On this Father's Day remembrance, host Don Murphy and his co-host daughter, Anna reminisce and share stories about their father daughter adventures.  From the time she was a seven years old Anna helped her father with constructions projects and the two of them often went shopping together.  Anna even invited her father to help shop for her prom dress, which began a life long adventure of father/daughter shopping.  Don also shares a story of taking Anna at age 4 months to the white mountains for a spiritual christening in the moonlight in front an ancient Bristle Cone Pine.  Finally, you will hear Don's take on what social and physical distancing has done to the very human practice of hugging.  Please join us for this Father's Day Remembrance.

Don Murphy hosts Nature and Science Podcast, a series built on conversations with people for whom curiosity is a way of life. Rather than presenting dry lectures, each episode unfolds as a personal narrative, tracing the unique path that led a guest to their particular corner of the natural or scientific world. You might hear a theoretical physicist describe the moment a complex equation first felt beautiful, or a park ranger recount the specific, quiet morning that solidified their commitment to a wilderness area. The discussions are grounded in the human experience behind the disciplines, whether it's a conservation biologist explaining the emotional weight of tracking a species' recovery or an amateur astronomer sharing how mapping the stars became a lifelong solace. This approach makes the vast subjects of nature and science feel accessible and intimately connected to daily life. By focusing on these individual journeys, the podcast reveals how passion and profession intertwine, offering listeners not just information, but inspiration. It’s for anyone who has ever looked at a forest or a formula and wondered about the stories hidden within. Tune in to find a sense of connection through the shared wonder of exploration.
