I Can't Sleep Podcast Episode 338: Columbia River

 
 

Columbia River

Let the mighty Columbia River lull you to sleep—because, let’s be honest, you probably weren’t going to make it to the end of this episode anyway. Tonight, we take a leisurely drift down this iconic waterway, winding through history, geography, and just enough details to ensure you’re snoring before we reach the Pacific. If the thought of hydroelectric dams and salmon migration doesn’t knock you out, nothing will.

This episode is sponsored by Alice Merriwether—big thanks to Alice for making sleep even more accessible!

The Columbia River (Upper Chinook: Wimahl or Wimal; Sahaptin: Nch’i-Wàna or Nchi wana; Sinixt dialect swah’netk’qhu) is the largest river in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. The river forms in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. It flows northwest and then south into the U.S. state of Washington, then turns west to form most of the border between Washington and the state of Oregon before emptying into the Pacific Ocean.
