An audio guide to the world’s strange, incredible, and wondrous places. Co-founder Dylan Thuras and a neighborhood of Atlas Obscura reporters explore a new wonder every day, Monday through Thursday. In under 15 minutes, they’ll take you to an incredible place, and along the way, you’ll meet some fascinating people and hear their stories. Our theme and end credit music is composed by Sam Tyndall.
Will Ferguson and the Town that “Defies Logic”
Will Ferguson is an award-winning writer and novelist. He’s lived across the globe from South America to Japan, but his work is inspired by his home: Alberta, Canada. Today, he tells us about three places that have shaped his writing: a Japanese garden, a ghost town that transformed into a theater hub, and a 12-foot statue of a fur trader.
This month, we're talking with Canadian writers and artists who find inspiration in their home province of Alberta. This episode was produced in partnership with Travel Alberta. Explore Canada's Wild Side.
