All those hot springs, geysers, and greenery that make Yellowstone National Park famous are powered by an enormous volcano underneath it. And, according to the internet’s most excitable corners, it’s just itching to explode.
Today, we’re sharing an episode from Are We Doomed?, the NPR Network podcast about “the end of the world.” Host Ben Bradford explores the anxieties of our times and tries to understand what’s real and what’s imagined. In this case, the Yellowstone supervolcano — which is almost certainly not about to blow its top.

Andrew Phung is a comedian and actor best known for playing Kimchee on the TV show Kim's Convenience, and he's the creator and star of Run the Burbs. But for this conversation, what matters most is that Andrew is a superfan of Calgary, the medium-sized city in Alberta where he grew up. Andrew talks about living the “Canadian dream,” why he chose to set Run the Burbs in his hometown, and why Calgary is an underappreciated comedy city.
This month, we're talking with Canadian writers and artists who find inspiration in their home province of Alberta. This episode was produced in partnership with Travel Alberta. Explore Canada's Wild Side.
This episode was produced by Nora Ritchie.
