Navigating the Panama Canal by Rolando Arrieta
At the beginning of the year, Panamanians celebrated the turnover of the Panama Canal from United States control. After nearly a century, the waterway continues to play a major role in tourism and international commerce. It is still considered one of the marvels of the world. More than 300 cruise ships a year go through the Panama Canal. According to Radio Producer Rolando Arrieta, a trip through the canal is a mind-boggling experience. He describes the transiting process aboard a special, legendary ship.
Interview: Ann Bancroft's Antarctica
To hear Ann Bancroft tell it, she got hooked on the idea of polar travel
As a young girl, reading the accounts of Ernest Shackleton.
Unlike most of us she did something about it - 8 years ago, she made it to
the North Pole by dogsled. That apparently wasn't enough. When she discovered
that a Norwegian woman named Liv Arnesen had also been captivated by the journals
of the Antarctic, the two of them decided to team up and try to cross the entire
continent on skis. It took them over three months, but they did it - ski-sailing across the Arctic.
Cowboy Poets by Dick Gordon
Recently, southern californians scurried to the Melody
Ranch in the Antelope Valley for the annual Cowboy Poetry and Music
Festival. This was a journey back in the hills, and also back
in time.
