Folklorist Mark Norman, the creator and host of The Folklore Podcast, returns to write and present an individual episode of the show.
Spurred on by the recent viral sharing of the Chicago Rat Hole, Mark takes a look at the history of this simulacrum as well as other folk art and belief associated with our roads from flacking to the Virgin Mary, and from holes in the ground to manholes in space. Maybe.
