In this episode I explore the story behind the story of one of America's most unusual named cities.  We're going to learn about the story behind the name of the town, Toad Suck, Arkansas.  Yes… Toad. Suck.

Now before you reach for the map to double-check, let me assure you, this is not a typo, a prank, or a dare gone wrong. This is a real place, with a real history, and a name that has confused travelers, amused locals, and raised eyebrows for generations.

You might be wondering, who named it? Why did it stick? And perhaps most importantly… what exactly were they thinking? 

Well, that’s exactly what we’re about to find out.
