1x09 What happened to the LAND?
Manage episode 358345046 series 3440798
Did you know one of the most popular landmarks in the world is down to 69% (haha, nice) of what it was when it was first erected? And that this is so by design? Did you know that there was a point when it was considered an ‘eyesore’ by the people who lived near it?
The landmark in question is the famous “Hollywood” sign in California, and I accidently found that there is a rich history behind the sign. Let’s just say, I went looking for the ‘LAND’ that disappeared and ended up discovering a philosophical question along the way! Listen to the episode to find out!
(NB: Yeah, I know this episode was supposed to go out last week. I mean the actual scheduled date for the episode was 5th March but I was supposed to go on a short holiday in the first week of March, so I declared a hiatus that week. Except that week pretty much turned out to be the week from hell for various reasons. So, I took another break the subsequent week just to recover – mentally and physically. And, now, here I am.)
Also, in case you missed it, the podcast now has a companion newsletter called The Tick-Tock – linked down below! You can find details of my struggles with producing the weekly episode and commiserate with (or laugh at) me if you subscribe to it. :P
Theme Music is Highway 430 by Blue Dot Sessions. Additional music by Blue Dot Sessions. Other music used in this week's episode: Tall Journey by Blue Dot Sessions.
