  • Summary

  • If you're one of those listeners who love our tangets, then you're going to absolutely wet yourself over this episode. If you're one of the folks on Spotify who complains VERY vocally about how we don't stay on track, well...maybe sit this one out?

    This is the story of the Caribou Hotel. Come for the ghosts, stay for: America's hat; San Francisco, ghost town; they use mice; the Klondike Gold Ease; ITAG at the toe; the Anderson hotel, sponsored by Coca-Cola; and a too-helpful ghost.
