    Texas Ice Age Discovery You Can Walk Through!
    Mar 12 2026

    Did you know you can walk through an actual Ice Age dig site in Texas?


    In this episode, we explore Waco Mammoth National Monument, one of the most fascinating paleontological sites in the country — right in the heart of Central Texas. Discovered in 1978 and designated a national monument in 2015, this site preserves the only known nursery herd of Columbian mammoths in the United States.


    We’ll cover:

    • How 24 Columbian mammoths were discovered along the Bosque River
    • Why this is one of the most unique Ice Age fossil sites in North America
    • What makes seeing the fossils in place so powerful
    • The natural landscape that buried — and preserved — these giants
    • Trails you can hike while visiting the monument


    Whether you're into national parks, Texas history, paleontology, hiking, or family travel destinations, this is a must-visit stop in Waco.

  • What Independence National Historical Park Teaches Us — And Why It Still Matters

    What Independence National Historical Park Teaches Us — And Why It Still Matters
    Feb 26 2026
    Independence National Historical Park reminds us that America was never meant to be finished. It was designed as a living experiment shaped by debate, fueled by hope, and challenged by contradiction. The same questions they wrestled with inside these buildings — freedom, equality, power, responsibility — are the same ones we wrestle with today. Walking these streets isn’t about idolizing the past; it’s about recognizing our role in the future. Come join us for a review of Independence National Historic Park.
