Beringia Mac Ellis & Dawson Zulz

- News
Created in late 2020 by Mac Ellis and Dawson Zulz, Beringia is a podcast focusing on diverse stories and making connections – both with people and topics.
Beringia explores subjects both contemporary and historical, all the while trying to examine them via a bottom-up approach and helping to amplify largely ignored perspectives.
Season 1, consisting of episodes 1-7*, covered January through September* of 2021 before Beringia entered an indefinite hiatus due to schedule challenges. These episodes are preserved for transparency, though it is recommended to begin with Season 2, as the organization, tone, and perspective have greatly developed following the 2-year interim period.
*On some platforms, S1E7, covering September of 2021 is still available, however, it was not thought to maintain the same quality of the other episodes.
