Episode 182: Ever-Present (ad-free)
Added 2021-10-11 04:01:03 +0000 UTCWhile many of the places we live are defined by their current, modern personalities, a look into the past can reveal a much more thrilling—and terrifying—picture. And no where is that more true than the Silver State.

Comments
I'm just catching up on all these episodes I missed and honestly it's so exciting to hear people talk about Nevada that isn't just the Vegas skyline. I grew up on the edges of Job's Peak which is not the usual idea that people get when you says you're from Nevada.
