Tonight on The Trail Less Traveled we broadcast the show from a unique desert ecosystem at water level one mile below the rim of the Grand Canyon. During this episode, we take an in depth look at desert ecosystems around the world starting with the American Southwest. Learn about how the sun, air pressure systems & horse latitudes create deserts around the world from Australia, Africa and the Southwest U.S. How have animals adapted to live in harsh arid environments. How might you adapt to live in the desert? Dr. Sean Graham teaches Biology at Sul Ross University in Alpine, Texas. He is also the author of American Snakes.

Thank you to The Roxy Theater for a fantastic year of film and partnership.

We made it! Welcome to 2020!

Ever have the feeling that you're in the right place at the right time? D.A. Pennebaker, who passed away in August 2019, must have felt that way all the time. The pioneering documentarian made a career of being where the action was--and thankfully, his camera was right there with him. Our Focus Series for January, Looking Back: 5 x D.A. Pennebaker pays homage to this great American filmmaker's most iconic concert films and music documentaries, and you better believe we'll play them loud. We're starting on New Year's Day with MONTEREY POP, the never-bettered film of the concert which launched the careers of Otis Redding, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix. Next, we're showing David Bowie's bizarre and beautiful ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS on the great artist's birthday, January 8. We follow that up with DONT LOOK BACK (1/15), Pennebaker's stunning black and white portrait of Bob Dylan on the cusp of global superstardom. ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE (1/22), a loving tribute to R&B and soul performers which includes performances from Wilson Pickett, the Chi-Lites, and Mary Wilson, and we close the series out with DOWN FEOM THE MOUNTAIN (1/29), in which the artists who created the iconic Americana-inflected soundtrack to O Brother, Where Art Thou?, including T-Bone Burnett, Emmylou Harris, and Gillian Welch, gather to perform it live.

The music doesn't stop there, though! Throughout January our programming features some amazing performances from musicians, as well as films set in the world of rock music. This month we'll be showing SCHOOL OF ROCK (1/4), THE BODYGUARD (1/4), ANNIE (1/18), THIS IS SPINAL TAP (1/18) and STOP MAKING SENSE (1/25). We're commemorating David Bowie's birth with Ziggy Stardust, and we're honoring his passing on January 11 with two screenings of the fantasy classic LABYRINTH.

Science on Screen which pairs free screenings of thought-provoking films with insightful and accessible discussions from experts who explain and elaborate upon the scientific principles of the film returns this month with the '80s classic THE GOONIES, followed by the presentation "Know Where You Stand: The Modern Map" with Torry Bishop and Tom Hoober from Missoula's own OnX Hunt.

What are you most excited to see? Let us know!

This Sunday’s show is a new twist on adventure radio... Mandela is handing The Trail Less Traveled over to the community so people are able to interview their mentors, friends, parents and story tellers. Do you have a story teller you would like to interview?

This Sunday, Boo Curry, who has been studying African culture and music for 14-years, interviews her friend and fellow musician, Oumar Keita. Oumar is a native of Guinea, West Africa. He is known for his extensive knowledge of music and history. Oumar showed an interest in traditional music and began singing at an early age. He continues to sing and write traditional music but can also rap in Malinke, Susu and French. Oumar Keita plays traditional instruments like the bolon, gnoni and N’gongoma, which accompany his singing.

Join us tonight at 6pm for an adventure on The Trail Less Traveled with your host, Mandela van Eeden.

Kevin McManigal is mapping protected areas for the most endangered species in the world... mainly tigers, lions and snow leopards. Before you read these statistics, please remember apathy for the environment is mankind's ticket to extinction.. 96% of the mammals on planet earth are livestock and humans leaving only 4% for wild animals. 60% of all mammals are livestock. 36% are humans. 4% are wild. We have lost 83% of all mammals on the planet, these species are not here solely because of humans. 80% of marine animals and 50% of all plants are also lost due to human impact. Elephants, rhinos and lions are just a few species which are also extremely threatened and close to extinction. We have lost 80% of all snow leopards on the planet. In 100 years we went from 200,000 to 20,000 lions; 100,000 to 7,000 cheetahs; 100,000 to 4,000 tigers. There are more tigers alive in captivity in the state of Texas than there are in the world. Scientist have found that for tigers, a 96% decrease in population coincides with a 96% loss of habitat.

There are about 200,000 protected areas in the world which are in various stages of "actual protection". 50% of these protected areas have not yet been mapped... making it harder for these animals to be protected from poaching. The number one problem that these animals are facing right now is poaching. We will discuss the extremely organized black market of wildlife trade. Most tigers are being poached as their body parts are highly valued for non-effective medicinal purposes and "tiger bone wine" in China. 1 in 5 tigers are dying per year from poaching. The most effective tactic is to place armed guards in protected areas to stand guard over these animals. It is truly challenging for rangers to protect endangered species when the protected areas are not mapped as they have to navigate extremely dense jungle and are up against professional and highly armored poaching groups akin to military officers.

McManigal has intimate knowledge of the modern GIS and cartographic workflow. Employed as a professional cartographer, he is a recognized innovator among his peers at the North America Cartographic Information Society. He teaches cartography as an art form, utilizing GIS and graphics software to produce maps that inform and inspire. He also has extensive travel experience, including mountaineering expeditions to Alaska, Europe, and South America. His field research includes trips to the Sierra Nevada of California, the Himalaya of Nepal and Bhutan, and the Altai of Mongolia, where he studies the dynamics of glacial change.

Tune in tonight at 6 for this very important interview. If you can't catch it live, you can find this, and all episodes of The Trail Less Traveled, at traillesstraveled.net, or wherever you gather podcasts.

The Trail Less Traveled is sponsored by The Trail Head, Clark Fork Coalition, Skin Chic, Big Sky Bikes, and Frame of Mind.
