Customer Reviews
Great Information!
Visiting the park for the first time this summer. This podcast is a great way to learn more and has made me even more excited for the trip!
Keeping in touch with Glacier
We visited Glacier several years ago and want to return there again. This podcast is helping us not only keep up to date with the park, but to gain a deeper appreciation for why it is such an important place in the world.
The Crown of National Park Podcasts
I have listened to several National Park Podcasts produced by individual National Parks and this one surpasses them all. Each season unfolds creatively around a central theme - Confluence, Whitebark Pine, etc. These episodes are well-written, well-researched, well-produced, involving an impressive array of individuals involved in the Glacier NP story. As a listener, I have discovered a lot more about a place I love; I have also been stirred to caring about what is endangered to being lost. This is not only my favorite National Park Podcast; it is in my Top 10 of favorite podcasts of all time. I highly recommend Headwaters!
