S3 Ep19: Howland Island Landing: A Conversation with Dana Timmer

May 25 2024 26 mins

Over 15 years ago now, I sat down to make a list of dream participants for what would become the Chasing Earhart project. I came up with a list of 25 names and on that list was a man who’s been associated with the search for Amelia Earhart since the first deep ocean expedition for her took place in 1999. In fact, he’s the man who led that search almost 25 years ago. In that tim

S3 Ep18: Parallels: A Conversation with Amelia Rose Earhart

May 08 2024 38 mins

In 2014, as this project was in pre-research, the world was fixated on an around the world flight that dominated the media and much of the aviation related conversation that year. Chief among the many reasons why was the pilot - a woman who shares a namesake with the biggest aviation icon to ever fly the skies. On July 11th, 2014 Amelia Rose Earhart completed her world flight wit

S3 Ep17: 76 Brooks Street: A Conversation with Margie Arnold

May 04 2024 50 mins

One of my very favorite parts of the rebrand for this show has been the flood of new voices that we’ve been able to bring into the ongoing conversation regarding the life, legacy and disappearance of Amelia Earhart. Over the years, a lot of attention has been paid to AE’s upbringing in Atchison, Kansas - and for good reason. Every year, thousands and thousands of visitors flock

S3 Ep16: The Circumnavigator’s Paradox: A Conversation with Liz Smith

Apr 20 2024 50 mins

“It is interesting to note that because of Earhart and Noonan’s particular course, they did cross local midnight on their flight path causing the local date to move forward one day and, for several hours, the pair was alive on July 3rd – one day after they officially disappeared.” Over the last few months of recording this show, I’ve started hearing from dozens of peopl

S3 Ep15: Sky Walker: A Conversation with Bram Kleppner

Mar 31 2024 27 mins

You know, anytime I get the chance to sit down and record another conversation for this show, I consider it an honor. I try to never forget why I’m doing this. The reasons are very important to me. In all the conversations we’ve had for this show, we’ve only ever had one of Amelia’s family members as a guest - that was back in 2018 when Amy Kleppner - daughter of Muriel E

S3 Ep14: The Beginning of the End: A Conversation with Tony Romeo

Feb 11 2024 37 mins

About 2 years ago, my book Rabbit Hole: The Vanishing of Amelia Earhart & Fred Noonan was released, and I could only think of one place to launch it - Atchison Kansas, during the Amelia Earhart festival. It remains as one of my very favorite moments of this entire crazy ride. I knew then, that a deep ocean search was about to take place somewhere off the coast of Howland island

S3 Ep13: Sharpshooter: A Conversation with Jennifer Taylor

Feb 09 2024 35 mins

Of all the people I’ve met during my experience running the Chasing Earhart project, there is one person that you may be surprised to know has never been on this show, despite how close we’ve become over the years. We’re about to right that wrong, right now. In 2019, when I reached out to her, she had no iron in this fire, and very little knowledge on just how big this stor

S3 Ep12: The Truth is How You See It: A Conversation with Chris Hare

Feb 01 2024 62 mins

Several years ago, during the first season of Vanished, I met a historian and researcher out of the UK that immediately caught my interest. Tonight, you’ll see why. We’ve got a very kindred fascination and love for the Earhart story, and some of the behind the scenes work he’s been quietly doing is the exact representation of what historical research should look like. Chris

S3 Ep10: A Big Job: A Conversation with Dick Spink

Dec 12 2023 33 mins

For years, I’ve been discussing a dream expedition that would bring some of this case's brightest minds together in a collaboration that could rewrite history forever. Sometimes, when you’re investigating a scene like the one unfolding in Buka, you get lucky enough to pull an ace. And boy have we ever got one for you tonight. Dick Spink is one of my very favorite people in
