In this podcast, host Ben Cooper, along with a weekly guest will take you on a journey to a National Park. Every other week a new episode will drop, where we will discuss the park, some of it's best features, and then tell a story from the park. I hope to not only inspire your future travels, but to also help you learn the best way to explore each park.Ben Cooper - Adventuring with Ben Social Sciences Travel Writing & Commentary

  • 11: Animal Football League Draft with Mason Jauquet and Jacob Riechers

    11: Animal Football League Draft with Mason Jauquet and Jacob Riechers
    Aug 19 2026

    With fantasy football season rolling around, we decided to try something a little different this week! I am joined by the show's first two guests, Mason Jauquet and Jacob Riechers, to draft football teams composed of animals. I think it can be a complicated concept, but I think you'll catch on quickly. Ashley joins the episode at the end to select the winner of the league, but be sure to voice your own opinion in the comments!
