On today’s program we visit the land of the giants. Our special guest is Joel Baker of the American Giants Museum in Atlanta, Illinois. He is also the host of the fascinating American Giants YouTube channel where he documents fascinating giant stories, his search for giants, and their resotration.
These larger than life spacemen, cowboys, lumberjacks, and gas station attendants were once found all along the American roadside. They cast long shadows at gas stations, restaurants, tire stores and trading posts. Generically known as Muffler Men they are icons with a fascinating story. And now they are being given a new lease on life all along Route 66.
Join author and host Jim Hinckley of Jim Hinckley's America for another smile inducing, road trip inspiring shared adventure.
