One Man Gathers What Another Man Spills: Chasing History

What kind of pub/hotel/handcrafting/live music business has a history department? And why? In Episode 3 of The Red Shed Tapes we're talking about how history is an integral part of the McMenamins experience and how 28-year historian Tim Hills built a department from the ground up as the company was restoring buildings from the roof down. We'll meet staff historians, hear from superstar drag queen Poison Waters, and stop by the second biggest UFO festival in the U.S. But first, a story about the Godfather of Soul, James Brown.   Check out the transcript & photos here on the BLOG   Produced by McMenamins, Gretchen Kilby and Jess Is Creative Host: Shannon McMenamin Sound design & audio editing: Gretchen Kilby Writing: Kat Nyberg and Jess Lyness of Jess Is Creative Editing: Michelle "Jake" Robbins Video production: Kat Nyberg McMenamins archival audio, video & photos: Kat Nyberg McMenamins archival photos: Liz Devine McMenamins production team: Kat Nyberg, Michelle "Jake" Robbins, Renee Rank Ignacio Art: Lillian Ripley   Read more about Tim Hills's evening with James Brown in his essay.
