Episode Synopsis

This time, instead of focusing on what's new, we focus on what's old. We discuss places that used to be at the forefront of innovation, but have long since lost their purpose. Some got repurposed, but some got 'lost'. Among them obvious candidates, like airports or railway tunnels, but also less obvious candidates, like nature reserves. We also discuss places that were destined to get lost, but didn't, and we also reveal what happened to Tower Bridge.To confirm this episode went back in time, please email [email protected] with the episode number in the subject line.
