Chasing Earhart

1001 Heroes, Legends, Histories & Mysteries A while ago, we were alerted to a podcast hosted by Jon Hagadorn titled 1001 Heroes, Legends, Histories & Mysteries. They recently released a two part Amelia Earhart retrospective series that detailed the Japanese capture hypothesis in great detail. Covering information that hadn't been widely distributed, Jon and his team dove deep into the hypothesis in a way that could introduce folks who didn't know about Amelia Earhart & Fred Noonan's presence in the Marshall Islands. Shortly afterwards, we reached out to Jon and we decided to release a cross promotional podcast. This is our half of that cross promotion. For those folks out there that subscribe to and follow the Japanese capture hypothesis, this will be an enjoyable episode of Chasing Earhart. And be sure to search the 1001 Heroes, Legends, Histories & Mysteries podcast for Jon's interview with Chasing Earhart project creator Chris Williamson; being released simultaneously along side this podcast. Enjoy this very special two - part joint podcast release!

Amelia Earhart's Radio: A Conversation with Paul Rafford Jr. by Chasing Earhart

In our eighth episode of the Chasing Earhart podcast, we welcome Abigail Harrison or as she is more commonly known, "Astronaut Abby"! In this in-depth and revealing interview, we chat with Abby about the inspiration of Amelia Earhart, the Mars Generation, STEM, her work as an aspiring astronaut and why she feels that overcoming your fears and chasing your dreams is the very best way to achieve everything you've ever wanted! This is an interview that will have a lot of people talking for quite some time!

A curious young girl. A  mysterious and reclusive woman. In this episode, we discuss the novel "Miss E" with author and educator Brian Herberger. We discuss the research and writing of the book as well as detailed plot spoilers and characters in this compelling novel that mixes historical fact with fiction and imagination that takes all on a journey of discovery.

In episode five of the Chasing Earhart podcast, we welcome William (Bill) Snavely to discuss the numbers in the Amelia Earhart world flight. Among the topics discussed are fuel consumption, the three factors that he believes contributed most to the world flight and why he believes that Amelia and Fred turned the Electra around when they were convinced that the fuel they had was not going to be enough for the final leg of the world flight. Get out your pencils, paper and calculators because we're going to school!

In our fourth episode, we speak with Susan Ware; author of "Still Missing" Amelia Earhart and the Search for Modern Feminism." We cover a variety of topics including Amelia's feminist role model status to women in the 1930's as well as her ongoing impact on today's youth.

Since the inception of this podcast, people have suggested a number of folks for us to talk to. However there has been one person that's stood out among all the rest. I cannot tell you how many times people have asked me, "When are you going to have Ric Gillespie on?" Well how about now? Ric sat in with us and gave the longest, most in depth interview he's ever given regarding Ms. Earhart and the work that TIGHAR has done over the course of the last 28 years. Ric gives his personal thoughts on his work, Ms. Earhart, her impact and legacy and why he feels she continues to capture the world's attention 80 years after she disappeared.

Our guest this week is Paul Niquette from "Which Way Amelia?" Paul has been studying the disappearance of Amelia Earhart & Fred Noonan for many years. Mr. Niquette focuses his efforts on the final 20 hours of the world flight; breaking down different aspects of the flight into ten puzzles that challenge the common thinking and enlighten people on the facts of the flight. Enjoy this fascinating interview with Mr. Niquette and as always, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions please let us know!

We are very honored and excited to bring you the very first episode of the C h a s I n g E a r h a r t podcast! Our guest for the inaugural episode, is TIGHAR senior archaeologist Tom King.
