone? In this podcast, she goes out to see America and tell a new story of our national parks.

Hello, Nature can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or anywhere you listen to podcasts.
