Mossback’s Northwest: Extended Cut - Episode 1 - The Mystery of the Mima Mounds

Welcome to Mossback’s Northwest: Extended Cut, a YouTube exclusive featuring the full-length conversations we recorded in the Cascade PBS studio for the Mossback podcast. In this episode, co-hosts Knute Berger and Stephen Hegg explore the Mima Mounds. Despite two centuries of speculation and science, a strange prairie full of small, evenly-spaced hills south of Olympia remains a mystery. Listen as Mossback co-hosts discuss the many theories of the famous Mima Mounds’ origins, including earthquakes, fires, floods and ancient gophers.
