I’ve been listening to NPAD from the beginning. I was one of those skeptics that wanted to steer clear of podcasts and their annoying hosts. But, I gave in due to the subject matter, national parks! I was immediately hooked but not only because of the subject matter, but because of Cassie and Danielle.

Hey girls I love your show and listen to you all the time I know that it’s not a national park but could you do an episode on Steven Erwin (I don’t know if I am spelling his name correctly) and his kids now
Such an incredible show! The premise, the storytelling, the banter, the topics, the heart. I love it, thank you for your incredible work.

Oh my heavens what a brilliant pair of a great mix of stories. I have just stood in the barn washing the horse in tears at the Wolves story 06 rip. My goodness what a sin. I will likely never be graced to get to America but I know what I would be doing if I could!

Two hosts weave true-crime, history, and nature into engaging, story-driven explorations of public lands. Across episodes, the pair often centers victim-focused storytelling, park history, and conservation angles, while sprinkling humor and personal banter that builds a welcoming community for outdoor enthusiasts. Notable is a consistent emphasis on advocacy—inspiring listeners to care for wild places and take action—paired with collaborations and occasional cross-promotion with partner organizations. The show stands out for blending dark narratives with educational context and a relatable, diy-podcast vibe that appeals to both crime/story fans and nature lovers looking for practical park insights and inspiration.
