Centralia, and the Tyranny of Memory

On episode 39 we explored the haunting of Pittsburgh and it led to conversations about Centralia, the little Pennsylvania town underneath which a fire has been burning for over 50 years. Turns out Ian has always wanted to go there, and Brennan has been, so on this episode the guys talk Centralia and the dangers nostalgia can bring. Also, Brennan finally opens up and tells a story that, until now, only a handful of people have known. Maybe someone out there can help him make sense of it. July's bonus episode was late so you got 2 in August, and this second one is double length!
