  • 37 Days in Yellowstone” by the America’s National Parks Podcast presents the truly captivating story of Truman Everts with equal parts tranquility and suspense similar to The Revenant. Listeners are easily engrossed with the narrator’s natural storytelling cadence and a light score underlying the entire episode. The hosts know the story is worthy of cinematic quality, and they achieve that feat easily within its brief 40 minute runtime. America’s National Parks Podcast succeeds in capturing the natural majesty of their subject matter.
