Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast focuses on exploring remote American locations, history, and notable figures. Episodes feature discussions on forgotten places, such as hidden landscapes mapped by Peter Stark, alongside historical narratives like George Washington's early military career. The content reveals the significance of place in understanding American identity and endurance.
Exploration writer and historian Peter Stark revisits out of the way places in America that many listeners have driven through but may not have fully appreciated, understood, or contemplated. A podcast for the Eagle Scout in us all, The Last Empty Places is a love letter to the folks who still search for the frontier in the far corners of America.
Part two of Peter and Jimmy’s conversation with author, carpenter, and adventurer Malcolm Brooks focuses almost exclusively on the tragic story of Brooks’ nephews Taylen and Wyatt’s deadly encounter with a mountain lion. In the aftermath of the only recorded big cat attack on two males in North America, Taylen was left gravely injured and Wyatt lost his life.The young men were not lost, not novices, not disrespectful of their surroundings, nor did they make any mistakes. They simply serve as a reminder that the wilderness is a dangerous place for even the most experienced of explorers.
