Join us on a quest through the hidden realm of fictional towns and trap streets inspired by the cunning of cartographers like Ernest Alpins and Otto Lindbergh. Learn how the fictitious town of Aglo, originally created to catch plagiarists, unexpectedly blossomed into a real-life tourist destination. Listen to Darlene Beers as she unravels her family's storied history with the land, debunks myths, and shares the charming, albeit fictitious, tales of the area. We'll also uncover the clever moves by Rand McNally to outwit a lawsuit and how Aglo made its way onto Google Maps and into the hearts of curious travelers, marked by a mysterious sign perched high on a telephone pole.
Our adventure doesn't stop there! We'll reminisce about Hammond, Montana, a ghost town rich with its own stories, drawing connections to the whimsical nature of fictional town creation. Plus, get ready for some laughs as we recall the infamous anti-marijuana ad featuring a melting girl, its hilarious parody in "Super High Me," and our own high-spirited escapades in Bozeman. And for a fun twist, we're brainstorming a new film idea where we get stoned and embark on a culinary tour of Portland's fanciest restaurants. This episode blends historical intrigue, personal anecdotes, and plenty of humor that will leave you both entertained and enlightened.
