America’s history was completely rewritten, and no one is talking about it.

My guest in this episode is known online as The Archivist, an independent researcher who spends his time reading newspapers from the 1700s through the early 1900s and archiving what the accepted history books left out.

A motorcycle accident and near-death experience twenty years ago set him on this path. Since then, he's built the Anomalous America series, going state by state through old articles about buried cities, giant skeletons, canal systems lined with radium-impregnated ceramics, petrified forests, and mummies pulled from caves and mounds in the middle of the country.

Our conversation moves through the collapse of the standard American narrative. The insane asylums that dwarfed every Capitol building. The tunnels dynamited during construction of the St. Louis bridge. Lovelock Cave and what the natives kept telling settlers about the giants they had warred with. Philadelphia City Hall and why they couldn't afford to tear it down.

If the history you were handed has started to feel thin, this one gives you something real to explore.
