How do we understand the places we visit (and even the places we’ve never been)? As a shorthand, we use agreed-upon touchstones - famous places, famous people famous foods, and, of course, dreams. Dreamed-up people and dreamed-up places and dreamed-up things. This podcast looks at a culture's icons - real and imagined - to see what they say about the culture itself, as well as the outsiders who've... more

This is perhaps the first and only podcast that made me cry tears of--well, they were joyful, but they were bittersweet, and they were cathartic. It was the episode about Terry Pratchett and Discworld--an episode that is over two years old as I write this--and the show has not only maintained that quality since then, but gone to new heights and lengths to bring us the stories of the places and symbols that surround us.
I consider it a must-listen!
Enjoyable to listen to, well put together. Charles does great research and is easy to listen to. Full disclosure, I am a guest in the Pymouth Rock episode.
I found this podcast while searching through my suggested podcasts and then clicking 10 times over until seeing something that seemed interesting. IT WAS! Seriously. Charles’ story about the real history of Plymouth Rock told from a variety of perspectives was such an enjoyable hour of listening. I WANT MORE.
Really interesting history of some of the symbols we take for granted. They do a really great job on the research and the narrator has an amazing voice. Really loved listening to it!
Charles does an absolutely impeccable job with this amazing pod
