Ep. 016 — What Is It All About

 

“And I think it saved the day, because we didn't have any money.”

—Captain Rainbow

 

 

About:

No place has tested the currents of change more than the Anderson Valley, a Gaza Strip-sized setting hidden in the hills of Northern California. Home to the language of Boontling, a fast fading past prose of the old frontier, the fate of the area’s kitschy tongue relies not on whether the valley will change, but how.

And why.
