Normal and Good Podcast

Happy Friday, y'all! 

It's no secret that I think ghost towns are the coolest. So let's talk about them!

I want to acknowledge that I am currently living (and therefore producing this podcast) on the land of the Ute, Paiute, Goshute, and Eastern Shoshone people.

Ghost towns and sites mentioned in this episode: West Dip and West Mercur, Nine Mile Canyon, Grafton, Thistle, Tintic Reduction Mill, and Silver City.
