  • Résumé

  • Join us for true stories about the adventures, heroes, and misfits that shaped society by exploring and pushing the limits of the unknown. Each episode is a short story about interesting people, beautiful places, and the challenging decisions of some of history’s greatest adventures. We explore famous firsts, near misses, lost expeditions, pioneering missions, quirky events, forgotten achievements - and why they matter. Adventures highlight the extremes of the human experience. Risks amplify potential outcomes and make extraordinary moments even more fascinating. Every adventure is different, but the lessons are often timeless and universal. We profile diverse adventurers from around the world. Immerse ourselves in the context of different times in history. And, see what we can learn from hiking, biking, climbing, kayaking, traveling, mountaineering, sailing, surfing, skiing, Overlanding, flying, and more. There’s a story to almost every adventure, and we hope you are inspired and better prepared for whatever adventure lies ahead. The Adventure Almanac is brought to you by the team at Adventure Nerds. Are you ready for an adventure? Alright then, let’s go!

  • Matthew Henson - Towards The North Pole

    Matthew Henson - Towards The North Pole
    Jul 5 2021

    From 1891-1909, Matthew Henson dedicated his life to exploring the Arctic. Originally, Robert Peary hired Henson as a servant, but in 1908, when it was time for Peary’s third and final attempt to reach the North Pole, it was Henson who was Peary’s most trusted partner. As a Black American at the turn of the century, he faced constant racism, but in the Arctic, his character and skills couldn’t be ignored. He was the best person to lead the final push to the North Pole, but would he be the first to reach it?

    Part 2: Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland Race Around The World
    May 31 2021

    If you haven’t listened to Part 1, we recommend that you listen to that episode first. Part 2 begins with Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland almost halfway around the world. Bly had no idea she was racing anything but the fictional record in Jules Verne’s novel, Around The World in 80 Days. Did either of them make it in less than 80 days? Did they even make it back to New York? https://adventurenerds.com/podcast/nellie-bly-and-elizabeth-bisland-race-around-the-world/

  • Part 1: Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland Race Around The World

    Part 1: Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland Race Around The World
    May 27 2021

    In 1889, Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland left New York with the goal of setting the fastest known time record for traveling around the world. Nellie Bly had the idea to beat the fictional record set in the book, Around The World in 80 Days. Elizabeth Bisland was sent in the opposite direction to race Nellie Bly. Both women were in their mid-20’s, had limited travel experience, and most people didn’t think they could do it alone. What happened next?
