Episode Synopsis

Its a question as old as the 1989: Who started the fire? I think Billy Joel was pretty clear it wasn't him. After all, JFK was blown away so what more is there to say?
At least its all a metaphorical fire though, imagine how terrible it would be if there really was a fire that's been burning for several decades. On that note I have some troubling news...
On this week's episode we're discussing Centralia Pennsylvania. If you're a fan of obscure, oddball history this episode is for you.
