A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers. In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest. These works aren’t meant to be easy to reach—or to explain—but they just might change how you see the world. Land art you’ll visit in this episode: - Double Negative and City by Michael Heizer (Garden Valley, Nevada) - Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson (Great Salt Lake, Utah) - Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (Great Basin Desert, Utah) - Lightning Field by Walter De Maria (Catron County, New Mexico) - Roden Crater by James Turrell (Painted Desert, Arizona) Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.…

Jon and Seth are joined by Oscar Rios, President of Golden Goblin Press. We ask him about the latest news coming out of Golden Goblin Press, and why the Miskatonic Valley is such an attractive locale for Lovecraftian Gothic horror. This episode is sponsored by Matt "Doc" Tracey, and his amazing Call of Cthulhu scenarios, Ghost Trade, and Lights in the Trees. Ghost Trade is a classic 1920s scenario set in the fictional town of Pennybrook, Maine. The investigators visit Pennybrook to study a spike in the number of earthquakes in the region. Townsfolk say the earthquakes are the result of the Pennybrook ghost. Clearly, there is a rational scientific reason for the earthquakes, and the investigators are determined to find out what it is. Ghost Trade on DriveThruRPG Lights in the Trees is a 1975 post-Vietnam War setting scenario. The investigators are veterans of the War, platoon brothers, who are called back together to help one of their own who’s having trouble adjusting to life back at home. Can they help their friend conquer his personal demons, or will those demons consume them as well? Lights in the Trees on DriveThruRPG Oscar Rios & Golden Goblin Press Islands of Ignorance: The Third Cthulhu Companion Kickstarter, and Dark Seas of Infinity: The Fourth Cthulhu Companion , and Legacy of Shadows : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/golden-goblin-press/island-of-ignorance-the-third-cthulhu-companion-for-7e/description Oscar Rios Lovecraft Wiki list of credits: https://lovecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Oscar_Rios We can’t do this show alone.
