Before They Vanish
Journeys into the world's remote, oral cultures
A Big Blend Radio podcast, new episodes every fourth Monday.
Before They Vanish is a Big Blend Radio podcast featuring explorer, naturalist and award-winning author James Michael Dorsey. Each episode takes listeners into the world's most remote tribal cultures and fragile natural environments, told through decades of firsthand fieldwork across more than sixty countries and 100+ indigenous communities.
From covert manuscript-rescue missions in the Sahara to nomadic caravans, cetacean conservation and vanishing oral traditions, James brings a rare, immersive perspective, living as a "fly on the wall" among the people and places he documents so their stories survive before they disappear from memory.
