Podcasts about Roadside Attractions

Hello Friends! Today's episode is all about the animals that were transported on May 23rd, 2026. This includes part of the 191 doodles seized in the puppy mill bust in Alabama.

Today’s headlines, as do most stories that the world deems important, remind us that we are just passing through this life. Whether it’s aliens, mass immigration and movements of populations of people, the economy or whatever we are all told is important, we as believers have to remember it’s all temporary.  A considerable amount of what occupies the headlines are mere “roadside attractions”. Now, when we talk about Israel and point to their redemption drawing nigh, that is something worth taking note of and we do regularly. Those are Mile Markers, things that show us how late the hour is. And truly we are just passing through – that’s also important as a mindset. And with the anniversary of the opening of Route 66 and how it transported so many Americans to “see the USA in your Chevrolet”, we’re thinking the only change of address we desire is our heavenly home. We talk about OPEC and why it is integral to the Middle East and will be for some time. We talk about the temple and the youth who want it rebuilt in their lifetimes; also about mass immigration and how it’s designed to erase the West and the Judeo-Christian worldview. A full hour on today’s edition of SUFTT.

Today is May The 4th, so we looked at a list of deals you can take advantage of today. Plus, a list of some GIANT roadside attractions to look for on your next road trip. Elsewhere in sports, a recap of the Kentucky Derby, and did you see Malik Willis' first pitch? Just a bit outside…Plus, an EMT recently needed an EMT for himself after taking a foul ball to the mommy/daddy button! Check out this mom who's got a unique take on kids & sharing.

"Fuze" is a 2025 British crime thriller heist film directed by David Mackenzie and written by Ben Hopkins, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Theo James, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Sam Worthington. Set in London, there is a citywide evacuation when an unexploded World War II bomb is unearthed at a busy construction site. Amid the escalating tension and chaos, a daring criminal operation is set in motion -- one that uses the evacuation as a cover for a meticulously planned bank heist. As authorities race against time to contain the crisis, alliances blur, and moral boundaries are crossed. The film premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its action, tension, twists, and muscular direction. Taylor-Johnson, Worthington, and Mackenzie were all kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their work and experiences making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will be released in theaters on April 24th from Roadside Attractions and Saban Films. Thank you, and enjoy!

Send a textA haunted clown motel next to a cemetery. A gas station exhibit simply called “The Thing.” A Stonehenge replica built from old American cars. Then, somehow, a gigantic mailbox you can walk into takes the crown. That's the kind of chaos we love, and it's why our annual Roadside Attractions March Madness is back. We're joined by returning guest Megan Bannister of Oleo In Iowa, a roadside attraction expert who chases hidden gems, world's largest things, and small-town oddities for a living. Together we run a bracket seeded with help from ChatGPT, debate what truly counts as a roadside attraction, and make tough calls when beauty, history, and pure weirdness collide. Along the way we hit favorites like Carhenge in Nebraska, Salvation Mountain in California, the Clown Motel in Nevada, Dr Evermor's Forevertron in Wisconsin, and the surprisingly emotional lore of a giant pencil sharpening party. If you're planning a USA road trip, a Route 66 detour, or you just want a better list of quirky roadside stops worth pulling over for, you'll leave with fresh ideas and strong opinions. Subscribe for more travel stories, share this with a road trip buddy, and leave a review with the weirdest roadside attraction you've ever visited.Megan - https://olioiniowa.com/Support the showFacebookInstagramYoutube

Ted Hustead, grandson of Wall Drug's founders shares tales of how the tiny town's drugstore became the number one roadside attraction in America.

Haliburton County recently hosted a fur trapping workshop and it got Kate thinking about historical fur trapping when it was more significant in the community. Plus, Paul went down a rabbit hole thinking about all the kitschy "world's biggest" road side attractions that were part of road trips when people starting driving the roads on family vacations. For example there's the world's biggest lobster, the Big Apple, and many more. And, of course, the refrain from the back seat - are we there yet? Kate Butler is the Director of the Haliburton Highlands Museum. Paul Vorvis is the host of the Your Haliburton Morning Show 7 - 9 a.m. Fridays on Canoe FM 100.9 and streaming on your devices. Haliburton County is in cottage country about 2 1/2 hours north of Toronto. You can contact us at timewarp@canoefm.com

Hello and welcome to another episode of Ohio Mysteries Backroads. In tonight's episode we explore 3 Ohio roadside attractions with Backroads flair. When Ohio was still considered the countries frontier, legendary Wyandot leader "Leatherlips" helped broker peace deals with the European settlers. This didnt sit well with his fellow tribesman and would ultimately cost him his life. A striking monument stands today in his memory, evocative of the legendary "Sitting Bull" monument. Overlooking the Scioto Rive in Dublin, Ohio, this limestone monument stands today as a tribute to the legendary warrior chief. Traveling West, is the infamous "Blue Hole" of Castalia. Once rumored to have no bottom, this crystal clear pool dumps millions of gallons into the Sandusky Bay each day. Once attracting over 165,00 people each year, this location was closed in 1990 and is in private hands today. However, similar type pools are located close by that you can visit. You can even win a chance to be one of the lucky few to have a chance to visit the original park. Finally, did you know that Ohio had an amusement park that is only open 4 days a year? It has 2 roller coasters many smaller rides and games. Built by the Stricker family, you can attend (on one of the 4 days, you will have to listen to find out which 4).

The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown: Song 20 — Neil from Arroyo GrandeHey, it's jD, and this week I'm joined by a die-hard hockey fan and Hip convert who hails from California. Meet Neil from Arroyo Grande, the west coast wizard of late-night YouTube rabbit holes and deep-cut reverence.Neil didn't grow up with The Hip in his backyard. He had to find them — through hockey, through Trailer Park Boys, through a fascination with Canadian culture that led him down a road paved with Gretzky, Jericho, and yes… Gord.We talk about getting into the band via Yer Favourites, chasing context across albums and eras, and how discovering The Hip opened the door to new perspectives on art, identity, and memory. He shares what it's like being an American Hip fan (“Wait, they're not on the radio here?”), and how Phantom Power, Man Machine Poem, and some Gordon Edgar Downie solo magic helped him through hard times — and made the music his own.From WWE finishers to vapor trails to songs that hit like Shakespearean tragedy, this one's for the late bloomers, the lyric heads, and anyone who ever found themselves singing along to a song they didn't fully understand… until they really did.

Which will claim the championship? The baseball field where ghosts emerge from cornfields or the town that reimagined itself through science fiction?Join us for this laughter-filled road trip across America's most unusual destinations, and discover which attraction truly deserves the title of roadside champion.

David then gives us a short history on roadside attractions, and I learn about the World Famous Muffler Men – an icon of the road trip era.   Full Show Notes Production Credits Hosted by Peih-Gee Law & David Spira Puzzles by Peih-Gee Law Produced by Theresa Piazza Supported by Lisa Spira Edited by Peih-Gee Law Music by Matt Farthing Logo by Theresa Wagner If you enjoyed this episode, you can also hear more from Anne & Chris on Season 1, Episode 4 of Reality Escape Pod and consider joining the Escape Immerse Explore Time & Space Tour.
