His songs "Of Water and Ice" and "Check Your Math" speak to the themes that drove this album, with Miller discussing the fact that many people don't believe in human-caused climate change; however, "You can't debate with a storm that just smashed your house." Miller, who grew up in Washington, D.C. says the city's many museums were a perfect escape from the city's punishing heat, while feeding his curiosity.

Baba Brinkman isn’t just the University of Tennessee’s Singer in Residence. He’s their rapper in residence. Brinkman, who pursued a Master’s degree in Literature so he could better remix Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales into rap format. While in Tennessee, he’s learning math to fuel future raps, and performing The Rap Guide to Evolution about Darwin’s Origin of the Species, which can be just as controversial as rap itself. (June 2012)

National Geographic Emerging Explorer Andrea Marshall lives just feet from the beach in Mozambique where she dives every day to study manta rays. Living in Paradise would seem to be perfect, but Marshall says the smallest amounts of human pressure can demolish a vulnerable animal. A small local fishery has reduced the manta ray population by 88% in recent years, and she's dedicated to rehabbing the numbers of these "pandas of the sea."

Every year at least 38 million animals are pulled from Brazil's forests and sold into the wildlife trade. The macaws, songbirds, reptiles and small mammals are bought by people who, often, are well intentioned and think of themselves as "nature lovers". But National Geographic Emerging Explorer Juliana Machado Ferreira explains that their enthusiasm is simply robbing the environment of its value. She describes her fight to end the illegal wildlife trade in Brazil and explains the considerations that must be taken before returning a "kidnapped" animal back into the wild.

Re-Wilding Brazil's Stolen Animals - Juliana Machado Ferreira

Rappers often boast about the number of homes, cars or girlfriends that they have, but few crack open Canterbury Tales to distil the words of Geoffrey Chaucer into rhyme. But Baba Brinkman isn’t a typical rapper. He has a Master’s degree in literature and had a residency at the University of Tennessee while he was composing his album about Darwin’s ideas on evolution. In his newest album, “The Rap Guide to Wilderness,” Brinkman gives a shout out to National Geographic, while promoting a message of protecting the wilderness. Brinkman explains that rap is a generally urban art form, but humans were created in nature and we can’ t survive without it: “It’s a relatively new concept that we’re separate from it, but we’re just another species.”

Kevin Hunter House Mix 2015

Hunter S. Thompson is famous for his Gonzo Journalism, but the man wasn't always the "hell on wheels, drug crazed" author most people remember. Bryan Kevin follows in the footsteps of the famous author's trek around South America as a "sincere, eager, green journalist" interesed in "Cold War politics and sociology." Kevin discovered that while much of the continent to this day is still affected by past Cold War era policy, civil disobedience is no longer a perilous situation. Kevin's book, "The Footloose American," recalls Thompson backpacked through South America before the trend was a common occurrence, and that Thompson's Law of travel economics stated one should "Go right ahead, do what you will, and damn the cost, it will all come out in the wash."

Weekly Wrap: Take Your Photo Pills

Six years ago today, the lights flickered on an offshore drilling rig. There were two heavy thuds. Minutes later, an explosion of gas, oil and concrete caught fire to the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, forty miles off the coast of Louisiana. If you were watching the news in the following days, you would have seen two ships that came in to help with the ensuing oil spill. One drilled a relief well, and the other eventually capped the blown out well. Matt Partain was a driller on that second ship. He shared this memory with me.

Remembering The BP Oil Spill, Six Years Later
