Episode 33
33 | Linda Hazzard and Starvation Heights, Seattle's Mystery Soda Machine, and a Gravity Hill
Hello, listeners - this week Katy brings you a smattering of Seattle/Washington state tales for you: a mysterious soda machine that dispenses rare sodas (hear us learn what Pepsi AM is in REAL TIME), but it currently off on a journey to find itself, a gravity hill where if you put your car in neutral it will go up the hill (because of... child ghosts? Possibly?), and the horrifying story behind the Wilderness "Starvation" Heights sanitarium, where "Dr." Linda Hazzard starved many of her patients to death with extreme fasting.
Would you drink a mystery soda from the mystery soda machine? Even if it was New Coke? We introduce a new player in the Wine Times cinematic universe (warm welcome to marketing bro Tom) and get in our feelings a bit over how diet culture affects us all. Don't worry, we didn't forget our weekly "oops, our brothers listen to this" joke. ~Bowels gotta bowel.~
