Featuring in-depth interviews with historians, writers and other experts; sound-rich reports from locations across the United States; original essays connecting Lewis and Clark's story to modern issues; original music and dramatic interpretations; and regular features that explore how history might have changed as a result of different decisions made along the trail – UNFINISHED JOURNEY is a truly original radio series.
