  Last Great Indian Kingdoms -...

  As foreign invasions and internal struggles reshaped India’s political landscape, a few powerful kingdoms stood as the last great defenders of Indian sovereignty before their eventual decline.  
  The Pala Empire, the Vijayanagara Empire, and the Chola Empire were among the most influential dynasties, each leaving a lasting impact on Indian culture, politics, and military strategy.  
  The Pala Empire, known for its strong Buddhist patronage, was one of the last major bastions of Buddhism in India, promoting education through institutions like Nalanda. The Chola Empire, a dominant force in South India, built a vast maritime network, expanded its influence to Southeast Asia, and created architectural marvels such as the Brihadeeswarar Temple.  
  The Vijayanagara Empire, founded as a Hindu stronghold against Islamic expansion, became a beacon of art, culture, and military resilience, with its capital, Hampi, standing as a testament to its grandeur.  
  Despite their military strength and cultural achievements, these kingdoms eventually fell to foreign invasions and internal strife, marking the end of an era in Indian history.

  As one of the world’s leading female professional rock and ice climbers, Majka Burhardt and her husband led globe-trotting, adventure-seeking lives. When she learns that she’s pregnant—with twins—Burhardt at first tries to justify her insistence on pursuing extreme risk in the face of responsibility. But she is ultimately forced to grieve the avalanche of emotions that accompanies any major life transitions along with the physical changes in her own body. 
  Based on the letters and journals Burhardt diligently kept over the course of those six years, More takes the reader on an around-the-world journey as Burhardt explores the transformative, identity-shifting experience of motherhood and its irreversible impact on career, identity, marriage, and self. 
  In the early weeks of her children's lives, Burhardt immerses herself in adoration for her twins and grappling with the tremendous guilt and struggle around having to return to risk-laden work and that ever elusive balance mothers everywhere seek amidst it all.  
  As the newness of her twins fades into a permanent reality, Burhardt turns her attention towards her marriage and the collateral damage as she and her husband, Peter, struggle to navigate their new normal. As anger and resentment threaten the foundation of her family, Burhardt courageously looks to her past—and her own mother's tumultuous and confusing history of success, violence, and ragged divorce—to better understand her own way forward. How will she break free from the legacy of her own childhood to start fresh with her own family?  
  Raw, candid, and galvanizing, More is a passionate and poignant testament to the enduring power of love and our lifelong journey to understand ourselves as we strive to always pursue more.

  Some of the most visited national parks in the country have a dark side. 
   
   
   
  Aside from crowds of hikers, campers, and general tourists, there’s a dark side to many that can be found in the great states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho. From strange disappearances, grisly murders and bone-chilling paranormal hauntings and ghost sightings; these pristine locales have a lot more to offer than just serene hiking trails or camping. In this third installment of National Park Mysteries & Disappearances, Steve Stockton, along with Bill Melder, presents the listener with a side to these locations you've never heard before. 
   
   
   
  So, put aside your nature guidebooks, forget about the pretty leaves, and the relaxing streams as well as the miniature golf, the funnel cakes and all the other "tourist traps" and prepare for a wild ride on the dark side of these major national parks.
