Episode Synopsis

S6 E10: Into the Unknown: A Book Dialogue on Mystery, Wilderness, and WonderFeaturing “The Whisper on the Night Wind” by Adam Shoalts and “In the Valleys of the Noble Beyond” by John ZadaWhat draws us into the forest, beyond the last known path? Why do we seek the places where maps grow vague and stories grow strange?In this episode of The Book Dialogue, we delve into two compelling narratives that explore our human longing for the unknown: Adam Shoalts’s The Whisper on the Night Wind, a chilling true tale of an eerie legend deep in Labrador’s wilds, and John Zada’s In the Valleys of the Noble Beyond, an evocative exploration of the Sasquatch mystery in British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest.At the heart of both books lies a profound question: Do we need the unexplained in our lives? Might mystery itself be a kind of nourishment for the imagination—and a compass for the soul?Join us as we journey through landscapes where myth and reality blur, where silence is thick with possibility, and where the search for truth often reveals more about ourselves than the world we wander.Sarah and RebeccaMusic by Epidemic SoundForest Trekking By Adriel Fair https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/M...
