Wil Wheaton on Dropping Names with Brent and Jonny

If you haven't checked out the Jonathan Frakes and Brent Spiner podcast Dropping Names, this is a pretty good episode to jump in. It's not a Star Trek podcast, but it's Star Trek adjacent. They talk about famous people they know and the stories behind the scenes. For me, this is a very calming podcast and I love hearing Jon and Brent chat about things.

And hearing Brent crack up trying to tell his own joke at the beginning of the episode is great! Also, I've probably listened to the John Scalzi audiobook Wil Wheaton talks about at the beginning when he talks about meeting Henry Rollins.

Banff RCMP say U.S. tourist died in accident at Johnston Canyon

"A gentleman crossed some barriers and entered the pools, and he's believed to have entered on a couple of occasions," says Buxton-Carr. "On the third occasion, he jumped from a height and briefly surfaced, but appeared to be in some difficulty and returned under the surface."

In a statement to CBC News, Parks Canada says the Johnston Canyon trail has now been reopened to the public. It had been closed to visitors since the incident occurred on Friday.

Parks Canada says it conducted "an extensive search of the area, including the upper and lower pools at the Lower Falls," but they were unable to find the man .

"Due to ongoing hazardous water conditions, all available search efforts have been exhausted at this time, and recovery operations have been suspended," the statement said.
